6 LEAVE YOUR JOB AT THE FRONT DOOR

Your work identity isn’t the same as that of your husband or wife. One company owner told me, “I’ve got thousands of women who work for me. They all love me, so why can I get on with them, but not the one at home?”

I explained “the one at home” isn’t having her needs met. ⬛he doesn’t feel that what matters to her matters to you. ⬛he doesn’t want to be another employee – she wants her husband back.

It’s easy for men and women not to notice how their work identity can bring an energy that jars with their marital connection.

LESSON Many people have forgotten how to be a husband, a wife or a lover.

ACTION Check the identity you’re bringing home every day. Focus on bringing “partner” (fun, passion, support) and not “work” (authority, drive, expediency).
