Thanks FIB - I'm really trying on the listening. It's hard at times because she talks and looks to me for a response. Puppy and phoenix and Bill have helped me with what i should say at those times.

When in doubt, never hesitate to just say "Wow, I'm not sure. I'll have to think about that one. Let me get back to you on that." or something similar.
As men, I think sometimes we feel like we are expected to "have all the answers" -- it's our "fix-it" nature.
