In response to your other comment, I get my information on relationships from "dating books" (plural). Mainly from Corinthians, Genesis, and Proverbs. Probably not the "dating book" you were thinking. I don't just use the bible for dating purposes though. I like to use it for all aspects of my life. So far, it's been working for me.
The roles and effectiveness of religious doctrine. That is a thread in and of itself.

Besides, she left our the quintessential biblical dating book: Song of Songs (or Solomon, depending on your version)

I read it, just not as much as Genesis, Proverbs, and Corinthians. Great book, though.

And these types of discussions continue to be tautological.

It works!
How do you know?
Because it worked for me!

Yep. And that's pretty much the entire contents of this thread in one post.

Living on one income and banking the other is certainly ideal, but in reality it may not be possible. In my family's case, our incomes separately have either not reached the self-sufficiency level in our county or barely reached it.

In my county, for a family of two, poverty is in the range of $10,000 and self-sufficiency is in the range of $35,000.

The median household income in my county is $78,218 (as of 2009).

ETA: We have no debt except for a minimal mortgage on an 800 sq. ft. condo. We ended up buying, because rent in this county is too damn high.

Has anyone ever put that into the Snoop Dogg Shizzinator? If not, they really need to.
