Are Erratic Work schedules making Couples become more Talkative

Posted on November 6, 2009 in Marriage Advice

In today’s world, both men and women work. The work schedules in the corporate world are mostly erratic. There are clashes between the daily life activities of the partners. They do not get much time to spend together and weekly offs are mainly spent on some much needed sleep and rest. When the partners finally manage some time to spend together, they become more talkative and less responsive.

What is this Sorry state: It is natural and beneficial for a healthy married life that the couple converse with each other regularly. The conversation can be related to personal, professional or any other issue. More than the topic, it is the moment spent together that is imperative for the relation in long term. But because of the erratic work schedules the urge to spend some quality time remains suppressed in men and women.

Why this Sorry state persists: The couples have very less time to spend together. A strange sense of urgency creeps in such private moments too. The couple plan and prioritize the issues they want to raise in these moments in prior. And such moments arrive, all gates of the flood are let loose. Instead of pleasantly sharing some moments of intimacy, the couple become more talkative.

How to overcome this Sorry state: It is a matter of realization and choice to make. The couple should realize that family bond and materialistic satiation by following corporate job and life style do not go hand in hand. In the larger interest of the relation and the family, any one spouse has to take the back seat and ensure his or her presence at home after the partner returns from work. The effort should be provide appropriate ambiance and comfort to the tired partner after the day’s work. With such pleasant conditions at home, one partner will be eager to listen and the other will be prepared to talk rather than become more talkative. The choice to play such a role should be voluntary.
