Top 6 Ways Your Job Is Killing Your Relationship

    6. You let your job be your priority

Having work take precedence over every other aspect of your life is a problem. Your family should be your priority, but if they feel they are not, things could fall apart quickly. Yes, your job is important; yes, it allows you to live a certain way and is required to survive in this world, but if it is taking all your time, energy, effort and patience, it may be time to evaluate what is most important.

If you find even one of these red flags to be true about your work, then take it as a warning that your job might be ruining your marriage. It is easy to blame your spouse for not being more understanding or not having more empathy for your moodiness or late nights, but he or she deserves the best side of you — not whatever is left over after all your energy goes to work.
