Many major life transitions, such as career transitions, can
be very stressful, and the stress often affects a marriage in a negative way.
This is especially true in today’s economy, when many career transitions are
not voluntary. A layoff, demotion, or forced early retirement can result in
financial and self-confidence problems. Often couples who are happy with their
routines are forced to spend more time together, which is not a positive thing
for many couples.
According to experts there are many reasons that a career
shift can lead to divorce, including one spouse not being able to handle the
insecurity of a job change, one spouse turning to destructive behavior in the
wake of a career problem, spouses not being able to cope with changing roles in
the relationship, and one spouse not being able to handle seeing the other
spouse struggling. The end of a career
can also signal to many couples the time to reassess the relationship.
However, career transitions don’t always have to mean a
divorce. There are steps couples can take to help their relationships withstand
the stress of a job change. First, more communication is always better than
less. Discuss your financial fears and review the family budget. Also talk
about your fears and your hopes for the future. Be careful not to overreact to
your spouse’s behavior during this difficult time – career transitions
naturally lead to anxiety and stress.
