The high tourism season is quickly approaching in Italy, which means my soon-to-be husband Antonio is working all hours of the day and night. Our usual webcam dates have been cut down from about 30 minutes to 10 if we're lucky. It's no problem because I am busy with various writing deadlines and a meeting in the city tomorrow. But sometimes I wonder if we're letting work get in the way of our relationship. I've seen too many couples split up because they let demanding careers take over the lives completely. I don't want to be one of those people.

Still, I want to do well in my career and find satisfaction and fulfillment from the work I do. To be successful, I need the support of my spouse. If I feel that he is doubtful or unhappy with the way things are going with my career or if he feels as though my career is interfering with our relationship, I won't be happy or successful. Even though I'm missing him like crazy during this hectic time for him, I want to give him my full support. It's only fair and it's the way to create a partnership and career that will last. If you'd like to do the same, here are some articles that will help you:
