What is a two-city career in a marriage?

This entry describes a two-city career as a marriage in which the two jobs place the spouses in different cities for a stretch, with a home, a commute, or a reunion plan between them. It lists the usual costs: who travels, who keeps the residence, what any children experience, and whether the arrangement has an end date.
