If there is a home business, again you just have to negotiate within the couple and have to set a little more strict time and space boundaries, so that one does not get in the way. A person who is working may really just want to be focused on that as if they're in a real work environment and the other person feels they are accessible. That ends up in a conflict a lot of times. A lot of these things are again how you negotiate, how you communicate about your feelings, how you set some limits that can be respected and what does each person want and that being clearly said. Sometimes people are not clear about their basic needs. Let's say there is a husband working at home and the wife is there and she starts interrupting a lot. Well, does she really need to interrupt there or is she feeling that she is just not getting enough time during the day. If that's addressed, then the couples go out in the evening and that satisfies the desire for connection there. If it is being dealt with somewhere else, it's not continuously being dealt with during the day. Work just really draws so much out of us sometimes, and couples need to really see a weekend as a time together or vacations as time together so there is something to look forward to instead of just work.
