Striking a Balance

i just chatted to my ex-PwC manager on msn and he told me to not make a decision to leave audit so soon as he thinks I am a capable worker. That I should remember that I am an individual apart from being someone's wife, and to consider if this is the most i can do. It kind of got me thinking. Will I be able to strike a balance working on a job i can relate to, yet be a supportive and understanding wife and a good mum (in the future) at the same time?
