I'm working hard to try and help us get ready for next year. My husband wants to go to college next fall. I'm hoping that we will be prepared for it all. We've got to decide if we are going to move, or if we've got to save for the commute back and forth. So we are trying to figure out the finances and all that going to school will entail. So I'm trying to be supportive with this.

Dominique, that's the value of marriage (couples helping each other in times of need). I will definately advise you to support your husband both financially and emotionally at the end this will benefit both of you. Good luck to both of you.

I'm glad that you are supportive. It really does make a difference. You helping him and he helps you. That is such a good thing. I think that when a couple are this giving it strengthens the relationship and draws them closer together. Doing these types of things for one another will definitely benefit your future. I hope that he is doing well with his studies.

All the best, i will support unconditionally as he is the captain of the house. Have one step backwards from the captain, let him organize and you do your duty and responsibilities to keep the situation serene and harmonius.

I think it is very important when a husband and wife can work together. It makes things difficult when the headship arrangement isn't in order. Or when a wife tries to run things and usurps the headship of her husband. I do my best to try and keep the calm. I think more so lately I have been doing a good job. And I will continue to work at supporting the decisions he makes.

Dominique, you re so good wife.
Since I'm single, I can't give many opinions. As I know, you can support you husband in two ways, material and immaterial.
For material, you can help him in preparing/saving money and those things needed for college. The immaterial help is also important cos I know it will not be easy for doing your life the next time, so you have to keep tough, patient and full of spirit for keeping stay on your planning. Hope your husband college will be okay and don't have any problems. God Bless you

Thanks. I too hope that his college experience will go well. I will do my best to keep up with everything to help us make it through his college years. I know it will be important for us to save and use our money wisely. This way he doesn't have to work as much. And it will be important to help him perhaps review and things for his test, as well as give him the time that he needs to study.

I've decided to join with his company under his boss. The job is a bit weird but the offer was tempting..I was gonna get paid 20 times of my hubby's salary..and withing 2-3 years we can settle down..the job is a bit weird but as it's my family I've decided to go and it would be supportive for my husband on finances and after all he is also supportive for me to get into the job and wished me to enjoy the time..
we may to be physically separate at times and that's what worries me..it's quite a big thing for me..because if I don't have his manly companionship on bed for more than 3 weeks then it would result in a head ache and more days without that comp.ship, it would get worse..I have just got into job and till no we hadn't got to separate and we are thinking of an alternative route that once he let me did this time again as I said the payment is quite huge and with 2-3 years we would be able to settle down with kids and start a new life again..
all are still in plans and I have to wait and see how it goes..
hope all works too excellent..

Hope that your job went well or that you were able to find something different. As time as a couple is very important. I hope that things are improving for you.
