Sorry GH, what I meant to say is pretty much the way you summed it up...I didn't mean that he get all alpha male on her, but basically to become more valuable to his W other than being an errand boy. So, in deference to your much more eloquently stated advice, I retract the statement.
"Achieve success, but without vanity; Achieve success, but without aggression; Achieve success, but without gain; Achieve success, but without force." Lao Tzu
