Just Like Mr. Obama Let's Love Family

Family supersedes career. It supersedes fame and money. If the United States of America President Barack Obama could not attend Muhammad Ali's funeral two weeks ago because he wanted to be at his daughter Malia's high school graduation ceremony, nothing should stand in the way of any man being caring and responsible for his family. Mr. Obama and his wife Michelle were in Washington for their daughter’s graduation and sent a letter to be read at Ali’s funeral in Louisville, Kentucky, instead.

Whatsoever career a spouse chooses is part of living and he/she wants to make a success of it. But how many spouses know that success is measured by how you are able to have a balance in all areas of your life? A successful career should also have behind it, a successful home-front.  Mind you, keeping a home is for both partners.  How to have an enviable home despite your demanding careers?

·        Both spouses must understand the nature of their work and learn to talk about it to each other. If you are self-employed and running your own shop, allow your spouse come over at his/her leisure and experience whatever makes you close late.

·        Employed? Share your joys, sorrows, problems together and he/she should know your boss or some of your colleagues. In all, there is need to plan out your time and give space to each segment of your life.
