A colleague and I are seeking participants for research on commuter
marriages/relationships. We will examine relationship satisfaction,
career satisfaction, decision making, response of employers and
colleagues to commuter arrangements, relationships with family and
friends, stress, and health and nutrition variables as related to
commuting. We hope to look at differences between "successful"
(relationships that are still ongoing whether or not the partners are
still commuting) and "unsuccessful" commuters (whose relationships ended
in separation or divorce). We would also like to compare same-sex and
opposite-sex commuter relationships. We will maintain complete
confidentiality in all phases of our research.
If you are now, or ever have been, in a relationship in which you and
your partner lived apart for at least three days a week due to career
requirements, and you are willing to participate in our study by
questionnaire or interview, please contact me at my e-mail address:
