Is there such a thing as work life balance? What happens if you are a newlywed and don't have time to see your wife/husband? What should one do?

Wouldn't the answer, at least in part, depend on the perception of what the priorities are?

What do u mean u dont hav time? u make time, always. u can say u dont have time throughout ur entire life. ***if u make the time, u'll have time.***
also, y would someone not make time for a spouse? work is not a valid reason. is putting a marriage on the line worth it?
ppl might work all day and be extremely tired, but they must make an effort to please their spouse. if that effort is not present, then the marriage is doomed.

Are you suggesting it should be more of a Life - Work balance rather than Work - Life balance? What are you trying to say, TheGreatOne? :)

is he talking to himself? :confused:

Well, I don't know how it is possible. I am still at work and it's 10:20pm. When would I see my hubby, if I had one??

Provided this is really the job you really want to do for this many hours a day, there are still alternatives to how to do it. Can the job offer telecommuting, for example?

well u can get another job. if u get urself a husband, then hopefully there will be children coming along too. a woman must build her home the Torah way and raise the children in the correct path in life. how does she hope to do this if she is never there?

if u want to work and help bring money home, then u can work. it should be something that wont interfere with ur home life. u will be the wife and the mother, and with that comes great responsibility. if u have to sacrifice ur job for a different one so that u can care for ur family, then i think a woman should do so. FAMILY comes first. its more important than a career. for some reason the feminism issue tends to come in here......

Don't worry I have a solution for you. Don't work.

Дома сиди. Будь домохозяйкой. За мужом ухаживай. Стирай. А самое главное Ражай.

I agree with you 100%.
First list and prioritize your daily activities and always make you have some balance between leisure activities(your personal play time), work/school or both, and there was something else. If I remember it correctly, I think it would be your ADLs (activities of daily living) it's when you're taking care of yourself, your home, children if you have any, everyday stuff.

Right now you are single and really have no reason to be home early. However, when you have a hubby, you'll be in a rush(hopefully :tongue21: ) to get home. So, it will work out somehow.

In this country, it's really tough to balance your work with personal life, especially if you have a boss, who is a workoholik and not family oriented. Do you catch my drift? :)
