Hey there, I'm in pretty much the same spot except that my wife and I had multiple children last year (yes at the same time). A few pieces of advice: - Having children will test your marriage like nothing before. If you are not happy now, consider that you are going to be even less happy in the future. The children will bring you boundless joy, but don't expect that to make your marriage better. Just my experience there. - Now that I am able to get some sleep again, I find that the quality of my ideas has improved. I have a lot less time to work on them, but the dream is not gone. I also found a job that allows me to work from home and provides a good pay with equity. - Your salary will suddenly feel like it is not enough. But it is. Consider what your parents raised you on and what sacrifices they may have made. My mom raised three of us while learning english and going to college. It wasn't easy. She made a quarter of your salary after getting a degree. - It is overwhelming, but like any test, you will find out who you are in the process, for better or for worse. My wife has gone through that couch potato phase. I think that you have to get her to find something that will break the depression she is possibly going through. Help her to become motivated. You are not alone.
