My wife and I are gearing up to start a self-funded search in the New Year.  Does anyone have suggestions on managing the search process as a couple, both to keep our marriage healthy as well as to make the best impression with sellers/intermediaries?  Also, we'd appreciate help finding practical guides for self-funded searchers to get off the ground (tools, best practices, sample outreach letters, etc).  Thanks in advance, we've been overwhelmed with the generosity of the search community!

Hi, ^redacted‌ - I came across this HBR article on how couples whose professional and personal lives are intertwined can navigate key transitions and thought of you. https://hbr.org/2019/09/power-couples#how-dual-career-couples-make-it-work. Would love to have an update on how things are going for you. Warmly, Karen

Hi Duncan - my wife and I did a self-funded search and acquired about 4 months ago. It’s been fantastic for us, and we met with several other couples looking into this path at the Barcelona conference. Happy to talk through any questions. Shoot me an email at redacted
