Top 6 Ways Your Job Is Killing Your Relationship

    2. You do not sleep with your spouse

You may think that sleeping with your spouse shouldn’t matter, but it does make a difference. My husband worked the graveyard shift for over two years and we only slept together on the weekends; and even then it didn’t always happen. My husband was used to being up at the time I was sleeping and he had a hard time staying awake during the day when we wanted to go and have fun as a family. Having opposite schedules was really affecting our relationship. One of us was always tired, and the other always annoyed that we couldn’t go someplace or do something because the other couldn’t stay awake. While not always doable, try to make sure your schedules are similar — that you are both sleeping at same time, whether it be during the day or during the night.
