The media recently reported
that most high income couples
only have one person
earning the income.
OFFICIALLY earning
the income.
Because, often,
high income earning jobs
require
two people.
Both people in the relationship
have to be committed to
and focused on
the job.
The unofficial role holder
socializes,
entertains
and networks in other ways.
They research situations.
They are a sounding board
for decisions.
They travel plan
and keep the schedules.
And they complete
thousands of ‘invisible’ tasks
necessary for the role.
NEVER discount
the significant other’s influence
or abilities.
Treat them
with the same respect
you would extend
to the decision makers.
