Power moves in a power couple

As usual, I was having a conversation with a friend when we started discussing being a part of a power couple.

What brought this topic up? Seeing Hilary Clinton on television once again. We've seen a lot of Hilary, but not a lot of Bill. My friend spoke of how, though both were successful, every time one stood directly in front of the spotlight, the other took a step back.



Now, maybe both parties in a couple aspiring to presidency is a stretch for most of us. However, there are couples out there where both people are at the top of their game in every aspect including careers. He may be a CEO while she may be a booming entrepreneur.

Of course, we all wants someone who is equally yoked. However, the character it usually takes to become a major player in society is quite different from what it usually takes to have a successful relationship. Bringing the "take it all" mentality to the home where "giving of yourself" is vital can cause damage between significant others.

In a relationship where both people are very successful, what is the best way to balance each other's successes?
