As someone who is crazy about my family but also enjoys working hard to make a living, it’s easy to let work come before family.

I’ve touched on the topic of work/life balance before and provided tools and strategies to achieve the elusive goal of a balance between work and life.

But here's the kicker:

Tools and strategies are useless, unless you know what to look for.  You can’t repair a flat tire if you don’t know where the leak is.  In the same way, you can’t perform any corrective action regarding your work life balance if you don’t know what the baseline indicators are.

Thankfully, if you’re married and with kids like I am, there are 3 Indicators of a healthy family life…and they’re all built in to the family deal.
