I don't believe so. We just recently found this site and I've sent him a zillion links to read. Don't think I've gotten to this yet. Has your husband read these?

We have had such a hard time financially for 5 years. My husband thinks the four 4 hours dates per week are totally unrealistic although he said he'd spend every waking hour with me if it were possible. He's extremely stressed about our finances. Me asking him to do this right now is causing a ton of friction between us.
His business is headed in the right direction but he's working 60 hours per week and we have lots of outstanding debts right now.
He tried to gain employment for 3 years after being laid off more than 5 years ago. Nothing ever worked out and it seemed clear that he should have his own business. In the meantime, his Dad, whom he was in business with, got sick with terminal cancer. He died in August 2015. I ran my own full time business during that time so he could help his parents and deal with the immense grief. He was ready to get back to working full time last March and the business has done well but there is a learning curve. We feel confident about his ability to make sufficient money now but with all the outstanding debts, there is a ton of burden on us.
Our financial situation and our marriage both need equal work right now and we're trying to figure out the balance.
This is what I want him to chat with Dr. Harley about.
