It tock me forever to finish my ATPLs so dont use me as ameasure. I work full time and kind of under estimated how much it was to read, and over estimated my own ability... There were times when I didnt study for months but I finaly got my act together and forced my self to do it. Its al down to hard work (and a good question bank).
When I studied the most my wife had to take care of all the logistics, I didnt help her with anything ( I made it up to her by takeing her shoping this saturday), maby you should prepare your husband for that...
It is good that you have taken time of from work, that will help alot. The one thing I wanted for my 33d birthday was time.
check your PMs
