We’ve been really supportive of one another.”⁠ ⁠ He added that he was glad his wife had kept working as a college professor over the decades, stressing that in order to keep a marriage strong, it was important for both parties to have their separate passions and goals.⁠ ⁠ Jill Biden, who still teaches English composition at Northern Virginia Community College and has a doctorate in education, is the first first lady with a paying job outside the White House.⁠ ⁠ “It’s important that she has the things that she cares a great deal about, her independence,” the president said. “And yet we share each other’s dreams.”⁠ ⁠ Jill Biden said that the couple had endured much pain together over the years, a likely reference to the loss of her stepson Beau Biden, who died from a brain tumor in 2015 at the age of 46.⁠ ⁠ Beau was the eldest child of Joe Biden and his first wife, Neilia Hunter Biden, who died in a car crash in 1972 with the couple’s one-year-old daughter, Naomi. ⁠ ⁠ “All that we’ve been through together — the highs, the lows and certainly tragedy and loss — there’s that quote that says sometimes you become stronger in the fractured places,” she said. “That’s what we try to achieve.” Read more at our link in bio. // 📷 AP Photo」2月4日 9時01分
