Winning for God - losing at home?

What if I'm doing something worthwhile in a non-profit organization but my wife resents it? Isn't doing meaningful service always a good thing? No, our first responsibility is to our own family - not to everyone else in the world. Listen to why it can't be justified.

Questions this week:

1. My wife says that she hasn’t seen many people teaching other people and trying to save the world go very well in family life...many divorces, child rebellion etc.

2. A recent college grad is set to become a classroom teacher but doesn't think it is the best use of her skills and abilities.

3. After failing a job performance review at a company he worked for for 26 years, my husband is faced, at the age of 64, with coming up with a new career!

4. How do I best help my husband increase his confidence? He is depressed, he longs for something fulfilling.

5. I’m a SI on the disc profile system and find it very frustrating in not being able to make decisive decisions. How do I break through this barrier?

6. I’m college-educated and have been working since I was 16. How do I put a value on that 20 years of experience and college degree? It seems like all the avenues I find for "moving up" are with specific degrees, so I seem to be stuck on low-level, low-pay jobs.
