my husband is at a loss in his working. He has been in working in a government company for 6 years and working hard and very likely to be promoted, but things are not like what we think,somebody use his good relationship with leader to replace him,so he thought very upset. I know he loves the current job, though I always though his salary is not good enough, because I have my own company and runs well.I hope he can resign and come to help me. But because of the financial crisis, I do not dare to do that, anyway, his work is stable and enough o maintain the household. So I am also in conflict,if he can help me, my business will surely be better but more risky for 2 persons both do not have stable work. Now he is not happy, is it a good chance for me to persuade to resign or..... Good suggestions will be appreciated.

That is a decision that you both should discuss/pray about and should be very mindful not to jump into the decision very rashly as I'm sure that is the very reason why you started this discussion. Does your company have enough to sustain the household for at least 2 years without fail? Do you guys have savings already set aside in case he did lose his job, then you could practically do whatever you both want for a period of time that will ensure that he is actively seeking better employment before leaving his present job on his own terms and not someone else's.
The most important thing is that you and him agree on the entire situation and that you both together had an active well thought out plan to take in case the situation gets worse than it is.
Just a few thoughts.

Happiness relies always from deep within, if your husband is not happy with his job it's because he felt so many frustrations and disappointments with his work. But you said that running a business is very risky and granting the economic difficulties the world is currently facing now, there is a chance that you might encounter problem financially along the way and the situation will even more worst. Try to talk to your husband and explain your situation, if you decide to quit a job because he is not happy anymore, does quitting can make him happy?
Having a stable job is a great help especially now that running a small business is not a surefire for financial security. At the moment, it is best not to resign I think, and your husband must think of your family first before he could think his personal happiness, though we all seek lasting happiness, practicality is more effective at this point in time.
