Chances of marrying and having a profession simultaneously increase significantly throughout your lifetime.

If this describes you, this information could prove valuable.

Let’s take a moment and assess our current “Great Balancing Act.”

Here are a few scenarios to keep in mind:

1. Family Business with Both Spouses Actively Engaged

2. Family Business where One Spouse Is Engaged While the Other Is a Subtly Participant

3. One Spouse Actively Involved While Another Is Subtly Contributor

4. Both spouses hold salaried professional jobs unrelated to the family business.

5. At least one partner holds a salaried profession while the other pursues unsalaried activities.

Before diving deeper into this topic, we must establish some definitions:

Balance: Approach balance as an ongoing dynamic rather than as a static state, like skiing, bicycling, or cooking — something that requires constant adjustments and adaptation.
