Love and Relationships

How does work affect love and relationships? 

Nowadays, it takes an entire family to work together to make ends meet. When families work together, they produce a healthy relationship built on love. On the other hand, work can bring down a home. To learn more, continue reading.

Work, work, work, that is all you seem to care about…one partner may say this to the other since they feel left behind in the relationship. When work interferes with relationships, the partner on trial needs to step back and ask him or herself, which direction am I heading? What is your purpose? Are you spending quality time with your family and partner? Does your mate take the second seat to your work? 

What is most important to you?

When you take the time to analyze the situation, you are proving loyalty to your relationship since you are considering your mate's feelings and needs. As humans, we need to feel loved. Love includes the sense of closeness and intimacy; this is your partner feeling neglected because you are not providing love or the elements humans require to feel loved?

Intimacy is more profound than sexual gratification. When two people join in privacy, the goal is to provide satisfaction to both the mind and body. Intimacy also means sharing ideas, opinions, thoughts, emotions, etc., together, which is part of satisfying the mind. Intimacy also includes sharing privacy in togetherness and personal expressions while joining in relationships.


What do you do when you are not working? 

Many women complain that when their mate arrives home from work, they often sit on the couch in front of the television after dinner and focus on the screen. Thus, this is not considering, respecting, or caring for your mate. Women, as men, need love too, and love does not mean dishing out the need on your terms.

A real loving man will consider his wife or mate in all decisions unless the decision is out of her boundaries. In other words, a man would not place the burden of helping him decide what to do in his workplace. First, the mate is not working your job; thus, asking her advice will lead nowhere unless she has experience related to your expertise. Of course, talking about your post out of terms only instigates conversation, but your entire conversation with your mate consists of your work's history and problems.

If you only converse about your work, how is it that you and your mate are sharing? The focus of your conversation is one-sided, and the object is you. Keeping the chain of communication open can benefit any relationship. Shallow minds often find chaos throughout their life. Stereotyping is another problem that causes harm to relationships. Boisterous communication is noisy turbulence that makes the listening party wonder why they bother to converse with you.

Complaining is another problem that breaks down relationships. This opens communication since some people need a different view or misinterpretation of complaining. When a mate addresses issues nicely and considers you while making the problems known, this is not a complaining action. Instead, it is a loving gesture. When a person repeats, recites, or makes the same complaint repeatedly. Thus, this is nagging, which will only send the other mate to the roof.

When bringing issues to the front, a mate will consider the person in question, and this is visual in the following example.

The husband works long hours and rarely spends time with his family. Thus, the mate feels that the mate's work is more important than their relationship. Instead of angrily handling the problem, the wife lovingly approaches her husband. She tells him once there is a problem in the relationship and lets him know the problem, doing this calmly, relaxed, and collectively.

The husband considers her complaints, and a few weeks go by without any effort to react to her needs and feelings. Instead of bringing the subject up again, the wife continues her journey in life, feeling alone. What do you think will be the result of this relationship?
