How your profession can affect your relationship

One of the biggest challenges for women is reconciling the pace of working life with their obligations as a mother and their relationships. The difficulties faced range from the kind of profession chosen by the people involved in the relationship to the amount of time and attention it requires from each other.

A survey by the website? Separados de Chile? managed to make a list of the professions that most influence marital life. After interviewing about 1,150 divorce cases, the website found that careers directly linked to the health sector are the ones that lead to the breakup of couples. Second, come the communications professions.

The conclusions are explained. These professions usually require a lot of dedication and attention from those who work in them, often requiring the professional to be available to work at very complicated times.


The generally long workday, coupled with the great possibility of meeting new people, especially in careers that maintain contact with the public, end up generating marital crises. But what to do to prevent your work from disrupting your dating or marriage?

Organize your work schedules

Even if your profession requires many hours of work or steals a few nights sleep and weekends, try to keep a deal with your partner so that it does not influence life together. If you work on weekends, for example, arrange to go out at least one night a week to make up for lost leisure hours on Saturday and Sunday.

Don't take work home

Many professions nowadays allow home office practice, but try not to abuse this benefit. If you need to work from home, try to do so at times when your partner is also working. In general, the rule is that when you are at home, dedicate yourself to your love and children if there are children. The time to work and the time to enjoy the family must be very well defined so that there is no harm on either side.


Keep the dialogue up to date

When we meet someone, we need to make clear the weights and demands of the profession we choose about our daily lives. This includes explaining the problems arising from your career and the space these things occupy in your life. The couple needs to dialogue and set priorities so that they can reconcile the two. Frank talk is always the best thing.

Put yourself in partner's shoes

It is not enough that he understands your side, you must understand his. Should the profession be boring? be his, try to understand the many hours your partner spends in the workplace, as well as the special needs and hours, if any. Not putting yourself in the other's place can be fatal to a relationship as it can lead to unnecessary and unfair charges.

In any case, the key is to seek understanding between the parties involved, compensating for the moments of removal with great affection, fun and companionship. Instead of arguing when you are together, try to seize the opportunity to further tighten the bonds that bind you together.
