Newlywed balance for women:
First things first — that’s the best way to balance family and work. And that means putting yourself first. Bet you didn’t expect to hear that!
Take care of yourself so that you can be a good partner.
The next thing you have to do is put your relationship with your spouse second. This can be difficult because it is new. Work on it.
– Notice where you’re uncomfortable, and allow yourself the discomfort, but also figure out how you might want to change your values so that your new marriage comes before work, friends or extended family. If your marriage isn’t strong everything else falls apart.
– Don’t let in-laws get between you and your new bride or groom.
– Work on compromises when he has to work late or she has to work late. Equality does not exist, but deal making and compromising and keeping priorities straight does!
– If you bring children to the marriage, they will have to adjust to the fact that you are putting their new step parent ahead of them. This is a huge transition for blended families. Don’t expect to look like the Brady Bunch the first year or even the second or the third year. Blending takes time, but if you keep these priorities straight, you’ll do fine.
