There may also be other external factors that come into play. Dual-career Global Cosmopolitan couples frequently find that, in addition to working on their issues as a couple, they have to manage those who inadvertently judge them, including colleagues, family , friends, and different values about how things should be done.

Some of the women I interviewed in Middle Eastern countries described the challenges of being successful in the region, particularly the importance of having appropriate support to continue working. This support needed to come not only from mentors, sponsors, and bosses but also from spouses, adding another dimension to the resilience of the couple .Pamela lived in England, Ireland, and France for over 20 years. As an engineer, she was able to have a very interesting and high-powered career . She had met and married her husband, who was also Lebanese, in London. They decided to move to Dubai with their two children , to be closer to family .

She says: ‘I wanted to be closer to home. I still have to travel for work, but the distances are much shorter. My position as a managing partner in a top consulting firm makes a huge difference. It provided the initial respect I need to succeed as a woman and makes a difference for other female colleagues. I have a great support system in Dubai, including my mother, who can fly here to step in when needed, and most importantly, my husband who backs my professional ambitions wholeheartedly. I know that I need all the support I can get, particularly from him, if I want to achieve my goals.’
