Juggling Love And Career

How Does One Balance A Career And A Love Life

 

Careers And LoveHuman beings are social people, but not everyone is suited for a relationship. I am one of those people and I choose not to seek out a relationship and instead focus on faith, family, friends and my career. Of course, I’ve been in relationships before and certainly know how difficult it can be to balance a love life with a career.

It can be quite difficult, as relationships move forward. Ideally, two people who meet each other when they are younger are going to start both a career and a family if they decide to get married after school. Whether that be high school or college. Of course, everyone is on an individual path and people fall at love at different times. Sometimes people end up balancing love and career quite often, and some careers are harder to do that with than others.

Even a person who tells themselves they work a job instead of a career, spends hours each day away from his or her spouse. Career oriented people can sometimes be out of the country! This may be a little extreme, but think about doctors, lawyers, police officers, etc. Firefighters are gone for days in a row, living at the firehouse.

Police officers sometimes have a hard time keeping their work life separate from their home lives and also bringing them together at the right times. Think about what they deal with all day long and then they come home and have to do the family thing. Life in general, with so much on your plate can feel like so much of a grind at times, even if things are just peachy. So how do you balance work and your love life?

It might be a delicate balance, but you have to do the best you can. Work is going to make certain demands on you, but realise that there is more to life than your career. When you have the choice, you need to choose your family when it’s right. How would you say you handle those choices currently?

Time management is obviously going to be key and if you don’t have kids yet, count your blessings. Once you have kids, you’re balancing your love life, your career and your kids at the same time. It can be done but it just takes a little time and a lot of planning!
