With the exception of a very few of us, most people go to work not because they want to work, but because they need money. That is to say, if you ask people if they would prefer to have free time, they’d say yes in a heartbeat.

For me, if it’s a choice between “career” and family, I’ll go with family every time. I firmly believe it is better to live a lower standard of living in a loving family then it is to live in a higher standard of living in a distant family.

Although people need people, if you are very involved with your career where it becomes your 24 hour life, it is quite easy to not worry about relationships. Your career becomes your challenge, it is something you look forward to everyday.

As for love, if people don’t want it, sometimes they avoid the people that would offer it. I’ve done it and other people have done it. Of course, if you spend so much time with one person and love does occur, then obviously as stated, you have the time.

As for meeting someone when you get older, I have noticed a lot of women in their 30′s who are single and willing. Most of them either have had kids but are not in a relationship. Or the ones who are childless I find are not trying very hard to make a connection.

Hey,
… i find it hard to belive, that its a choice you make if you choose not to have love. If there is love – you dont choose it – it is just there. It is not like choosing muffins over pancake for breakfast, i find. but maybe it a cultural issue – im from Denmark.

It’s impossible to go through life without interacting with other people on a regular basis. And it’s also impossible to ever feel completely fulfilled without strong relationships. You can be the smartest, sexiest, and richest person in the history of the world. But without people to share that with, none of it will matter.

David, this is a struggle that affects many people. It is real. It is a matter of maturity and priorities and perspective. If someone knows that they can’t devote that time to someone because they are so involved in their career, then maybe they shouldn’t commit to a relationship. On the other hand, we can ask “Is a career really that important?”

I believe this post I wrote will help people determine if they can or should try to fit both into their lives:

Also, I’m doing a series of post now on wisdom that may help.

If you wait too long with love, there won’t be anyone left.

Not only that, if you’re planning on having a family, age is an issue. Women are progressively less fertile as they age.
