Tomorrow I celebrate my 45th wedding anniversary. There is no leadership challenge that I have faced in corporate life that is as challenging as being the best husband I can be in my marriage. I have found that when I am leading well at home, work is a piece of cake in comparison. We hear a lot about taking work home today but the even greater truth is we take home to work. Mark Merrill has some great practical advice:
“I’m grateful for my 25 years of marriage to Susan, but I can tell you that we’ve had our struggles and we have both had to work hard at having a meaningful, joyful marriage. There are so many things that can pull a marriage apart these days.”
