The two body problem (2 professionals in academia finding jobs close to each other, for some value of close that is reasonable for daily life) is famous in science in general. It is, unless one of you has a Nobel Prize, unsolvable without one person making a change of career.

I think many places have seen this problem and are actively trying to solve it. I know several spousal hires.

I know a few people who have stayed in academia and done this.

In my case, my partner is not in academia which makes it a bit easier.
