5 Really Good Things That Can Be Bad for Your Marriage

4.  Work

Work is a necessary part of life, and it’s best when we have a job that we love.  However, we must make sure that we don’t let our work time overtake our family time, and this is much easier said than done–but it can be done.  We must be willing to set healthy boundaries when it comes to our work.  This means, we do our best to be home for dinner.   We don’t have lunch with colleagues of the opposite sex by ourselves.  We try to limit our out of town work trips whenever possible.  As much as we possibly can, we finish our work and leave it at there so that we can fully engage with our family at home. We make sure that our boss knows how much we value our family time, and we plan our schedules accordingly.
