Abstract
Increased demands at both work and home make it necessary for individuals and families to negotiate an increasingly precarious work-life balance. Managerialist discourse is one popular means of managing work-life balance by using corporate discourse to construct home life. This article uses the lens of corporate colonization to examine the often porous work-life boundaries of dual-earner couple's co-constructions of work-life concerns. Results suggest that the organizational realm is ever present in the couples’ understanding of the “ideal couple” and what should constitute “appropriate” interactions.
