Laura1318 agony auntIs your husband a workaholic?

I think your husband need to seek professional help . He needs to balance his career and family life.

Why does he has a preoccupation about money?

Money is not everything and it is no guarantee of happiness.

rcn agony auntFirst of all, I am Christian also. I know enough to understand God is not going to come down and tell him, now kiss your wife, take her to bed and/or provide additional instruction. God is there for everyone, but isn't there to live our lives for us. I think there is an unrealistic quite often around God and what He'll do. I don't think it works where our life goes wrong and we figure if we wait out the storm God will arrive and fix the damage for us.

I seek the Lord as well. I spend at least 2 hours a day in some form of biblical study. As a single parent, my studies don't allow me to wait for God to cook dinner for the kids, or take them to the park. Being a good parent, I may receive guidance, but I also have to make the choice too and choose to take care of them the way I do.

All though God is part of a bond in many marriages, that doesn't mean He creates the success in the marriage. That's up to you and your husband.

He needs to understand, he is not married to his job, or his kids, or the finances. But being strong in the marriage allows two people to compromise and come up with solutions to the problems instead of just one.

Marriage as a term doens't have the ability to succeed or fail, it's the people from within that create its success.

I think you should sit with him and tell him what you want. Demand to be treated the way you feel you need too. And do not accept excuses for why he's not doing that now.
