Work shouldn’t ruin marriages

Have you felt ever like a stranger in a house you once “lived in”? Do you see your spouse as just another person to deal with everyday? Do you spend more time facing your laptop than your spouse? Is your cell phone’s ringtone sweeter to hear than your partner’s?

You see, married couples used to have a life together before the popularity of business gadgets. Weekends were spent together and to be unreachable was accepted. Monday was just a day away anyway.—–But sadly, that’s not the case anymore. Work’s demand is growing and finding time alone for each other is almost impossible. Work is slowly destroying the marriage, making couples estranged from and show less emotion towards each other.

But in every problem, they say there’s a solution. Here are some tips that could possibly save your marriage.

• Know when to draw the line between Work and Home.
• Don’t bring your work in the bedroom. Using it for work rather than time together takes away the romantic meaning of the room
• When you come home, despite your tiredness, greet your spouse merrily and BE home. (don’t look like you’re still computing numbers on your head). Then ask her about her day and tell her yours. Don’t immediately turn-on the TV!
• Try to stick to your scheduled work hours. If you can’t, then make sure you find one day in the week or the weekend to have some time alone together
• Switch-off whatever disturbing business gadget/s you have. Spend time with your spouse and kids. Remember, even God rested on the 7th day.
