DANG, I tried to have that one inserted into the "traditional" vows at my ceremony and didn't quite understand that my Bride took that to mean ME to HER. But that's why I'm so happy now. Our 16th wedding anniversary is next week and I've never been happier. She handles the money while we both get an allowance. I freely admit I'm totally irresponsible with money. If it were up to me, we'd be the most financially destitute and best armed household in the nation. I'm the spiritual leader of the home but we make all other decisions mutually. If it really gets bad, I just give in, because nothing is worth jeopardizing the union.
That's a great plan. My hubby has Scotch blood, and we won't even go there about money issues. He doesn, however, put Scrooge McDuck to shame. Most importantly, the only issue we won't give in on is our faith in God. It will remain solid no matter what. Having a good sense of humor helps too. Congrats on your upcoming wedding anniversary. I'm proud of both of you - way too many choose to give up rather than fight to keep it together. May God keep you together in good health and happiness for the rest of your lives and many many years to come.
Would you have a talk with Pooper please?
