re: Any of you married men with families ever quit your job without having another lined up?

You said “trying to have kids.” Any chance this could be postponed a bit? I’m not meaning to talk bad about starting a family at all, it’s wonderful that you want to, but children are probably your employer’s greatest leverage over you, so if you’re already unhappy and wanting to look around, it would behoove you not to make your bargaining position worse.

I wouldn’t quit until I had something else lined up, personally.
