Now there IS wisdom! Congratulations again! And also to those others on this thread with long fulfilling marriages!Blindref757 wrote:I asked for advice...I got it!!! No disrespect intended, but I asked for compelling arguments to help sway her position...not marital advice. I appreciate those who might suggest that there are issues behind her protest, but I think after 21 years together, I know her pretty well. I'm convinced that this is more about image and her feelings of safety than it is about a deficiency in our relationship. My wife is my most prized possession...and I say that with utmost respect (she isn't my property). I'm not going to get a divorce over this. We were married 20 years without a CHL. If not carrying at church is a big deal, I'll adapt. Being the spiritual leader of my household involves listening, compromising, and not always being heavy handed. To me, that's a prescription for many wives!
