We can prevent tension arising out of conflicting career paths within our family by keeping an accommodative and receptive approach. We should put ourselves in the shoes of other family members to appreciate their career goals and schedules. With a non judgemental attitude, we may discuss family responsibilities to fine tune our roles and and accordingly judiciously use available time. In context of Indian Subcontinent, we should dispense with any tinge of patriarchy and the belief that women should primarily raise family. Traditional family roles should be modified to fulfill the professional yearnings of members. An ambience of catholicity and reciprocity may be created to stem any discord and to promote and realise members' ambitions.

As a wife, I don't subscribe to "Happy Wife, Happy Life"...but I do resonate with "Happy Spouse, Happy House".. Identifying the reasons there is tension is key.. Is it time away from home? Is it the hours? Is it rooted in how your partner is being treated? Everything can be discussed ...but there has to be an area of clarification of the root cause of the tension before preventing it. If taking the role only brings additional money, but all hell breaks loose from saying yes.. it may not be the right fit for your happy house. Be open minded, hear the reason, add a mediator in the mix, and meditate/pray on the best option for you.

Some ways to get sorted are mentioned below: Acknowledge Different Views: Recognize and respect family members' opinions, as each perspective stems from genuine care Share Your Aspirations: Clearly communicate your goals, passions, and vision. Showing commitment to your chosen path helps others understand its value. Highlight Career Viability: Research and present potential growth & fulfillment your chosen career can offer. Seek Common Ground: Identify aspects of your career that align with family values or expectations, bridging gaps for mutual understanding. Stay Patient and Open-Minded: Avoid heated responses, listen actively, and allow time for them to appreciate your choice. Best Wishes! Alok Gosalia
