Balancing work and a family can be a very challenging task. Work is an important part of our lives but sometimes its hard to remember the reason why we started working the first place. For many it is because they want and need to support their own families in everyday living, education and much more. Often times what can happen is that families and work are viewed as 2 separate things divided into her kids and his work, when they should be one. Another common situation that can occur is that spouses don't have a lot of time to spend together. When a couple gets married they should spend even more time together than when they were dating. That process of courtship should start in the dating process and never stop no matter how many years the relationship goes on for. If there isn't enough time spent with the family and spouse or there is financial struggles contention and tension is created naturally.
So how do we solve or avoid these issues? One thing we can all do in our relationships is exercise communication and discuss within your marriage how to do things. Decide what the marriage/family needs, values and what things can be traded. As long as there is clear communication and understanding a healthy balance between work and family can be established.
