Finding Quality Time While Working Different Shifts

There are hundreds of couples that work different shifts and still manage to keep their relationships strong.

Many couples start a relationship knowing the different schedules and working shifts that their partner works and still find time to have children, attend family functions, and save quality time for themselves.

Tips to find quality time when working different shifts:

• travel to their work place and have dinner or lunch together
• create a family day and stick to it no matter what comes up
• try and get at least one day off during the week together
• spend 20 minutes during shift change talking about the day ahead
• greet each other with a smile no matter how much time you may have together
• schedule vacations and personal days off together
• flirt with each other during your time together, that way you can leave a lasting impression as you leave for the day
