BEING A GREAT CAREER WOMAN AND A REPONSIBLE WIFE

A woman with a career is worthy of attention. Juggling between a career woman and creating that successful married home is not easy. For a HAPPY HOME and HAPPY CAREER, equal attention must emanate.

Either your career will go down the drain before your own eyes or you will  lose your  beautiful marriage because you  have placed too much focus on building only  your career and not  your matrimonial home and vice versa.

Any married woman who runs her own business or does a corporate work is undisputedly a super woman because it is very challenging. Keeping a home and having to go out there and work too.

Don’t mess up your marriage because of your job and don’t also  quit  your job because of the marriage. Make sure you balance both to achieve a maximum satisfaction.

Be that career woman and still rock your husband’s world and your matrimonial home like nobody’s business.

Any one with experience will attest to the fact that, it is very difficult and stressful combining  these two.

That not withstanding, i find it very interesting and serious anytime I hear some men say a married woman’s place of work is keeping the home. She’s not in anyway supposed to go out there and work to build her self too.

Woman, your role is not to just stay home.
Give birth, baby sit and nanny till thy Kingdom come or clean and cook all day. And satisfy your husband in bed at night. Ah! Don’t allow any one to limit your self worth to just these.

We shouldn’t allow those chauvinist to define our self worth and value.

A Today’s woman should  add some significant substance to her life. If you are  asked  to marry at an early stage,  pause and take a deep breath and tell whoever SAYETH  that YOU  want to further YOUR education, learn a trade/ skill  before YOU MARRY.

Marriage adds some value to you  as a woman but marriage is not the only VALUE you can achieve as a woman. In Islam, when you marry, you complete  part of your DEEN. So it’s only morally right you marry at a point in time but don’t marry to loose your self and your worth.

Turn  you  hobby into a skill and so even if you are made  a house wife, you  will not have to only sit at home all day cooking and cleaning but can schedule your  time to pursue your dream.

When the pressure from home and work is becoming too much,  quitting shouldn’t be the only option. Take a chill pill, sit and re organise yourself. Make sure you able to satisfy your matrimonial  and job needs regardless the challenges. Find the balance and work at it.

A lot comes  to play being a wife, mother, family and career woman. The expectations of being responsible in all related areas is very crucial.

Much as excellent delivery  is expected of you by your employer  to achieve good results for every given task, same amount of result is expected of you in the family/ marriage circle.

The pressure of satisfying both sometimes becomes difficult  than you can imagine. But once you find yourself in it, do whatever it takes to balance both so you don’t  wake up one day and feel all slapped in the face by losing both.

On a daily basis, great men and women of higher heights, married and single continuously strive  hard to achieve more. One would think, after all the successes  they have accomplished they will just stop and enjoy the fruits but NO!

A way to achieving greatness is long and the table of greatness is a tall list. It’s unending and so in reaching it you got to work hard at it.

I don’t see myself sitting at home all day and watching my husband go in an out hustling  alone for our family needs. I have come to understand that, family responsible is not only a the father or husband’s job. Your husband is his parents son as you are your parents daughter. Both of you have got blood running through you and so what is good for the gander is good for the goose.

Trust me, personally if my husband is the richest man I still think I will  want to go out there and work for my own personal growth and personal achievement. His achievement is not my achievement. We have to achieve together to create a better future for our kids and make our world blossom.

My dear married women, let’s endeavour to aim big. Be  boss ladies. We should be able to afford the things men would expect that we come to them for.

Before  marriage or after marriage, we shouldn’t at any point  try on compromising  our self worth and aspirations.

Traditionally, men are supposed to be the heads of home. But they should give us a break, tell that man to empower you. Tell him to help you achieve greatness.  He has to see you excel in your area of endeavour to compliment him.

Todays married woman must be empowered. We must be proud to take up some financial responsibilities.
Be a career woman.
Be a goal getter.
Be an achiever.
Go out there and shine.
Willingly support  your husband but don’t allow him take advantage of you.
