I am a married man who's wife has announced that her involvement with the LC must now be her top priority and I will be required to manage our married lives around her schedule.

I am a woman, was in the LC a very long time, no longer a Christian or God-believer, and also have been married for a long time. But this is how I feel. YOU are the man, and as the man, you are the head of that family, and the family should come under YOU. No good can come out of having your wife set those kind of rules down, and any brother in the church who doesn't see this isn't worth his brothership. There is a natural order to things. A woman doesn't respect a man who doesn't take the lead. I would use the verses in the bible that clearly state about coming under your husband, even though he may be an unbeliever so that perhaps one day he may believe. To me, it is crazy to manage your married life around only HER schedule. YOU and your family have a "schedule" too, in which she is needed and should be involved. Put your foot down, gently but firmly.
My two cents.
