Life right now feels like organized chaos. Between our personal and professional commitments, it seems my new husband and I constantly running in different directions, weekdays and weekends included: when I'm home, he's out, and when I'm out or working late, he's home. You get the drift.
Throughout our relationship, we've always placed a high emphasis on maintaining our own personalities and activities, even if this means we did a few more things independently than the average couple. But lately it feels like this is the norm, rather than the exception as we try to balance the ability to maintain our personal social lives and get ahead at work with wanting to spend time together and enjoy our first months of marriage.
How do you balance your busy personal/professional life as an individual with your married life?
It actually took a lot of effort in the beginning as we were both so busy all the time. What ended up doing initially was picking one day during the work week that was 'our' night and unless it was something really major going on at work, we stuck to that night. We also decided to limit our other activities to 1 or 2 per week so that we could spend more time together. I think it worked! We've been married 10 years!
