Keeping the Home Fires Burning
As my wedding day fast approaches, I have a question for all you married (or those with Significant Others) folks out there....
How do you keep your spouse involved and excited about your career choice?
My fiance is COMPLETELY behind my pursuit of aviation as a career. We've talked at length of the pros (my happiness/job satisfaction) and cons (my being away from home for days at a time....once I reach my goal) of the aviation industry. I've heard that getting your spouse involved in some respect is important. I know that Doug's mate, Kristie has developed a site for families of airline pilots, so that's one route. I've also heard of the "Pinch Hitter" program, which is another. Outside of that....what is a way to keep things smooth on the home front.
Keep in mind - I start my training two weeks after we get back from our Honeymoon. She's as excited as I am about it. I just want to keep it that way.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
