A marriage consists of two individuals committing their lives to each other.
Your spouse has just started his recovery and will be whacked out for at least a year. In AA sobriety comes first. If you protect your sobriety, you get to keep everything in life. Without it, you lose it all.
You entered the marriage with two children as your priority. Even though your children are getting older they're almost pawns in how the marriage will and won't work.
Each of you have absolutes. The question is.. which are necessary, which are negotiable?
Do you go to Al-Anon meetings? This is a brave new world both you and your husband are entering.
