Do you ever feel that demands of work keep you from your obligations at home?

I remember feeling so boxed in. I had to make enough money to pay the mortgage, grocery bill, etc. But then I had no time or energy left for when I got home and my wife was always pissed off at me. And the boys wanted me to go out and shoot some hoops with them but all I could do was sit on the couch watching TV. It was the worst I ever felt in my life.

No, I don't feel boxed in because I follow the recommendations of the MB program. One of the most important recommendations Dr Harley makes is to make sure your job complements your marriage. If you don't have enough time for your marriage and your family, it's not the right job. It takes 15 hours of undivided attention per week to sustain the romantic love in a marriage and 20-25 to create romantic love. He discusses it here: THE POLICY OF UNDIVIDED ATTENTION
