However one of the best things I do is remind myself of the following. Yes my husband is busy and sometimes works long hours however have to accept that this what he trained to do (medical) and I knew this right from the start. Additionally, I remind myself that I am so blessed/fortunate that my husband's priority is to spend time with God and study his word. As I think of the many women who attend Church and Bible Study without the presence or support of their spouse, I realise how fortunate I am. Does this make sense or am I babbling?

The best piece of advice I got on the subject as that the effort we (the traveller) put into our work away should not stop until at least a couple of days after we get back. ie: when we get home, sure we'll be exhausted and just want to chill and watch the cricket or whatever, but we can't do that as we need to put effort into picking up relationships again.<br /><br />Also - being away certainly has its ups and downs. I've discovered that travel is just really exhausting and it can get really wearing - both on me and the family.<br /><br />I have a one week trip to Cuba next month - so we'll see how all my theories work out!!Peter Shollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448629925434207122noreply@blogger.com
