OP didn't outright say it, but I don't get the impression that his wife "gave up her career" for OP.  I get the impression she wanted to get married to OP, and sounds like she didn't have much of her own thing going on.  Believe it or not, there are women who become sahms not as a sacrifice but so that they never have to work ever again.  I know lots of them (just like I know lots of women who gave up satisfying careers to stay home).  Based on the rest of the picture, I'd bet OP's wife was not giving up much of a career to stay home, and was very happy to have OP's income allow her to stop working.  [/quote]

Correct! She was not a career woman, she just had an administrative office job, with a long commute, that simply paid the bills. - OP[/quote]

Eh, she was supporting herself with that office job and she potentially could have been promoted to other roles or applied to better paying jobs once she had experience under her belt.  You never know.

But if she had continued to work after the kids were born, you would have been sharing/juggling childcare right along with her.  If you had less time to devote to growing your business you might not be where you are today.

As it is, you have a wife who takes care of all of that for you while you focus on running your business.  It sounds like a mutually beneficial arrangement.  I hope that you appreciate everything she's done to help you succeed.[/quote]
