Working on a Marriage

By Sienna Nalin


The love between two loving people is beautiful. There are relationships out there that are struggling and not doing so well because people forget that their job and all those things do not provide the love and care that their partner can give to them. When things go bad your job cannot comfort you, you need your partner for that, so here is some more insight to improve your relationship.

Marriage is a hard job in its own. It's about learning when to speak up, and when to shut up. You pick your battles, and sometimes you start wars you never meant to finish. Sometimes the best laid plans go awry, and sometimes you can't fix the things you mess up. It's a little bit scary when you think about it like that. It's very easy after a long, hard day at the office to go home and forget that your partner might have had the same day, and that he or she might need whatever you need back from them as badly as they do. But you're both too darned tired to see the forest for the trees. Or rather, to see what each other needs and be there for each other.

As you see many problems that arise in marriage are work related. In order to fix such situations you have to step back and see that your job should not be your main priority, but your family should be. Your family may cut you some slack for some time, but eventually they will get fed up with you putting work over quality time with them.

The real question is, are you meeting your loved ones needs? Are you seeing them as often as you should and are they questioning why they do not get to see you? If the answers are not what you expect and you come out looking like you spend too much times on other commitments such as work, well maybe you need to start changing things. Many people do think that it is too hard to work both into their schedule, but you have to find a way to make it work.

The people you have in your life are important so stop making them feel as if they are not. These relationships you have in your life including your life partner have chosen to be in your life through the good and the bad. That also means that you must do the same and see that work should not extend past the hours required. You have to see that your health and the love you get from others are much more important.

I guess you're getting the sense of where this article is going; you should start putting your loved ones such as your spouse first. If you can keep your loved one happy, everything else in your life will be better because you have them there to help when things get rough.
