How can I find a balance between work and family?

1 of 10 Ways to Survive: Maintain Work Boundaries

In the October 2001 issue of Journal of Marriage and Family Therapy an article was published on balancing work and family. Ten ideas were given on how to create a healthy balance. The fourth strategy was to maintain work boundaries.

Maintaining work boundaries is critical. Couples' sense of family as the highest priority in their lives was critical in decisions about the level of effort to expend at work and what job would best support this priority. Many couples made a commitment to maintain control over work, not allowing their careers to dictate the pace of their everyday lives.
