Self discipline is when your conscience tells you to do something and you don't talk back. He is such a man with lots of discipline. He is to be get controlled very amicably, otherwise her problem may increase to untolerate proportions.

Money is required to lead a sophisticated life but to be in a family it is our duty to satisfy our dependants in all ways.

U must make him understand that u need him more than u need the money. Just tell him that no one will take his place. He is obliged to apportion u quality time as husband.

I think as you and I believe that more important things in the life of a person exist. I think that things exist as the love of a person who the money cannot buy. But if it feels itself happy alone, who thus is.

It is understandable I would say. In this day and age it is not easy to keep oneself detached from work. Generally it is we the women who are more materialistic. So we normally push our husbands for things. But your case seems to be different. I would say try to be loving and understanding and he will come around. These things happen more in early part of marriage when we are still figuring out things about us and each other. Be patient. Good luck.

money is not everything, money cannot buy love, care and affection,,, by being so workaholic, he forget the best thing in this world, a loving arms of a dear wife, akiss of a passionate wife and the hug of a dear one... i hope he wont miss that someday, when he is old and gray, have so much money, but no family beside him...

Yes i agree with you money is not everything in life.. here you are missing one thing your husband he's not saying only money but he's doing his job sincerely. So he's not working only for money, he may have long term goals and some goals where he is using his job as an initiative. so its not correct to just think like that he's working only for money... And you are saying that you dont have financial problems but still your husband is working hard so please try to recognize your husbands goals and this mindset. And its the job of the wife to encourage him but you are just talking non sense about his hardwork. so please try to discuss about this with your husband

definitely not... money alone can't buy love and satisfaction that we need to lead a peaceful life... more importantly, we can't trade money for a faithful, caring, nice and dedicated partner to share our life with...

money obviously cant buy peace n happiness . am also a software engineer. but i really dont care abt my work. i work only for 3-4 hrs a day. i am tellin this from my experience. a software engineers job is not so strenous as it seems to be. if your husband keeps his mind, he can finish his work in 4-5 hrs a day. he spends half the time checkin mails n all n stuff n then sits late nite to complete his work i think.

Hearing Problem Load Concerned husband goes to see the family doctor and says, "I think my wife is deaf because she never hears me the first time I say something, in fact, I often have to repeat things over and over again." "Well," the doctor replies, "go home and tonight and stand about 15 feet from her and say something. If she doesn't reply, move about five feet closer and say it again. Keep doing this so we can get an idea about the severity of her deafness." Sure enough, the husband goes home and does exactly as instructed. He starts off about 15 feet from his wife in the kitchen and as she is chopping some vegetables, he says, "Honey, what's for dinner?" He gets no response. He moves about five feet closer and asks again. No reply. He moves five feet closer. Still no reply. He gets fed up and moves right behind her, about an inch away, and asks again, "Honey, what's for dinner?" She replies, "For the fourth time, vegetable stew!"

If you're sad, how can you lead a peaceful life? All the money won't make a difference. Does your husband see your sadness and loneliness? If he still does not respond, you'll need to find something to do that you enjoy during the day to keep your mind occupied. Do you have hobbies you can do? Does your husband have hobbies that you can learn to participate in, so both of you can do it together?

Man With An Earring Load A man is at work one day when he notices that his co-worker is wearing an earring. This man knows his co-worker to be a normally conservative fellow, and is curious about his sudden change in "fashion sense." The man walks up to him and says, "I didn't know you were into earrings." "Don't make such a big deal, it's only an earring," he replies sheepishly. His friend falls silent for a few minutes, but then his curiosity prods him to say, "So, how long have you been wearing one?" "Ever since my wife found it in my truck!"

Dineheiro is not everything in the life of a person. I think that it provides some good chances, but still thus exist muitascoisas that the money cannot buy and the love is one of them. But if it does not desire to be happy, he is rich and it uses to advantage its sadness.

Don't Let Money Lead You Down the Wrong Career Path by Peter Vogt MonsterTRAK Career Coach One MonsterTRAK member writes: I'm just wondering: What is a good field to go into after college? I'm in my first year of college and have changed my major twice. I want to make at least $90,000 a year and will do just about anything that doesn't involve a lot of math. Could you give me some options? These words are troubling. The person who wrote them seems intent on choosing his future career based entirely on one variable: Money. Sadly, if he goes ahead with this strategy, he'll almost certainly wind up disappointed. The issue isn't the moral one: "Money is the root of all evil." It's actually a very practical one: There's much more to your career choice than money, and what seems like a high-paying career path now may not turn out that way. Slippery Salaries The salary numbers you see here on Monster and elsewhere are median figures, meaning half of the people working in the field earn less than that figure. And of course, whenever you're reading about the financial future of a particular career, you're dealing with predictions, not known facts. Just ask one of the thousands of disenchanted grads who decided to major in an information technology-related field when they began school in 1999 or 2000, thinking it would lead to instant, high-paying jobs when they graduated in 2003 or 2004. But forget about the money for a moment. What about: Your Interests? Many of those 1999 and 2000 IT majors mentioned above had little or no true interest in information technology. They simply saw dollar signs when they made their initial career decisions, not to mention what seemed like boundless opportunity. Now many are struggling to find jobs and doing so with an additional burden: They're not all that excited about the prospect of actually succeeding in their IT-related job search. Don't make the same mistake. Choosing a career because you think the money will be great, even though you are not really interested in the field, is a recipe for boredom or worse -- clinical depression, for example. Making a choice this way will cost you a great deal in the long run. Your Abilities and Skills? It doesn't get any more practical than this: If you choose a career for the money but don't have the abilities and skills to do the job, you won't hold that job for very long, assuming you even land one in the first place. Good-bye, money. And hello to lots of wasted time and effort spent on your too-short career or too-long job search. Your Values? You may discover that your high-paying career requires you do things you'd rather not be doing, things that even keep you awake at night. Will an 80-hour-a-week job clash with your home life? Will your job force you to compromise your integrity, self-respect or even play games with the law? The courts are filled with highly paid executive defendants and less highly paid witnesses to their transgressions. Is being in either role worth it to you? Your Personality? If you're a shy, introverted person who needs a lot of peaceful alone time, money won't buy you peace and quiet when your job forces you to schmooze with strangers for 50 or 60 hours a week. If you're a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants type and your job calls for excruciating attention to detail plus outstanding organizational skills, how long will your paycheck sustain your psychological health, assuming you can keep performing the tasks? Consider the long-term implications of your career choices. Selecting a career based solely on the promise of big money now may be a short-term decision that can lead to a lengthy and costly career change later.

You r in a hard situation it is nice to have money but nicer to have time with your spouse. Seems he has made his work his whole life. I would ask him to go to counseling with you so that he can see that it hurts u and u need him. Good luck
