Also, outsider opinions tend to die off once they see that you're happy in the long haul and that what you have works for you. Thanks for your comment.

I have a feeling a lot of outsiders think I let my husband's opinion carry the day too often. From my perspective, I save that urgency for times when it really matters. For the rest of it? I have more fun when we're both happy than when I'm getting exactly what I want. I love the solidity of a numeric system. It takes out some of the tug of war and win/lose out of the decision.

You can easily get stuck on principle while losing focus on what's truly important. Thanks for the kind words. Hi Roger

It’s amazing how “passionate” you can be in the moment and with time comes perspective. You can easily get stuck on principle while losing focus on what’s truly important. Thanks for the kind words.

Is this a battle you really have to fight or can you let this one be and worry about the next one? Thanks for the comment. By the way, you have a fantastic web site. Lots of good information!
