She has read all of the books (DR, Millionaire Next Door, Automatic Milliaonaire, etc...) and understands the importance. She just is not going to sit down and look through investment options. I guess we fit that stereotypical guy does the investing and gal does the day-to-day finances. We both know we are doing our part.
My wife, though her hearts not in it, follows the plan. I should say to everyone that my wife is a great mother and wife, her only flaw is finances. Because this is a finance forum and I've made many some what negative refferences concerning my wifes views toward finances, I feel I should clearify these facts.

I would love to know what its like to be on the same page though. Congrats Snave.
