If you push someone too hard, they're going to push back.
If you're not having much luck catching flies with vinegar, why not try some honey?

I've been in this mariage 25 years and pretty well know what will and won't work. There's no tray with honey when she wants something. I don't have five years to figure out how to get her on board. Besides, when I said highway, I meant I would go.
Not to worry, were on a plan that works and everbody's happy. Were just not the team I wish we could be. And my plan is less aggressive as I would like it to be.
The question to answer is: What do you do when one partner wants be financially responsible and the other doesn't have a clue or care what that means?
Snave,
Exactly.
