Anyways, thanks for your interest. I am 30 years old have a wife and two kids, make almost 7 figures a year and have numerous investments. I have a PhD with postgrad work.I am part owner and executive in a flourishing drug company that is pretty much self sufficient, I am basically there just to go through the motions and dont really do much there anymore but I somehow find myself working from 7am to 6pm, I see my kids on the weekend and at night but usually we are shuttling them too and from activities which they have a packed schedule, my wife of 12 years and I still have a decent relationship but at times we seem to be growing apart. Lately I feel that my life lacks purpose and direction. Which is odd for me because I am always focused and driven. I was wondering what other peoples takes on this are and any simple advice besides dont work so much.

Is there anything fun in your life. Do you have something from you past that you used to enjoy doing that you have given up since you had kids married and a very long day of work. Find something for you. I am sorry thats not allot best that I have. Good luck to you.

Maybe you shoulds try a marriage seminar or workshop.People who keep their marriage going good work very hard at it. Anything that gets you and your wife talking more will be beneficial. Kinda also sounds like your comeing off of being a workaholic. That will end up being a good thing for your kids; might end up getting to knot them better too. I'm a parent of teenager (four step girls off to college or on their own) and as far as activities go one at a time is enough. I cant count how many of my friends came to the same conclusion that their kids were in to many of these strucured activities at one time and how it takes away from haveing a real and meaningfull family life...for everyone involved.

Well, at least you don't have to worry about the financial part. Most people head toward disasters and they don't have much in their bank accounts.
You need to take sometimes - at least one day of the week - make it a real date with your wife. You need to rekindle that relationship before it goes sour. You don't want to see divorce hitting you in the face without warning. As for the children, you should have a family night - one night a week or every other week. What brings you together? What did you enjoy doing before you were in this situation?
If you want to keep this family together, you need to invest this time with your family.
I'm not sure if you're a "faith" person. I can testify that only God can fulfill that empty feeling. I speak from experience.
God bless!

Sounds to me like you've just got yourself stuck in a very high-paying dead-end job. You lack direction because there is nowhere left to go, correct? You need to find a new goal, and that does not necessarily mean working less - such is for you to decide.
