Women are taught to be independent
women, but not how to be wives and
mothers. And men are taught how to be
providers, but not how to be husbands
and fathers. Somewhere along the way,
it was supposed to just “click.” But we
didn’t realize that being successful in
school and a career require a completely
different set of skills than being in a
relationship. Here are a few tips to help
bridge the gap!
1. Your accolades at work and school
are self-serving. Being in a relationship
is about serving someone else.
2. Being the BOSS in your career doesn’t
make you the BOSS of your relationship,
and your MASTERS degree doesn’t make
you a
3. MASTER of your mate. Marriage is a
partnership not dictatorship.
4. The same amount of time & effort you
invest in your career must be invested
into your mate and family as well.
5. Your career won’t always be the
priority…. your mate and family need to
be as well, and may sometimes trump
that career.
6. Ladies even if you have to be hard and
aggressive and assertive at work, your
man needs you to be soft, nurturing and
supportive at home. Be his place of
peace not war.
7. Your successes in your career don’t
make up for your failures at home.
8. Your manager doesn’t live with you,
your supervisor doesn’t s*x you, and
your CEO doesn’t cook or clean for you….
so leave your frustration with them AT
WORK! Don’t take your anger out on
your mate.
Your children value your time way more
than your money.
9. The people at work love being with
you when you can do something for
them, the people at home just love being
with you period.
10. The same way you protect the
“brand” and image of your company…
you should protect the brand of your
family. Every decision you make
represents them as well.
The skills and mindset you used to
become successful in your education
and your career are great skills, but
when you decide to be in a relationship
or marriage you may just need to go
back to school. Having a Masters in
business won’t help you if you make F’s
in communication skills at home. Being a
CEO at your company won’t help you if
you have no training in compromise.
Making six figures wont help you if you
are bankrupt in the service of others
department. Being a leader in your
company won’t help if you can’t lead by
example in your household.
