Money management, too,
presents some hassles. There
are a number of ways you
can go, but one expert
recommends that each of
you pay for a certain area of
home expenses out of your
own separate bank ac-
counts. That way, each
partner has a share of the
economic responsibility.
Entertainment is also
likely to cause some trou-

to talk things out. Ideally,
you might want to take

On an emotional and psy-
chological level, a working
couple has to come to terms

for the two-career couple
that can place extra strain
on a marriage, but the fact
is, more and more couples

Bridal registry
Bridal gift registries,
available in many depart-
ment and jewelry stores, of-
fer you an invaluable ser-
vice at wedding time.
The registry consultants
are trained specialists in co-
long-range decision-making,
daily organization of life
and psychological and emo-
tional conflicts.
Whose career comes first?
That's one of the toughest
areas of long-range plan-
ning for partners who have
careers rather than just jobs.
It affects where you live,
what you do.
Probably the best way to
deal with the problem is for
both of you to make up in-
dividual career plans, then
come together and decide
which parts of each plan can

In addition, bridal regis-
tries help ensure that you re-
ceive gifts that you really
need, and save you the time
it takes to run around from
store to store, exchanging
duplicate gifts. Your friends
and relatives will be happy
with the added convenience
of being able to select gifts
by telephone.

When searching for your ;

around if you like, but don't
feel uneasy if you find
something you really like

on the husband's part that
his wife will be more suc-

wife's part that she won't be
able to play all the roles of
wife, mother and profes-
sional; anxiety on both parts
when it comes to traditional
sex roles.
The important thing for
any couple, and in particular
the two-career couple with
all its special troubles, is to
talk things out the moment
there is a problem. Remem-

Another of the long-range
bones of contention is

careers at various stages to
deal with the raising of chil-
