Being absorbed by work is a catastrophic failure, in which men and women fall on a recurring basis. We believe that earning a little extra money is what will make your partner happy, so we work hour after hour, without taking a break. But, how comprehensively good a work can be if we neglect the things that really matter? In the case of our partners, one of the side effects of this kind of life is infidelity. That is why, experts recommend keeping balance between our partners and working environment, so we won’t grow old without someone to keep us company.
People now are strongly persuaded by consumerism, creating a tendency to the superfluous consumption of goods or products, believing that these are the rulers of our time and our attention while we ignore the person who gives us their time and full attention. We should define our priorities! A job may not always be good if we cannot take care of our health; thus, work can leave us no time to whereas the dedication of our marriage strengthens the bonds between you and your partner.
As we work, our companion prepares dinner awaiting our return home late night, and once home, they fill us with nice gestures to reduce stress levels derived from the work done. But, is it our fault that we not always respond the same way? We often forget about thanking our partners for the many sacrifices made daily and we also might consider is their obligation to be content with the little time we share with them.
Our marriage also requires care! We know that the world does not evolve around us, and that small gestures of affection are important in a relationship; no matter how busy we are with work, commitment to our spouses should come first on our list of daily activities.
The infidelity rate is rising, and one of the major causes is “giving greater importance” to work. Both men and women, in a relationship should take the time required to stay in a couple. Both sides of the marriage need to be heard, they make compliments, share common activities like going to the movies or having a meal, or simply just talking; these acts are crucial for living, so they shouldn’t be missed. If one of them fails in this regard, the other meets their emotional needs, creating discomfort and deception.
Reaching old age is not about staying married but about the quality time we spend with our love ones. Where is the glory of success, if we have no one to share it with? We must know to whom we devote our valuable time, because we are giving away something really invaluable.
