The powerful business leaders need to think about how much it will cost for them to deal with their real family problems and not the business. This advice is not intended to persuade to ignoring the business and spending the majority of the time at home and forgetting work, because that too will not be beneficial. Just put more time into being at home. Experiencing fun activities in the relationship makes the mate feel like he or she is included and there is a special bond. Being at home 10 or 20 minutes and then leaving does not. Plan to go on trips and spend time with your kids and spouse and embrace their suggestions and see if there's something able to be planned. Do not always expect the spouse to plan something whenever it's time for a vacation from work. Make plans and be in control of family gatherings and be happy. Relax on the vacation and enjoy and leave business work at work.

Make sure to attend church in the mist of all the business and family gatherings. Church relieves a lot of stress and going for the right reasons makes one earn every blessing coming from God. Believing, should get the business and relationship with the spouse and kids better and of course the relationship with God has to be better.

Businessmen may have a busy Monday through Friday and some Saturdays. However, they should not be so use to people planning their schedules, conferences and in between meetings, presentations, lunch and breakfast dates to the point of not planning dates with their spouses. It's okay to get off schedule and plan a special unscheduled event, because no one wants to come home everyday and have a big nice home and all the things money can buy and be miserable. It's not a good feeling to have everything you want and not what you need. That is something to think about, because a wise person once said, “You can want what you want and can't always get what you need.”

Businesswomen usually working all day and being in control should cook a Sunday meal on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Every little bit helps. Although it may be a lot easier to order or bring food, the energy it takes to prepare the food and smell it through the house and sit at the family table can enhance a relationship and actually make a husband come and enjoy coming home. What man wouldn't want to come and be at home and be happy when knowing he has a steak, baked potatoes, salad and a nice smoothie prepared for him. It's about taking time to take care of the important things and avoid having major problems in other areas. Don't just look good at work. Make sure to be good at home. A lot of people talk about doing right, but they are not right.
