I'm guessing you have never been divorced? The Happy wife+ Happy Life simply is a mindset that keeps things in perspective. Trust me, if she goofs up, im the first one on her case about it. If both people have the same mindset to make each other happy, then that phrase makes perfect sense. I have never had to sneak kits into the house either, but if left to my own to say when is enough plastic, i'd be living in a cardboard box with a bunch of unbuilt kits. You have been married for 47 years. You have found what "works" for your marriage, give and take, right? Well "happy wife=happy life" works for me. She's that little voice that simply asks if i really NEED another kit when i have so many. She forces me to stop and think about the purchase before i buy it. I DO pay all the bills, Mortgage, TWO car payments, not to mention all the medicals bills since her car wreck. She just keeps it real for me. No war to start, man. Your entitled to your opinion. I only hope my wife and i have 47 years together. We have 12 so far.
Thanks for the kit offer Andy!! Much appreciated .
