Wife on The Rocks Marriage and Business - Listener Question

"I find myself trying to control my husbands drinking and even some other things. We own a successful (for now) business and I manage it with him- but he is dropping the ball a lot. I don't know how to not fix his messes! I really cover for him a lot- maybe to save face myself a bit. Am I supposed to just let him tank everything? The business was his dream (NOT MINE), but this past year (the drinking has sky-rocketed) he has made mistakes and let things go that I don't see how to fix. Gosh I'm really struggling and so happy to have found you!"

Sending you some serious love,

Can a marriage — and a business — survive alcoholism? In this episode, I answer a listener whose family business is impacted as her husband's drinking progresses. 

• The blurry line between supporting your spouse and slipping into codependency
• Why "band-aid fixes" can't outrun the progressive disease of addiction
• How alcoholism impacts a family business and the difficult decisions that follow

If you're a Christian wife navigating alcoholism, addiction, codependency, or the challenges of owning a business with an alcoholic spouse, this episode is for you.
