About This Quote

I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career. Most people would say that it's impossible to have a successful relationship and a successful career, but I think it's possible because most people look at the situation from too narrow a perspective. They do not take into account the sacrifices men have to make just to earn a living. When you're in a relationship, you're not thinking about what your partner does for a living or even what he likes to do for fun, but instead you're looking for ways to make life easier for him. In my opinion, there are two issues that tie together marriage and career: love and money.
