You're right, when the kids are young, it's difficult to spend a prolonged period of time away from them. However it is important for me to nurture my relationship with my wife and my kids. It's easy to focus on the latter at the expense of the former. I struggle to get the right balance every day. It is great to treat your partner like the special person they are. Without the love for my wife there would be no kids! It's easy to forget that in the hustle of everyday life... but I try my best not to.
