Time Management

[dtaleton88]

How do you manage your time between work, home, and school? My fiancé and I seem to be in different spaces right now. I am here is Alabama and she is in Georgia we're both in school and trying to get finished in the most efficient way. I'm getting ready to start apply to nursing schools while she is trying to figure out the best school to facilitate her love of Spanish culture and education. I am focused on school and how to pay for a wedding after nursing school and she seems to be lost. I don't know what to do but my main objective is to complete nursing school and have a wife at the end of this long journey. Everyone keeps saying how stressful nursing school is on every part of your life and that you're basically married to the books, labs and clinicals. No posts that I have read say how to deal with the drama. Talking is only leading to fighting and ultimatums I can't afford for my grades to fall ever program is super competitive and I'm looking for the best program to get into without spending an arm, leg and thigh lol.

Good day:

Is it possible to put off any wedding / marriage plans until after both of you have graduated, and both of you have a job in the fields for which you are both going to school?

Thank you.

The best advice is to live in the now. Don't worry about the future too much as far as your relationship is concerned. I hate to throw this at you but if it's meant to be you two will find a way to make it work despite stressors outside of your relationship. Its smart you're waiting to get married until after you've graduated. My fiancee and I made the same descision. Something just didnt sit right when I tried to imagine writing careplans and seating charts at the same time!
