They shall understand each other's problems more than ever before and would respect the value of their spouse on the basis of their work. Another plus point is that they can travel together and can adjust their home work according to their work schedule. A better all round adjustment.

I have seen many such couples in my career. after my voluntary retirement, I hired a cabin in a commercial building. There were about five or six cabins hired by different persons for business. One couple had hired a cabin. Dirty talk about other women.os a past time of many. Somebody in the shop was not aware that the man and woman were couple. He made a joke about that woman. The husband got very angry and thrashed the person for making a dirty joke about his wife. The plea that he had no knowledge about the relation had no affect.
There will be many problems when both work in same place between them ego will start slowly and it will reach a certain stage which make them to take divorce.

I thought you had corporate sector in your mind while you started this particular thread. Because I have seen many such couples with perfect understanding. Then we have doctor couples who share the clinics.

That is also true as the world is changing fast with women also having their say in a big way.
There will be many problems when both work in same place between them ego will start slowly and it will reach a certain stage which make them to take divorce.


Such problem arose in the movie 'Abhimaan' starring Amitabh bachan and jaya Bhaduri. But now those in service adjust better. In cemtral government service, i have seen many husbands working in a position junior to their wives. They are normal in their family life.

I have enough examples of such couples where the wife is project heads and the husbands in senior positions but working under their wives without a fuss. They are even proud to have a talented wife.

But this is not applicable to all families there we can see less families like this.
Working women are considered less domestic and more ambitious. Few families can understand the positive aspect of a working bride at home. They respect the whim of the girl and accept her with her career.
If a women is domestic and totally dependent on her husband, she may face problems in future. Problem is not only regarding finance, it is also regarding her career and social life. She does not get chance to prove herself and become famous. Moreover she won't be able to help her husband financially, in need, etc .

Actually problems are faced by both domestic and working women in their married life. It depends on her talent, how she would face and solve the problem.
If the women works outside the home just as the man does, then the house chores are split, not the sole responsibility of the women. Even if she didnt work outside the house, she should not only expect help from the man, the man should want to pitch in, too.
Adjustment is name of the game that can work well with working or non working women. Since this topic is related to adjustment about a couple working in same place so we must consider this point. I think working in same place has an advantage for the couple.
Working wife should know how to manage the office as well as the house. If the working women can't manage this, she shouldn't work.

Otherwise, she could spoil the her house.

A typical Indian male mentality :huh: :sick: They simply dont realise that a house is made of two adults and they should contribute equally to make it a happy place for all, instead of being control freaks ...

Most Indian males want a package deal, a working wife who brings in a decent pay and also be an expert at house management , so that they can put their feet up and take it easy !!!! :huh: :dry:

That includes me, but I never forced things on her and asked her to resign the day I did. Although she was eligible for pension having completed 20 years in her job.

Sunil what matters is mutual understanding and if a lady is willing and happy to do it then thats it - evident from your life where you both have been happily together for so many years ! what is wrong is this over expectation about having a working wife who should also take care of all other matters ..
When man and woman both work in the same organization, male ego is okay as long as wife remains in a junior position. But there is no guarantee that the husband will remain a senior or superior throughout career. The wife may prove more talented and get promoted earlier. I have seen many such cases. Even in film abhiman, it was not known before marriage that the wife (Jaya Bhaduri) would prove more talented. When wife runs faster than husband, male ego disturbs. Happily, now people reconcile to this.

There is a tendency that husband and wife are posted in same office/ station. I feel that they should be posted at different stations though these may be nearby so that they could daily travel using M.S.T. of railway. This will not disturb their life- official as well as domestic.

I am not in favor of posting them in different places or even branches if they can manage to keep them together. You know they ad their relations only improve eating together, traveling together and looking at each other while still working, this improves working efficiency also they can plan better. We have had many IAS/IPS couples posted in same districts.
