Tis the Season of Divorce (3) By Dr. Michael Brooks
The third problem is that your spouse is married to their job. They can’t possibly leave their work at work and will bring it home for the holidays. They are constantly checking emails, cell phones, calling co-workers for updates. No matter what you have planned, they will get up and leave whatever is going on. You can’t reason with this kind of spouse. The job comes first, and you and your family comes second. This person seems unsettled with work and family. They do not commit to any holiday. You can’t get this person to take some time for the family. You may have Thanksgiving or a Christmas dinner planned and during the course of having your meal, and everyone is enjoying each other’s company, this spouse will get up with a cell phone in hand and will answer a call out in the hallway or in another room. This kind of action will make for a very angry spouse, eventually pleading and begging their spouse to turn the phone off. How many people do we know that will fit into this category? I certainly know some people that do and have seen it happen with my very own eyes.
I want To Save My Marriage, But How?
My tips for this person and please listen carefully. If you want to avoid ending up in a divorce court pay attention:
- Turn your phone off at dinner
- If you must answer the phone have a certain time that people can call you and not be available all day.
- If you can, let your staff or your boss know that you’re spending time with family it’s vacation time.
- Family first, if you don’t make them a priority you will not have a family to worry about.
- Pay attention to your spouse and kids; they need you!
These are simple rules to follow, but are necessary to keep harmony within the family during the holidays. If you want to keep your marriage intact, then I suggest that you work on a budget, have great communication and leave work at work and don’t allow others to fill your time. That my friend is reserved for your family. If you have time, make sure that your spouse feels important to you and love them as much as you can. Spending time together is a great way to heal a hurting relationship.
Do you dread the holidays, the family fights, the arguments? Are you considering a divorce because of the in-laws are making your life miserable?
