How do women balance family and job?
Truth to be told, I’m also trying to figure out the same. But I’ll share all that I’ve learnt in the course of doing it for over 1 and 1/2 years.
Whether you like it or not, you will need to prioritize, family or work. It’s a bitter truth and those who say that they excel both without stress, are lying. If you are an ambitious person at your job, then your family will miss you, and if you prioritize your family, then you’ll have to be satisfied in the job, knowing that you might not be able to achieve the elusive “success”. I choose family, I work all day, and I absolutely do not work on weekends, vacations and holidays (until it is the matter of losing or keeping the job). I love my work, and I feel great while spending 5 days of the week with it, but i love my family too, i give all mornings and evenings and weekends to them.
Working hard is the key. Before I go for swimming at 6 a.m., I get up early in the mornings to put one load of dirty clothes in the washing machine, so that I don’t have extra house work in the weekends and I can relax with my husband.
I have maids to help me out with my chores, I don’t monitor closely, but I train them regularly so that they can work independently and work right.
Spending time on relationship is necessary, so, I take out time every night to talk to my husband, before going to sleep, just half an hour every night, like finish everything by 10:30 p.m. and go to bed, spend time talking till 11 p.m., 10 minutes more or less, and then go to sleep.
Pray together. I do it at nights, you can do it in the mornings, as it suits you. It creates a lot of positive energy around you both, becomes that one thing where you and your husband has common goal, every single day, no disagreements.
Sounds perfect? It isn’t. Despite of all this, we occasionally get into fights, sometimes drift apart for a couple of days, and come around again. But that’s how it works. We love each other deeply, but not having enough to say does this to us sometimes. I’m the talkative one, he is the silent one, then i start feeling lonely, we fight. If you and your husband both are talkative, then you can avoid this too. But each couple is unique, and have their share of congeniality and differences, just remember to enjoy all of these, don’t wait for something extraordinary to happen. Because, this is all it is, THIS IS YOUR LIFE.
Mostly, we don't.
"Balance" is an illusion, a myth created to give women yet another thing to feel guilty about. It's really just perfectionism dressed up in new clothes and sneakily seated at the dining room table--where no one is seated anyway, because they're all eating cold cereal in front of the TV.
I repeat: balance is an illusion. You prioritize, and you sacrifice. You spend one week with dirty hair and a sink full of dishes while you complete a big project at work, skip lunch to attend a parent-teacher conference, and eventually rush home to spend a half hour of "quality time" with the
As a person with bipolar disorder, balance for me is a state of mind I wave at on my way from one emotional extreme to the other…..
Get out a pen and a tablet of paper, and every night take time to consider the following day.
Meditation in the morning, your hours of work, time for play with friends and family, exercise, meals, meditation and planning the next day.
To the best of your ability stick to the plan without getting wrapped around your own axle if you don't succeed. Rethink your day while planning the next one, and do God's sake let life happen without trying to fix everything.

Multitask. That's why they are women whi always feel stressed out.
Leave work at work. Schedule family only time and work only time. Best advice I can give. You only get one chance to watch your children, wife, pets grow old. Make it count. Is that one extra hour of work really worth missing your child's first soccer goal, your child's recital, your child's etc…
It’s great to know about your desire to mange your marriage and career. Honestly, I feel that problem arises when the work related stuff invades the marriage. So if one can plan well to complete all their tasks during work hours. And, make it a point to ensure their time for their family is not infiltrated. I think they can manage. I try the same, although I fail sometimes.
Assuming you’re talking about a family with a wife and kids, my answer is: communication
I think the most important part of keeping balance is that when there is an imbalance, it is communicated with your partner. I think my wife is particularly very understanding when it comes to my work since I am the breadwinner. So if I work late, she doesn’t say anything, but I do acknowledge that I am home later than expected.
Make it a point to help.
Especially with our first child, I prioritized a lot of my time with my wife and child. I stopped gaming for the period of my life. I know a friend who has ju
You need to maintain a balance between the two. Sometimes work will take priority and other times marriage or family. The most important thing is though to marry someone who understands and respects your career aspirations. Then only you can have a stress free work and family life. There is no other option to this.
Find the Balance
I have often struggled with this. I wanted to be the best mom, wife, and teacher I could be. I would give 150% at work and try to do the same, but in the end my family suffered. I learned very quickly that there has to be a balance. I give it all when I’m at work, then walk away. I get home and give my all and try not to think about or talk about work. Nope, it’s not easy, but it’s worth it. By doing this, I’ve found so much more peace within my life. I pray more, read more, and am generally happier.

so many demands on our time, it’s hard to be everything to everyone. You may be juggling a number of roles and goals in your life. You want to be successful at work, enjoy a healthy couple relationship, be an involved parent. You may have goals of furthering your education, maintaining a home, contributing to your community, keeping to a fitness regimen, saving for early retirement. Further, you may be juggling extended family issues, like caring for aging parents or dealing with an illness in the family. All of these things take your time and energy and often run into conflict with each other. As there are only 24 hours in a day, you may have to think about your values and set some priorities based on those values. For example, if “being an involved parent” is a priority for you – setting aside time each night to play with your children might take priority over working those over-time hours in order to finance a bigger home

How do I balance spiritual and family life?
Om Shanti!
The way one balances other things in life, similarly one can balance spirituality also. It's not difficult.
Spirituality means to imbibe virtues from God in remembrance of God. You don't need to do any rituals for that. Just give an hour or half and give this time to God who is our father. We all give time to our friends and family but we forget God who is our real father. Everyday in morning sit silently and talk to god, feel his presence and love.You can make him your companion and take all the powers and virtues from him. And never do such things that is wrong according to God. That's all what spirituality means.

It can be difficult to balance both family and spiritual life, but it is possible.
First, set aside time each day to dedicate to spiritual practice. This could be reading scriptures, meditating, or praying.
Second, make sure to spend quality time with your family. This could be going on walks, playing board games, or having dinner together.
Third, try to find ways to incorporate spiritual practice into your family life. For example, you could pray before meals, read scriptures together, or have a family meditation session.
Finally, make sure to take time for yourself. This could be reading a book, taking a bath, or going for a walk.
