time management
There is certainly something to be said about couples on the same schedule… it’s nice. Have you ever been involved with someone who struggled working through the graveyard shift and is just heading into work as you –after a long day of work for yourself– see them head off just in time to kiss them good-bye?
It can’t be fun. What about couples with kids who have to juggle this charade? My parents did it for a few years… Mom worked first shift …Dad worked second… it couldn’t have been easy.
Sometimes there’s just not enough time in a day… Spending time with the one person you supposedly “like” or even “love” shouldn’t be so hard. It shouldn’t feel like a chore and it shouldn’t mean making drastic sacrifices to your daily schedule. Some couples never have a day off together… I know of one couple who only share Sundays together so unfortunately, they don’t do many “couple” things with each other or anyone else for that matter… is it worth it? Doctors, lawyers and other round-the-clock professionals sometimes have to forfeit their happiness with their loved ones to propel their status in their career …to make the money to support the very people they’re depriving themselves from…
If you knew you’d be giving up being able to spend quality time with your special someone because their schedule was ridiculous, would you try to stick it out?
