When couples navigate identity changes from upward mobility

My wife and I are both first-generation college graduates making good money now, but we fight about everything from where to live to how to talk to our kids about money because we're each trying to figure out what success is supposed to look like.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared upward mobility can paradoxically create distance when partners process class transition differently and struggle to build new shared values.
