15 Advantages of Love at Work & 19 Traits to Look For in a Potential Husband
Did you know that many executive and professional women either marry colleagues or remain single? You too can find love at work and have your career and your husband too. This is not just about colleagues. Look beyond to your clients, even your suppliers says Margaret Kent and Robert Feinschreiher, authors of ‘Love at Work’. The divorce rate they say is likely to decline as more marriages happen at work because there is a close bond between people who work together. That’s because you can understand the pressures your mate goes through, you can solve work-related problems together. You can help each other in ways not possible in a conventional relationship.
