In my world, my wife makes a larger income than I do, so sometimes I don't have a lot of leverage. But I've learned that through diplomacy I can usually get her to see my way. We trade off a lot. I want to get a new 4 stroke for the pontoon next spring and she wants counter tops for the kitchen, so that's what is going to happen. I just won't get as much horse power as I would have wanted
. But that's OK. Compromise works in my world. I usually get pretty much what I want in the end. It helps that she likes fishing and boating as much as I do. I have a great wife.
