I posted in the prayer request thread about a person who choose to take a job that required he be away from his family 28 days at a time. 28 days away and 28 days home.
How do you feel about your husband or wife taking such a job when he/she already had a good job and the new job offered no pay increase?

I can not imagine not seeing my wife every day. If it was necessary to support us, maybe, but not by choice.

It makes me wonder if something happened to him to where he needed to get away for a while or he may have been given a promise of growth with this other company. Also, his current job may not have been all that it was cracked up to be.

But to answer your question, i wouldn't want my spouse to accept any job without talking it over with me first because we both would be affected

in this day and age, families should stay as close together as they can,
it's becoming so 'un-safe', families need to support and guard one another
from the evils that are growing at such a rapid pace all around us...

Oh hubby already knows. I'm moving with him to his new job. lol

But if you think about it, soldiers do that all the time and for a lot more days than 28. And, guaranteed it's not for the hefty paycheck. Long-haul truck drivers have odd hours. Oil platform workers have odd hours. Even firefighters have weird hours. As long as the couple is okay with it, I don't see a problem with it.

Granted, when hubby and I married, he was an HVAC mechanic, so had to work nights and holidays sometimes. I wasn't so upset of his long hours. I was worried he wasn't getting enough rest. Apparently, God was too, so gave him off after two years by breaking his back. Never had another long-term overtime-shift job after that.
