Use a table.

If the relationship between them is such that they must be side by
side, then a table is the correct element to use.

Two columns must be side-by-side, Chris, yet the received
wisdom is that a table is an inappropriate way of presenting
such material, both because it compromises accessibility
and because the semantics of <table> are inappropriate to
something that is not fundamentally tabular in nature.

I have exactly the same requirement (except in my case it is
the second column that I would like to shrink as the window narrows),
and I too am keen to learn of a clean CSS-based solution.
