Summary

Manage the competing demands of careers, childrearing, and chores - together.

When you and your partner are prioritizing your careers and your family, every day can feel like a series of small and large negotiations. How you navigate balancing both of your careers with your family life not only affects the type of people you're raising, your success at work, and how smoothly your household runs, but also how you feel about each other. Can you each chase your dreams, raise good citizens, make time for hobbies and health, and nourish your relationship well enough that you still like each other when your nest is empty and you're in your final acts of your careers?

If it seems like a lot, that's because it is a lot. But it is possible to support your family, your children, your careers, and your relationship without collapsing into a heap every Friday night. In Two-Career Families, experts provide answers to the challenges you face as a working parent partner from negotiating responsibilities at home to making career decisions to supporting each other's growth.

You'll learn to define success as individuals, as a family, and as a couple; stay on top of daily demands while tracking long-term goals; communicate your needs more effectively; make fair tradeoffs; deal with crises and setbacks; build and maintain a team mindset; and balance it all - or most of it.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
