Abstract
Abstract Dual-career couples represent an increasingly prevalent, although nontradi-tional, marital arrangement. Its consequent impact on the usual family role structure may be considerable and lead to special interpersonal strains. The ideal of jointly shared attitudes regarding the equalization of power and domestic responsibilities as well as the jointly held belief in the career advancement of each partner is not always achieved in practice. Common sources of family strains and gains are examined in this paper, along with case examples illustrating different forms of accommodation and possible subsequent problematic behavior. Strategies for stress reduction are presented and therapeutic guidelines offered.
