Jd, congrats! How did you find the time with all your rewiring?
I've been married for 21 years -- actually pretty happy years. My wife enjoys the stereo and listens to it more than I do (she's home more often) but she is not as enthusiastic as Justacoder's wife! My wife is supportive of my hobby, though wishes I would stop buying stuff, in part because I don't buy gear we can't afford and in part because she's happy that my "mid-life crisis" has turned towards audio rather than more amorous alternatives.
From reading the responses, do you get the impression that couples (and WAF or HAF) seem to do better if there are no kids around?
Anyway, good luck Tireguy -- the strip club suggestion sounds like fun but you're going to need to force yourself to tolerate some pretty rotten sound systems: Focus on one sense at a time and you can get through it ;-)
