Hoy avanzamos a los a\u00f1os 11\u201320.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si tuviera que describir esta etapa en una sola palabra, ser\u00eda OCUPADOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Son los a\u00f1os en que la vida se siente llena en todas las direcciones. Los gastos alcanzan su punto m\u00e1s alto. Las actividades se multiplican. Para muchas parejas, los hijos ya son adolescentes con calendarios llenos de deportes, m\u00fasica, presentaciones y eventos \u2014 todos valiosos y todos costosos. Los padres comienzan a pensar seriamente en la universidad. Las exigencias laborales aumentan porque est\u00e1 tratando de proveer econ\u00f3micamente mientras quiere estar presente en casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si es mam\u00e1 que se queda en casa, puede sentirse como si cada problema llega a usted y necesita resolverse de inmediato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Durante estos a\u00f1os, el tiempo a solas con Arturo era escaso. Viv\u00edamos pas\u00e1ndonos responsabilidades:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLleva a este a la pr\u00e1ctica y yo llevo a aquella a la m\u00fasica.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cQu\u00e9date con los otros y yo lo llevo al b\u00e1squetbol.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cuando hab\u00eda un juego, presentaci\u00f3n o evento, todos asist\u00edamos. La cena muchas veces era algo r\u00e1pido antes de salir corriendo. Aparte tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1bamos muy involucrados en la iglesia. \u00c9ramos dos adultos muy cansados tratando de dar lo mejor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Esta etapa trae una presi\u00f3n enorme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Existe la presi\u00f3n interna de ser el padre o la madre perfecto\/a y el c\u00f3nyuge perfecto\/a. La presi\u00f3n externa de cumplir expectativas en el trabajo, en casa y en las relaciones. Discutimos porque no estamos de acuerdo en c\u00f3mo guiar a nuestros hijos. Nos sentimos poco valorados porque parece que nadie trabaja m\u00e1s duro que nosotros. A veces somos demasiado duros con nuestros hijos cuando, en realidad, estamos preocupados por su futuro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si est\u00e1 en esta etapa \u2014 tenga hijos o no \u2014 dese gracia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sea amable consigo misma\/o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dele gracia a su pareja tambi\u00e9n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ambos desean lo mismo: una vida feliz, un futuro s\u00f3lido y decisiones sabias. Simplemente tienen maneras diferentes de llegar all\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crea lo mejor el uno del otro. Hagan un plan juntos. Cuanto menos espere, estar\u00e1n entrando a la siguiente etapa y esta temporada ser\u00e1 un recuerdo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As\u00ed que haga que sea un buen recuerdo.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I began sharing what 40 years of marriage has looked like for us, one decade at a time.
