These days, the 40-hour work week seems more and more like something from the distant past. Today, the average American puts in 47 hours of work each week, and many industries require their employees to work 12-hour days, including weekends. While many people prefer a work-life balance, some people are an exception. Workaholic employees, for example, are not only willing, but are more than happy to work grueling hours in the office. If you’re married to such a person, then you know the struggle of dealing with an “absentee” spouse. You’ve probably already lost count of the number of times your husband or wife failed to show up for a recital, game, birthday, and other important events in your family’s life. As an Orange County marriage counselor, I see this struggle often as couples attempt to keep up in an increasingly competitive market. But being competitive is different than an endless pursuit of “just a little bit more” that is the mantra of a workaholic.
