Oh...I have also been trying to figure out ways to manage our differences. Like..we are different on money (isn't nearly every couple?) I am really thrifty - I'll find a few items in a Dollar Store and walk around for a minute and think if I really want them. He is kind of the opposite - we had some Christmas lights here that I got at 90% off, and he was going to throw them away and just re-buy them after we moved since they were tangled. I was like "it'd cost $30.00 to replace them". He was like "it's only $30'00". To me, it's the small money that counts, and becomes big money.
So - we were talking about having money for each of us for spending money (he does earn most of the money). I figure he should have, at the very least, double what I have. That way I won't be hovering over his shoulder wondering why he's spending xx amount on stuff (i.e. - no nagging, I HATE nagging and have never really been one).
Anyway, there are a few instances like that where I want to nip things in the bud before they become issues.
