Almost every woman physician I know is married to another physician. The few who aren’t usually met their spouse before med school.

Interesting. A lot of male doctors in the hospital I worked at were married to nurses but now that you mention it the reverse was not true.

Met at an intern party at 21.

Love these stories! DH and I joke that we dodged a bullet meeting before OLD became pervasive. I feel 2nd hand trauma from watching my friends go through OLD.

How old are you? The older generation used to marry female nurses, but the current generation is more likely to marry someone of their same income/education level.

On Bumble 10 years ago. Maybe we just got lucky or maybe online dating is way worse now (probably both), but it worked out for us. It was really cool to meet someone where we had zero pre-existing conceptions or ties. Those first few months of dating felt like we lived in our own little world.

I’m 40, and a lot of my male coworkers are also married to docs, or lawyers/other professionals. I work in a large academic center (not DC).

My son’s private school class has six kids who have dual physician parents and a few with docs married to dentists or lawyers. Going to back to school night feels like going to any other professional gathering.
