UI professor wants to help couples balance home, work lives

Pay bills, wash the car, bring a snack to your kid's soccer game, find the dog's leash.

Stressed much?

If this sounds all too familiar, a University of Illinois researcher thinks you may be interested in a project focusing on dual-earner couples.

Angela Wiley, a UI professor of human and community development, focuses on an area of research called family resiliency. She explores ways to improve "the family's ability to remain strong and functional in the midst of stress," she said.
