The opposite is also true. How your work is going will affect your relationship. This shouldn’t be surprising because most people spend more time at work than they spend awake with their spouse! If you are happy with your work, that will enhance your relationship. You will probably be in a good mood when you get home. You will be relatively relaxed and will have an enjoyable evening with your spouse. On the other hand, if your job is sheer drudgery, you will probably be stressed when you get home from work. You might spend your evening in a bad mood and complain about work.
How’s Work?
Some people are lucky enough to really enjoy their work and would do it even if they made no money or a lot less money. But the main reason most people work is to earn a salary. That doesn’t mean you need to be miserable at work. You can like your job and still be doing it because it pays a salary. The first step toward maximizing what you get from your job is asking yourself the following questions: Consider your answers to these questions. If you are reasonably satisfied with your work, great! If not, make sure you consider whether there are ways you can improve your current job. For instance, can you change or shorten your hours, shift your job description, or work for a different boss? If your current job is so miserable that you don’t think it could ever be reasonable, is it possible for you to find a better job?
