A couple years ago, my wife moved into a much more demanding job which also pays even more than she had been earning. The geographic move required that I give up my job, and so now I work only part-time, and only from late August through April -- my summers are completely free. Though I am usually still in bed when she leaves for work, she'll bring in a cup of coffee, give me a goodbye kiss, and tell me "You should get out on your bike today."

Last winter, out of the blue, she told me "You should buy a new bike; get whatever you want, and don't worry about the cost."

And by the way, she's much younger than I am, much more attractive, and great in bed. Oh, and she's a great cook, too.

No point to this, other than to counter some of the anti-wife posts than always accompany these discussions. And to make some of you jealous!
