Good question. In my days, growing up, it was the man's duty, as the husband, to go out and work in order to provide for his family. The woman stayed at home to keep the house and look after the children. Nowadays, in these modern times, both parties are out hustling. In the Western society, mostly, the husband and wife hardly see each other because, sometimes, they are both working and when he is coming in (home), she is going out to her job. Most of the time, the kids are left with nannies or to fend for themselves. Everyone is out, chasing the elusive dollar, trying to make a comfortable life. But, in all this, they are sacrificing quality time with each other.

So, how do we solve all of this? Should we cut down on our hours of work with detriment to our pockets or should we continue in the "fast lane"? The choice is ours to make, it's a matter of priorities. Very often, there is the cry of the woman, to her husband, that he has no time for her. The man wants to make his family comfortable, so he kills himself with work. But is it worth it? Time together with family is a very precious commodity which helps in "bonding" with each other. Sometimes, only on week-ends can the family spend time with each other, but is that enough? Again, it's a matter of priorities. We have a saying, "You cannot want it in cake and bake." It's one or the other, either cut down on the work or cut down on the time. Have a great day.
