I've been married 7 years, have two kids, am 30 years old, live outside the US (we are American citizens though) and am applying to PhD programs for fall 2019. Everyone other than my partner already thinks I'm insane for trying to move across the world with a family, so I guess I'm not too worried what other grad students might think! I am very apprehensive about relocating to the US and starting our life over, though. My husband and I will have been out of college for 9 years, we've built a life here, but we're ready for a new adventure. Will anyone else's spouse be arriving unemployed and hoping to find a job? That's kind of our biggest worry apart from finding housing, daycare and schools (our kids will be 2.5 and 5 next year).
