Getting married in grad school?
by GradSchoolBoundBadge
Hello all!
Not sure if this is the best place to put this, but I guess it's somewhere to start.
For those of you with significant others, what's your stance on getting married while working on your PhD? I am starting my program in the fall and I have a very wonderful and supportive boyfriend. We've been together long enough that the topic of marriage has come up. The issue is that I want to wait until I'm done with school to get married and he feels like that's too far away.
Without trying to make this too much about my own relationship, I'm wondering if any of yo...
Survival Tips for the Spouses of Grad Students
Bronwyn Lea
When I read Bronwyn Lea's post about being married to a grad student, knowing she had been a grad student herself, I asked her if she would tweak it for our audience of mostly women grads and academics. She graciously agreed. Are you or were you married in grad school? What advice do you have for our readers and their spouses? — Marcia

We thought as we both h...
Grad school and long-term romantic relationships
I know this is a bit off topic from the rest of the threads, but I was wondering how many people are in a similar situation as I am. I'm applying for literature PhD programs and my partner is applying for MA programs in I/O psychology. We've been dating for about 2.5 years and our relationship has made the application process even more stressful. We both applied to upwards of ten schools and we tried to apply to schools in the same area (since it's hard to find schools that have both a good psych and lit program) which limited some great options. Now that we're starting to hear back from place...

Self-Care Tips for Graduate Students
During the first year of my doctoral program, I lived, breathed, and ate work, which
is encouraged in most academic circles. I did well in my coursework and in my
assistantship, but I found myself going through severe bouts of anxiety, despite the
success I experienced on campus. Around the second year, I made a New Year’s
Resolution that I was going to take better care of myself.
