Working with A Spouse is Not So Good
by Couples should spend quality time together.
Space, everybody needs it. If a couple is always in company of each other, the possibility is that they might be fed up. Thus, I do not believe that it is a good idea to work with your spouse, not unless the company where the spouses are working is large enough that they could be assigned in different divisions or departments where they still have to be apart for hours.
Most of the time, being together physically and always, may create a gap between spouses. They tend to be very familiar with each other which may result to quarrels and misunderstandings if not controlled. It is better to have time alone or be far from each other for sometime so they would long more for each other’s company after a day’s work.
Based on my observations, couples who work together in the same location or in the same place seem to frequently argue ending up to squabbles. The reason may be is that, familiarity bridge gap. There is no more thrill. They no longer miss each other because they are always together. Thus, the tendency is to split up.
Maybe, at the start of togetherness it is just okay. But, nothing is permanent in this world that, even the feelings towards each other may fade away if one is already fed up seeing the same person day and night. To think that after the night sleep, when a spouse wakes up he or she will see the same face until he or she will again return to sleep. It is like eating food. If one eats the same menu day and night, it will no longer be delicious for one who is used to seeing and eating the same kind.
One may ask, what if there is really no way that the other spouse can find work separate from that of the other spouse, what will be the best thing to avoid too much familiarity or being used up?
The spouses should have separate physical activities that both of them enjoys, so they will not notice the passing of time. Though they are together they are busy with each others chores. If possible, let friends and other family members be there to join them. Love should always be their foundation, compromises and patience should be practiced. They have to treat each other as a friend who longs so much to be cared and understood and not to be too critical with each other’s lapses and shortcomings.
Sense of humor counts a lot to lighten the load of each one by laughing together and taking things lightly as it comes their way. Foremost, their relationship as husband and wife should be God-centered.
