I attended a Christian Women's Bible School for a short course on family relations a whie back and one thing that was discussed at length by the women was that men don't seem to have goals for the family like women do or if they do, they don't discuss these goals with them. If this is true in most cases? Do you think your wife feels you don't discuss things with her as much as she would like regarding long range goals and plans for the family? Just curious.

Sounds ridiculous to me, like most religious nonsense. You can't have goals for a family. What would they be? "In five years' time we will own a five bedroomed house in Cheadle Hulme, own a Rolls Royce and a Bentley, run our own bespoke lingerie business and have two children of our own at Eton or Roedean and one adoptive baby from Romania in Gasworks Comprehensive." Families aren't that sort of organisation. I can't imagine anything that could make family relationships worse, except I suppose hitting each other with the saucepans.

Yes my wife and i dicuss everything you can think of. However some men that i know just are that way,they dont talk about alot of the bizz part of life with there spouse,but its not the end of the world. Women tend to not talk maybe if sometimes you all did start talking about things of that nature you might be suprised how open your hubby is, dont set back talking to your lady friends about why your hubbys dont do these things for it puts a negative thought about him and when you go home we men feel that ect. So lets try and Start the conversation sometimes ladies....You can have goals but we all know how life goes--u cant plan it-predict it -you just have to live it...

We form a family to make it possible to have goals for everybody in the family. Among what is discussed over and over again is to find out what is of interest at any time, how to finance it - the first expressed goal may often/always change, everybody are developing, income and expenses change, you may have to loan money to make goals possible.
This work is may be the most valuable in family life - and creates greater values.on longer sight.

May I ask how old you are and how old he is, since he has 2 kids in college and you're worried about being immature? It's pretty clear that he's staying with his family; if he hasn't filed OR separated, then that is the ONLY ANSWER. Get a new, unattached bf who will spend Easter (the holiest of christian holidays, by the way, so why spend it so immorally with a married man?) with you. You deserve better. Yeah, you're attached-- but look at it through our impartial, 3rd party eyes. You'll be better off.

Do something more constructive with your time. You cannot control the world and trying to set goals for others is part of a control attempt. I raised six daughters and speak with much expensive experience; do something easier like breeding porcupines.
