[QUOTE="upsdude, post: 284400, member: 2033"] My parents were married 64 years when my father passed away. They were 16 and 17 years of age when they said the “I Do’s”. Dad worked 6 and 7 days a week until he retired. His last 20 working years included a lot of 16-18 hour days, way more hours than I’ll ever put in at UPS. Mom always supported Dad in his work and made sure the homestead was under control. Friends and family always commented that after all those years, they still acted like they were teenagers in love. I’m very fortunate that my wife has zero issues with my working hours. During the month of December she will not ask me to do anything that can’t wait until peak is over. My father in law is retired military, he spent months and years away from his family. So me working a 10-12 hour day isn’t anything my wife can’t handle. I’m sure a spouses job could have a negative impact on a marriage, maybe leading to a divorce. I suspect however that the job is just a quick excuse in most cases. [/QUOTE]
