By the way, I know that I probably come across as negative concerning every suggestion that anyone gives me (i.e. I'd like to do that but...). However I'm really not as pessimistic as I may seem - I'm basically playing devil's advocate with each suggestion based on how I THINK my wife will react. In many cases I'm sure she'll react differently than I'd expected and I believe that some combination of the suggestions I've gotten on this message board will eventually make a huge difference in our relationship. Just didn't want to discourage anyone from offering suggestions - I really do appreciate them very much.
