Abstract: The context of the lives of physicians has unique and challenging features for those in dual-career marriages. The empirical investigation of this phenomenon has remained relatively sparse. This study assesses dual-career couples that include a physician nurture marriage and family relationships while managing the heavy demands of their career. Using a sample of 15 dual-career couples with a key informant physician, a qualitative phenomenological lens investigated how these intimate relationships are nurtured as they manage the other demands of work and life. Two major themes evolved that were associated with intentionality to grow and maintain their relationship before having children and negotiating the demands of life and work after children come into the family. This study discusses important implications for theory, research, and practice as family counselors, therapists, and educators as they focus on adjustment to the unique experience of physicians in dual-career relationships.
