I work a lot! I teach at three different schools, day and evening, sometimes weekends, too. And marking, preparing and organizing in between everything. I host Airbnb guests, too. The world can come to me, because when should I have time to travel?
I don't do it to get rich, and I even think teaching is a calling. I love thinking that I serve the Lord when doing the things I love.
But I know I can't work like this when or if I ever get married. But has work become too important? Is that turning the future spouse away? For who wants a wife that is never at home? I think I wouldn't mind reducing my hours for a future spouse, but still... It would be a bit difficult to let go.
My question is to you: How much of your career are you willing to let go of to build a family or relationship? Should you already let go of some of that pride and careermindedness when still single?
