New Edition Concert Schedule

When two people decide to blend their lives, compromise, compassion and respect are key factors in making the marriage or relationship work. Although two lives become one in a sense, individual likes, dislikes, habits, and idiosyncrasies of each still exist. Because of those differences, relationships need constant cultivation, no matter if it’s brand new or long term. Add different work schedules to the mix and everyday stressors can seem larger than they actually are. Strategies to keep the relationship strong become a top priority.

Take Advantage of Time Together

When two people have opposite work schedules, designate a specific day devoted entirely to each other. Go see a matinee. Grab a bottle of wine and picnic lunch and walk to the park or beach (or set one up in your living room or bedroom). Go exercise with your partner. Don’t answer the phone, shut off your cell phone, and go a day without answering email. This day is about finding interest in your partner’s life.
