Wow. For the Married Business People

**jandmsolution** · 04-06-2007 12:08 AM

Hey everyone.

My life in the last few weeks have become stressful. Trust me i can take stress no problem. I am planning a real estate investment company, video editing company, and a medical marketing firm. I have left the online business world to the offline world. I am also getting married on June 16, 2007. Just for the last few weeks i havent been able to focus on what i really need to do. Business. What do you married people do to organize the married life, work and the business life. I know i can stay up late and get the work done than but I did that before and had major medical problems and I am only 21.

Want only posts from married members. Thanks.

On a side note - I am surprised you didn't wait until July 7th of this year since that seems to be the busiest wedding day.

Managing can be difficult - but if your partner understands, that will really help. Pick at least one day where you have your thing to do together. It can be something as simple as going out to dinner and / or a movie. Don't let anything interfere with that.

Keep the communication going as well. If she expects you to be home at a certain time and you know you cannot, call. Be respectful - you never know what she might have in plan.

If you've been together as long as you should have been before getting married, she undoubtedly knows who you are by now and realizes that entrepreneurship is just a part of who you are. If it's the right one, she'll be down for it - if not, you'll be at the court house in a years time unwinding the deal. Good luck

Maybe you two should become Business partners and start up a company of some sort.

What I usually do is work on things when my husband is asleep. or you could rent a mini suite for a few hundred a month to not mix home and office life!!!

Know when it's work and play time, understand when to call it a day and relax and have some fun!

IMHO 21 is too young to be getting married and if you are "planning" all those businesses on top of getting hitched you may well be doing too much. I also got married recently, my wife has a clothes shop, I have my website, and we both have stressful jobs. On top of all that I am in the process of moving to China and she can't follow me until the end of May.

In terms of how we cope, we both put the other person first, and spend a lot of time talking. I bought a blackberry yesterday so that she can message me from her job, and no-one else has the number. I focus on making her feel special and loved, and she does the same for me.

The other big sacrifice I have made since getting hitched is that I get up at 6a.m. everyday to run my website and then wake her when it is time for her to get up. This has 2 benefits, firstly that I get my evenings with her, even if they end up being spent at the shop. Secondly she loves being woken up with a kiss and cuddle.

If its meant to work you will already have found your strategies. I wish you both luck and hope you find a way to balance everything. Remember that given a choice of dropping one business or her, you shouldn't even have the thought!!!
