Ep. 197 - Why Business Is Easier Than Marriage

Thriving in Tandem: The podcast for married entrepreneurs

Is it just me, or is building a business easier than growing your marriage? Let’s put it this way: Are you more inclined to attend a business seminar or a marriage workshop? Would you rather see a marriage counselor or hire a business consultant?

For some reason, many of us prefer to work on our business rather than our marriage, so it’s no wonder that many married entrepreneurs struggle with work-life balance. Entrepreneurs tend to give unequal attention to their business and their marriage. In this episode, we tackle the "why" and share our experiences in becoming more comfortable working on our marriage while building a business.
