Her love and support were crucial when, early in our marriage, I was laid off. Morose and depressed, doubting myself and looking at the bleak job landscape, I hid away in books and games. My wife had come into our marriage with a year’s supply of preserved food and camping gear we could have lived out of. But more importantly, she literally kicked my butt and said I had to do something, even if it was wrong. Seeing my interest in computers, she got me to apply for an entry level tech support position. I was hired and in the first day, got a 20% raise. My career has grown by leaps and bounds ever since. At a time when I was doubting myself, she never did. Her faith in my skills and knowledge and her trust that I could be successful made the transformation of our life a reality and there is no way I can ever thank her enough for helping make it possible.

I married a guy I met online and only knew in person for 2 weeks, to get out of a dead-end job in a dead-end city. The decision turned out be be a good one. Having the flexibility to switch jobs has more than doubled my income over the three years of our marriage and given him the freedom to start a business at home. I think of my marriage as, among other things, a very profitable financial alliance. Marriage has helped my career and my husband’s.

I too, am lucky enough to have one of those marriages/partners in life that has enabled me to do so much more than I could have alone. In fact, getting married and having children actually HELPED my career. If there's an address to send you a book, I've got one I'd love you to read...:) Hi Dorie,

Just read this post on marriage and can relate 100%. I too, am lucky enough to have one of those marriages/partners in life that has enabled me to do so much more than I could have alone. In fact, getting married and having children actually HELPED my career.

If there’s an address to send you a book, I’ve got one I’d love you to read…:)
