"Most lawyers I know have a hard time staying married. The spouses say they are too argumentative. They have to argue to death and win every minor point."

Well, for "She Who Must Be Obeyed" and I, its been nearly 30 years, just months short of the 30 years and 22 days I've been practicing law. 'Course, her name may explain why things have gone so well!

"...its been nearly 30 years..."

Sounds a bit like my lawyer brother. In his case, he picked a very pushy lady to marry. I once asked him how he stayed married to her. His reply, paraphrased, was: "In general, she's always right, I'm always wrong. If she asks what I think, I try to come up with the answer I know she wants. If she takes me to task for something, I immediately cop a guilty plea. Since I work a 70-80 hour week, there isn't that much opportunity to argue anyway. That goes both ways, since she spends about the same amount of time spending the money I don't have time or inclination to spend."

I think he's on to something.
