I want to follow up on what I said about being too busy endangering our marriages, our happiness, and our very lives. I want to suggest this is a headship issue.
I don’t talk a lot about headship because it’s a hot button issue, and because I know some of you are egalitarian. If you’re the latter group, please look at this the way you would anything else that could make your wife miserable, kill her, or end your marriage.
Part of the issue here is the pressure society puts on women. They are held to an impossible standard, and given very little grace when they fail. A woman who sets a sane pace will be called unkind things by others. Your support can help her make the right choice, and protect her from those who don’t like her doing that.
Even if you expect a fight, you need to talk about this with your wife. Do it for her, for you, for your kids, and for your marriage. Do it because it’s the right thing to do.
BTW, I’d strongly suggest this is a place where you need to lead by example before you say words!

“I don’t talk a lot about headship because […] I know some of you are complementarian.”
Do you mean, because some of you are not complementarian?
@Mike Taylor – Yeah, got that wrong. Meant egalitarian! Will fix it.
