Been sailing with my wife ever since we met. We've both sailed all our lives, but she's one-up on me in that she's owned/sailed a cat and I haven't...yet. We met on a blind date, and she was hooked after proudly proclaiming she did not drink hard alcohol and only liked beer, to which I replied that that was nice and that I made beer.
Heard a good spouse story the other day during an interview with an author...he got a bad review one time and when the book was returned by the reviewer, his wife took it out back and shot it with a .38. His comment was "that's the kind of wife you want".
Sounds like you may have a winner there...good luck, be kind to each other, and if it's meant to be it will.
