Addison Heard uses an image of his wife and infant son for the background on his laptop. An MBA student at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business, Heard thinks about his family constantly. But because he’s away at B-school he has experienced much of his son’s first year via phone calls and digital photos. Says Heard, "it has been particularly hard, not being there with them every day. "
This was his family’s choice. It didn’t make financial sense for his wife, Eden, a corporate lawyer in Washington, to quit her job, sell their condo(公寓), and move to Charlotterville with her husband. So he went alone. In his first year each spouse made the 200-mile round-trip commute on alternate weekends. Since their son was born last May, Addison has been doing most of the driving.
As complicated as the Heard’s situation seems, it isn’t all that rare. In any year, hundreds of couples deal with how to handle the family logistics(后勤工作)of going to B-school. Some choose a long-distance relationship, commuting back and forth on weekends and breaks.. Others see partners and children only on vacations and holidays. Still others pack up the family and bring them along.
Being apart hasn’t been easy, but the Heards have made it work. On weekends when the couple is in Virginia, they attend social events, so she can feel a part of the community. Heard also avoids Friday classes to gain more family time. "We’ve gotten into a routine that works," he says, "but I’m looking forward to being home, so the three of us can be a family."
Any long-distance commute puts pressure on a relationship, causing some couples to drift apart. Being thrown in a rigorous academic schedule for one spouse and a demanding career for the other, the stress intensifies, often distracting students from their studies.
Some schools offer students in these situations a good deal of support. For faraway spouses, t here are on-campus social events when they visit, online communities, even involvement in alumni networks in their home cities. But mainly B-schools try to make it easier for students to take their partners along for the ride. They help families find housing, preschools, or local employment.
The decision to attend a distant B-school is fraught (伴随着的) with financial and logistical problems.
Students also must decide if their families should stay or go. Either way, schools try to accommodate them. "We have more than ourselves to think about,’ an MBA student, Cory Hrncirik says. "It’s a family-influenced choice. "
One spouse going to school would make the other ______.

解析
同义转述。文章的前几段都在以Addison Heard为例来描述这种一方攻读学位,另一方留守家庭的状况。在第五段概括了这种生活状况对家庭所产生的影响,那就是一方要腾出学习的时间,而另一方的工作要求就更高,压力也增加。
