Relationships on Female First

Hayley Bystram, Director of Bowes-Lyon Partnership, says, “Many of our professional clients are ensconced in high-flying careers that demand a lot of their time, but a large number of them also manage to have successful relationships without sacrificing one element. Modern-day women are more determined than ever to reap the rewards of every area of their lives, not simply settling for being solely focused on their career, their friends or their relationship.”

The scret to having it all is to be matched with like-minded people. If you are a career minded woman then look for a career minded man who also wants to invest time in you as much as you do him. Professional dating agencies and elite introduction services can provide the type of men you are looking for, who believe in spending time with your partner as well as clocking in the hours at work.

One of the most common arguments is due to a lack of balance between the perspectives. If one is more career minded and the other puts more focus on the relationship, then this will end in disaster as there will never be merging point.

Being in a relationship with someone who has the same long term goals as you can sustain the relationship. Both have an understanding of the demands of a high pressure job, with long hours and unexpected commitments cropping up which all contribute to moving up the career ladder. However both people still understand that time out is necessary to nurture the relationship, by having holidays. Special occasions are also observed with the utmost importance and under no circumstances are missed.

Women are beginning to see that they can have both and that their roles can change depending on where they are. They can be a strong minded business women, or a loving partner depending on the demands of the moment. Having someone who acknowledges these shifts in roles is far better the someone who has no grasp of your future plans.
