In the simplest of understanding, working 7 days is Ok, as long as one does worship God on one of those days also. But there is far more to keeping the command than just having a butt in a pew for 1 hour. It means we study read and meditate on God's word, and take it to heart. It also means we put our trust in HIs word, confess our sins, confess our faith, sing his praises, receive the sacrament regularly and bring offerings also. There is far more to being a Christian than going through the motions.
"Mk 12:30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength
If someone is truly a Christian, he or she seeks to worship God with their whole life.
You need to do what is right for you and it is always between you and God. It doesn't make any difference what others think or do. The Sabbath is Saturday though and not Sunday. Have a blessed day.

Actually you are half right (bolded above). The Sabbath that God gave to Israel was from sundown Friday until sundown Saturday.
Not in my family, but I've seen it been done in other families. My strict Catholic father wouldn't even think of working on the Sabbath. I go to church occasionally.
I don't want to argue about the days. I would really like to know if working 7 days a week is breaking the commandment, is going to church on one of those 7 days enough to say it's not being broken.

It's a fixed day due to custom so that all that follow the commandments do it on the same day. In the days before electricity when did a day end? When there was no outside light to do any work. When later Christians changed its meaning, then at a minimum it should have been sunup to sunup.

Christians have no need to change the Sabbath (something they cannot do) for it is not for them.

The Sabbath was given to Man, meaning all humans, and just Israel. Have you not read Genesis? No need to argue this point because you will believe what you wish, but the fact is that the Sabbath is for all of us. You are misinterpreting the scriptures and not understanding the full context when you go around saying that the Sabbath was given only to Israel.
