I think Sandy here gives some pretty accurate and inciteful suggestions. I love golf, but I too see that giving up most of the weekend to others would definately cause bad feelings. As Sandy suggests, if it's the game you truly love, involve the whole family, if it's the commradery(sp?) and post game that you really love, own up to it and re-assess your values. Most guys I know go 9 holes, take family members and if possible try to get W involved. Time with W doing something you love. Sure it might not be competitive, but when things are all said and done you will have a better home life.
