Yes, Abhira are opposites in a lot of ways. Not just in these V day aspects and profession but even in temperament, nature... she sings, he is besura. She goes silent when hurting or angry, he yells and does thod-phod. She believes in accommodating others / family, he does it only if it suits him.
Until the previous generation, it was like that. Doctors preferred doctors because non-doctors would not understand the pressures and most non-med professions and jobs had fairly regular timings and predictable work pressures. Now that's hardly the case, courtesy of internet and global work.
Me and my husband both are doctors. He works in a corporate hospital where the timings are fairly regular barring the emergencies, of course. We get to coordinate our day-offs and spend some time together. My brother works in a software company. Europe timings. His wife has US timings. They struggle a lot more than we do. My husband's sister is a doctor married to a non-doctor.
So it's less to do with profession and more to do with the couples and their desire and determination to adjust and adapt IMO.
