Scenario

When couples who teach together struggle with power dynamics

My wife and I teach Tai Chi to seniors together but she's become controlling about how I interact with students and corrects me in front of the class. I think she's trying to protect the students but it's undermining my confidence and making me dread something I used to love, and our marriage is taking the hit.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Professional disagreement about teaching methods is damaging both the partnership and personal relationship.
