Finding time to spend quality time together! |
Recently the hubby told me something he heard and I agree with it 100%: what we need to achieve is work and life harmony. I am very blessed to have married a man who believes in me and encourages me to take on challenges. We both support each other on the pursuit of our dreams and we make sacrifices for each other when necessary.
For example, the other day I was stressing out with a test a had to take for my MBA, and the hubby took care of dinner—we ate take out—but still, he knew I was stressing so he made sure I didn’t have to worry about making food for us. He also took care of our dog and made sure she didn’t bother me while I was taking the test—she loves to jump on top of me and sit on my laptop when I am working which is cute but annoying. He tidy up the house a bit because he knows that I get even more stressed when the house is messy. All these small things tell me that he has my back and that he will make sure I achieve my goals.
talking about support, these two fell asleep in my office while I was studying. they are there for me even if they are sleeping |

So we have found the work/life harmony that works for us. We
are able to spend quality time with each other, take care of our family and
still pursue our dreams. Yes, some days we are so exhausted and tired we ask
ourselves “what are we doing?” but then we get some rest and we are ready to
keep going. I can’t say that this will continue to be the same when kids
come into the picture, but I am sure we will be able to adjust our work/life
harmony as needed.
The day we promised to be teammates for the rest of our lives! |
The way I say it, marriage is a team. And much like a sports
team works, the parties have to be synchronized to win the game. Also, teammates
got to have each other’s back and fill in for one another when necessary. A
marriage is no different. Make sure you have the right teammate—I sure do!
