“…The third hypothesis which stated that married working women who had higher educational qualification will experience less marital stress was accepted. The finding is in contrast with previous research on educational level and marital challenges [35,42,45] they opined that women with lower level of education experienced less marital stress compared to those with higher educational qualification. The studies conducted [44,43] reported no correlation between educational level and marital stress.…”

Love Lives at a Distance: Distance Relationships over the Lifecourse

Distance relationships may be increasingly undertaken by dual-career couples at some point in their life course. Although this can make it difficult to quantitatively measure the extent of distance relating, qualitative analysis of distance relationships promises to give considerable insight into the changing nature of intimate lives across the life course. This paper indicates the kind of insights offered via analysis of exploratory research into distance relating in Britain. What begins to emerge is a picture of distance relating as offering certain possibilities in relation to the gendered organisation of emotional labour and of care in conjunction with the pursuit, especially of professional, careers. These possibilities might be more realistic, however, at certain points in the life course. Nevertheless, this new form of periods of separation between partners, tell us a considerable amount about how people approach the challenges of maintaining a satisfying and egalitarian intimate life, involving caring relationships with others, within contemporary social conditions.
