Re: How Work Can Affect Your Marriage
Essential is not the word!!! When I first started working from home, my husband couldn't deal with the fact that I worked all around the clock. I did it because I could and it definitely helped make ends meet. We constantly argued, got into all kinds of disagreements etc. It strained our marriage big time. Who would have thought, working at home will strain ur marriage. I later found a way to separate home and work and make schedules!!! Its a MUST. It's the only thing that works for us. Best of luck!

Re: How Work Can Affect Your Marriage
This is a very difficult thing to do but it can be done. I had to learn to find something, some sort of activities for my kids while I worked so I can work in peace. Luckily we moved so I now have my very own office space. Separating yourself from the family for the time you work is mandatory for success. Also keeping your work in your home office rather than throughout the rest of the house works wonders as well. Show your spouse some undivided attn when the work day is done. He/She misses that.

Leave work at work and home and at home.
Well this is a bit difficult for me to do as I work....at home, lol. So I try my best to leave my work in my little closet office when I'm spending time with my family. Working at home or outdoors can affect your marriage. Since work was right around the corner, I would awake late at night and go into my office to catch up on some work. My hubby took it for awhile but soon couldn't. He left and I was devastated. I didn't see what it was doing to our marriage. I have since learned to set office hours and outside of those hours, its family time. It's a strict rule in our house. Don't lose your family. Have them both, work and love. Maddy
