I am not really sure exactly how my wife does it, but IF I ever figure it out I'll be writing a book. :wink: $14.95 times a gillion copies. :lol:

Heck... Rawlco.... I'VE got 15 bucks! Put me down for a copy! 8)

But, it sounds like you can't write the "final chapter." :lol: I MIGHT can help you there! You can't write the final chapter because you are STILL married.... and working it out. You need the input of one who has failed miserably at marriage, (without all the juicy stuff) and has learned the reasons WHY.

I can help you write that chapter, for say.... 25% "of the load?" And maybe you can help me "tone down" my OWN book (in progress.) "ANULLED... the story of how the Catholic Church Stole my Child."

Oh.... for 25%, of course! :lol:

Wouldn't THAT be a dynamic publishing company..... RAWLHOBO! :lol:

And I only have just under 4 years of experience at this marriage thing. I am sure there are many things I still have to learn. :wink:

Just say Yes Dear all the time and you'll be fine :P

I need to work on that one. Too often I say "Huh, What did you say?" I am sure you all know what comes next. :lol:

My wife and I started out by making a vow to never go to bed angry. You can't solve any problems without talking them out. She doesn't drive, but it seems to have worked for us. One thing I might suggest is that you set aside a certain time every day to talk about what has gone on and discuss any problems and how you can resolve any differences. It may be difficult for a while, but could work for you. If all else fails, get a frying pan and introduce it to the side of his head. :wink: Good luck.

AND, you only have two more years to learn them! MAX!

Statistics, (as only "I" can twist them,) show that most marriages FAIL within the first 6 years, if "a lack of communication pervades, or "a failure to understand." This seems to be the "fail safe' limit inborn in women! * :lol: AND, it is decreased by a magnitude of years (or at least months) for EACH time we "screw up!" :roll: :lol:

If we Men don't "get it" within 6 years*, well..... I wouldn't want to be gone too long from HOME... if you get my drift! And, it's NOT about the ... um.... nighttime pleasures. It's about the "bonding" of two souls who have committed to "teaming" through life. Bumpy roads or not!

Women really ARE looking for that "TEAM" concept! Men think life is only about their SOLO adventure.... with a female "ride along." To women, ESPECIALLY women truckers, it's about RESPECT. Which leads to equality, and acceptance. And ONLY from an EQUAL can you get real appreciation, dedication and LOVE.

Driving TEAM is easy! But, only if LIVING as a Team is equally so!

* Personally, as a male, I only give women about 1 year to "get it." (due to their advanced training and understanding in these matters,) and if they don't "get it" by then, they're OUT THE DOOR! But then, that's why they call me a Bachelor! :lol:

If it weren't for the "6 year rule," I suspect MANY of you guys would be joining me! :lol: Now THAT'S a funny thought! :lol:

Sorry LALA, I'm one of a kind!

I can't for the LIFE of me understand why I'm not "taken!" :lol:

The sorry fact is, regardless of what they SAY, most women pass me by to get to the PIGS! :shock:

I've been on ice (and I DO mean on ice) for years just waiting for an enlightened woman! [Quit laughing! I'm NOT gay! :lol: ]

I think, speak and act according to the head on my shoulders! The trick is to find a woman who can stimulate me THERE!

Any takers? It's a hard job! Harder than driving any ole truck! :lol:
