The moment we hear of career management tips for newly weds, it is the female counterpart that first comes to our mind. It’s a known fact that we need a good career for financial security and a good married life for emotional and social security.Therefore career and marriage, both are equally important for a good life. Importance of none of the two can be ignored. In a marriage where you are committed to spend a whole lifetime with your partner, you need to understand each other well.This understanding will develop in a couple only if they spend quality time together, especially at the initial stages of their marriage. But at the same time,in today’s competitive world, your career also needs long hours of your day. In such a situation, the only option left with us is to manage things well.

Now the question is how to make a good balance between your career and the beginning of your lifelong venture i.e. marriage! Since both needs a pretty good amount of your time for a better tomorrow;this management is not that easy. The first thing that will help you is spending quality time with your spouse. It does not refer to a huge amount of your time but whatever time you are left with, that should be spent with your spouse in making a healthy base for your further life. You should be clear to your spouse about what future goals are there in your mind that takes most of your time at your workplace. You should share with your partner how your work will benefit them as a couple. This is important because one should know about the future benefits for which you compromise with your valuable present. The human psychology working here is that everyone likes the feeling of ‘BEING CARED’. So a newly wed couple should spend time in sharing and caring.

Another important thing is to cooperate your spouse in every walk of life. It is quite natural that expectations grow when you are close in a relationship. But remember not to be much demanding. In many cases an interfering family has been held responsible for worsening the relationship between a newly wed couple. As a spouse, you should give space to your partner’s career. Without this cooperation, only the either one will survive;career or marriage. And your spouse may lifelong nurture that he or she, specifically she, did not receive a word of comfort when she needed that most. Being empathetic will help you most. Otherwise,it will be too late when you understand where you lagged behind.
You should remember that many interruptions will come the way to your female counterpart’s career. Childbirth is one such inevitable break in a female’s career.
There are several points at which you may need your partner’s cooperation; like, in household, with work schedules etc.

Always remember that there may come many genuine causes that may put your career at the backseat after your marriage. Only your strong determination towards career will give you strength. You should not forget that it has taken long years to achieve a career of your choice, so it should not be a quick and foolish decision to give it up. With little bit of understanding and effort, you can make a nice balance between your career and your marriage.

Pooja, once you get married, you become responsible, not only for yourself but for all of the new family. It gets very difficult at times to manage shows well both at career level and marriage. SO I personallhy feel, its better to stick to one and do full jsutice to it rather than trying to juggle between things and getting no where.
There are successful women who have reached a good height career wise, but when it comes to family , I’m sure most of them will regret not having able to spend much time with loved ones because of work.

I don’t mean any of this Sharmila. It is my personla opinion. For any successful man or woman, there has to be some sort of a support, if you get that support after marriage, you can continue working, or else,who do you expect would take care of your aging Parents in law and then your children... You wouldn’t like them to go to old age homes or cruch!!!

As much as it is a woman’s responsibility to take care of parents and kids, it is also the man’s. you haven’t said this but i guess when a man can work and earn, he can also take care of parents and kids...its just about time management and balancing your personal and professional life. How much ever time you spend with your family, face it, no one would want you around if you din’t have money.

You are true to an extent.Although I had none of these views until married, but marriage has changed my ideology. Marriage is like a balance. Both man and woman have equal responsibilites but circumsatnces become such that it gets difficult for woman to handle all things. Our society is such that women are expected to be multitaskers. And in keeping up all the expectatitons it gets difficult to continue on work.
Actually, woman’s job is always undermined. To handle a household, is the most diffcult and most thank less job in the world. It requires management skilss just as any organisation. But yes, the money part is missing!!
