The situation when spouses conduct a joint family business or are employed in the same enterprise, often confuses. Service romances between colleagues at work have always been perceived negatively, but what if the husband and wife work together? Will your marriage be stronger because you are inseparably literally the whole day, or vice versa, it will be a serious test for him? There is no unequivocal answer, although it is worth considering all the positive and negative sides.
Pros of the work with the spouse
So, in a highly competitive environment of modern office workers, husband and wife at work will always have a reliable rear, a colleague who will not try to survive, deceive, but on the contrary will support in a difficult situation and will not take away the long-awaited contract.
The family works together, as a single mechanism, where they understand and help each other. Thus, you will feel more confident in the labor collective, even if you are newcomers.
Since the family is one team, it is common in the team to share information, including information, and if it is properly disposed of, you can get a lot of benefits. At lunchtime, you can not only enjoy rest together, but also exchange information that ordinary colleagues often do not share. This may be news of a contract being prepared or about a future staff reduction. But even the usual information about when to give a salary or in what mood for this day the authorities can also be quite useful.
Problems of work together and ways to solve them
The problem may be that a married couple who keeps together and works together harmoniously can perceive as a single whole. If the spouse's successes begin to be attributed to the willows, then this is one thing, but what to do with the negative if the husband or wife committed a professional mistake. After all, all this will also have to be divided in half. And if a friendly spouse can not become your friends, then his detractors will surely try to recoup you. Such a state of affairs hinders in the work and detects psychological harmony. To avoid this, you need to show the team that you, though family, but still two separate self-sufficient personalities. Unlock in your close comfortable circle, and establish contacts with colleagues.
Many problems, if the couple work together, can bring the habit of people to discuss colleagues with enslavement. It is very unpleasant to listen to the gossip about her husband from evil languages in the workplace and even if the information is not true, it can vseravno be a real test of trust in each other.
But if you just can not pay attention to gossip, then the mistakes of a spouse, even small ones, in a close work collective are more difficult to ignore. And it's not just a spoiled mood. Psychologists say that people experience a sexual attraction to a successful partner, and as soon as their authority falls in our eyes, the desire may subside. Absolutely subconsciously, we, being in one workplace, begin to track the successes and defeats of our second half. And if a spouse has a career decline, it can reduce his sexual attractiveness and lead to some disagreement in the intimate life between husband and wife. On the other hand, spouses who act on one professional territory may get carried away too much, achieving success and then a fierce competition will erupt between them, which risks moving the professional life to the family one.
On the other hand, family life on the contrary can negatively affect the professional. If you are at loggerheads with your spouse, then at work hide your irritation and anger will be extremely difficult. It is not excluded that you will continue the mutual clarification of relations in the workplace or worse, you will annoy a friend. Such petty dirty tricks can not only spoil the mood, but lower the efficiency.
If the husband and wife work together, they risk "bringing the work home", that is, coming home, continue to think and discuss each other solely with matters at work.
To prevent such a negative impact of work on the atmosphere in your family, you should clearly distinguish between home and professional life. When the office doors close behind you, try to disconnect the "professional" in your head and stop looking at the man, whom you return home as a colleague who has not handed over another report to you. Talk to him on abstract topics - weather, politics, global warming, if only it does not concern work. Go to the store together and discuss joint plans for the evening. And even better - at least occasionally go homeprepared. Let you have a personal time to relax and communicate with friends separately. Not bad, if during the holidays you at least a couple of days will be at bay. After all, after a short break in communication, to return home together, the double is more pleasant.
