This booklet focuses on interpersonal techniques that two-career couples can use to boost their careers, organize their lives, and enhance their relationships. The guide begins by outlining expected traits of career-oriented women and commenting on the social changes that have made careers desirable for more women. It mentions the differences between men and women in how they choose a career and discusses the influence of motherhood on women's working lives. Possible two-career paths are described: working for the same employers, self-employment, and working from home. Areas of interpersonal competence are discussed, such as role balance, complementary skills, sacrifices, and marital stability. The guide lists skill requirements for dual-career couples and suggests counseling to set goals and improve communication between the partners. A list of discussion topics is provided. Recommended reading includes 13 publications on dual-career families, 11 on the female career perspective, 2 on the male perspective, and a guide to child care in Australia. (KC)
