I like to think of myself as both a “family man” and a valued member of the workforce. Over the years I think I have found a successful work-life balance. As a husband and father, I was very involved with my family. We went on vacations together, I attended most of my son’s soccer games and gymnastic meets.

I taught at Sunday School, volunteered in youth programs, went to daddy-daughter dances. I went on date nights, escaped for a few weekend getaways with my wife. I pitched in with the housework, mowed the lawn, put up fences and did what I could to be the best husband and father to my family.

Did you have a fight with your boyfriend? Did you drink and drive? On and on I went. She kept saying… no. no. no. She even laughed a couple times. Turns out what she was so upset about wasn’t that big a deal when put in perspective.
