1. Keep a flexible schedule

You may not be able to work less, but you probably have time to take a few items off your spouse's to-do list. Brad Dresbach, co-founder of the Columbus branding and marketing firm 42Fish, tackles such daily errands for his family as picking up birthday cakes -- relieving stress for his wife, Danielle, who has a much more inflexible corporate job.

1． 实行弹性工作制

工作量也许无法减少，但替妻子分担几项家务活的时间或许还是有的。哥伦布品牌与营销公司42Fish的合伙创始人布雷德•德雷斯巴奇就就是这么做的。妻子丹妮尔在一家公司上班，工作时间没那么灵活，布雷德就承担起取生日蛋糕之类的家务事。这样一来，丹妮尔的压力就可以得到一些缓解了。
