what are pros and cons of a marriage between two psychiatrists?

Answer 1

They have the same values and understand the pressure each is under.
They can support and counsel each other.
They will be more self-aware and this will enrich the relationship.
As long as long as they love and respect each other there ought to be no difference in the cons as in any other relationship.

Answer 2

Pro: Water seeks its own level, and as such there will likely be more financial satisfaction between the two individuals.

Con: Studies show that most women prefer a man to make more than they do. That could be an issue.
Long hours, typically, for both could cause a strain on the relationship.

My friend's sister is doing her residency in Georgia, her husband is a well-established Psych in the Detroit area. They're often apart due to this fact. Nevertheless, she seems to be content.

Answer 3

I think the pro would be that the other would know what the other one is going through with trying to deal with patients that seems to be a never ending battle. So, over dinner, they can compare "notes" on what is wrong and what the other one would do about it.
Con I would think would be that since they are what they are, they would try to "one-up" each other and try to get into each others head for a complete competition.
My theory is, if you two are the same thing (or in the same profession) that you should just try to be there for each other and talk about the things that either made you happy without gloating about it, or, try to talk things out when somethings upsets you. Other then that, just talk about the other person, and try not to bring home work so often.

Answer 4

Never a dull moment ; on the other hand , it's possible they might try to undermine each other -but that can happen in any marriage . I think there would be more pros than cons .

Answer 5

They'll save a lot of money spent on marriage counsellors, Psychiatric counselling and therapy, prescription drugsetc. Con is when they try to psychoanalyze each other and their feelings. They'll spend a lot time trying to figure out what each truly mean or their hidden agenda.

Answer 6

pro: they look at each other as they were nuts LOL

con: rivality and different points of view.

PS: most psychiatrists are not super interested in their jobs so I guess it doesnt matter

Answer 7

On the one hand you always have someone there to help you stay honest with yourself...on the other hand I would imagine it would be pretty aggravating to have someone analyzing you all the time...and analyzing each other.

Answer 8

if any one of them get mental illness he/she need not go to another therapist and thus can cut their medical bill. if both of them have good command of the subject, they can understand each other and analyse, solve their psychobiosocial problems amicably

Answer 9

They'll save money on therapist sessions.

Answer 10

it could either be the best or the worst thing that could happen.... or it could just be a normal relationship!
