Did the seemingly impossible. Wife and I offered tenure track positions in the same department. Chair of the department is also a husker fan. Life is good.
We've lived apart for 2 years, but this is her first year on the job market. We lucked out on literally our last shot. Between the two of us, we submitted I think 92 job applications this year.
Remember, once you are tenured you have to post office hours that no students can ever actually make...but also you have to make sure to never actually be in your office during those office hours!
