A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight. Proverbs 11:1
If we were to put your home life on one side of the scale and your work life on the other, would they be equal in weight? Most likely not. The key is to be able to balance each side, so you can function well on both sides. There are times in life where your home life will completely take over like when you have a newborn, and other times when your work life will have more of your attention, like when you are an empty nester. What you want to do is make sure that the balance between your work life and your home is where it needs to be for where you are right now and adjust as needed in the future. This is an individual experience, and many things factor into this decision. But if you are out of balance, you will suffer and those around you will too. Delight the LORD with balance in your life.
From Chapter 3--Balancing Life
