Doug discusses an email from a woman concerned that her husband works excessively and is pressuring her to take on full-time work as well. She worries this dynamic is harming their marriage and family life. Doug emphasizes the importance of being present for one’s spouse and children and making family a top priority.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Josephina - My husband and I are one of the couples who work a lot. I am comparing myself to the lady from the email but at the same time I am also a workaholic sometimes. (19:38)
Matt - I work 12-15 hours a day and I am in a courtship right now. I find that if you really love them that sacrifice shouldn’t take that much to make it happen. I want to also say that waiting till marriage is so worth it. (23:39)
Richard - My son wants to get married and the issue we come across is his girlfriend is Catholic but she is not practicing. (28:00)
Fernando - At what point is doing everything for her happiness not ok if I start suffering? (38:57)
Rex - I worked in oil and I was a workaholic. You are touching on a lot of issues I went through. If I could go back, I would spend more time with the family. (45:00)
