If my gal and I remain as happy as we were in the picture when we meet for the Spring Festival, marriage is a near certainty.

I used to give all of my money to my last Wife as I thought it might have empowered her and make her feel more equal.
I was wrong as she left me with little except my ability to earn more.
Would I do the same again? Probably, as I am a dinosaur who thinks it enough to bring home the bacon and let my Wife decide how it is distributed.

PS. Yes I would rather be with my Wife than a bunch of drunken bums Alan.
