I second what Jose said, below, so very well.

In addition, I have these words of advice:

  Immediately after the wedding ceremony is over,
  Decide who will be the boss in the family,
  Then promptly tell her she will be!
                         ^^^

| So, are you asking for:
| help?
| Advise?
| Copies of marriage subroutines and/or procedures?
| Home calling commands?
| Room allocation using arrays?
| Storage sharing techniques?
| How to keep a normalized home environment?
| Best cooking hardware for your needs?
| Color scheme for your communication interface?
| 
| I could go and on but I will leave it to you to
| be more specific in lieu of guessing and not
| giving you the right direction.
| 
| It sounds much like a program I started writing
| about 18 years ago and I am still working on it. :)
| I have successfully branched two other programs from
| this project; one is 15 (almost 16) and the other is 
| 10 (going 11).  Due to lack of time and man power, I
| have decided to stop branching off and stay focused
| on the projects at hand.
| 
| Funny thing with these kind of programs is that bugs
| you think you have long fixed, keep on popping up no
| matter what you do and you're never short of having
| some one remind you of how long that bug/glitch has
| been around.  Oh, make sure you write this one with
| strong locking mechanism and take your time testing
| all possible breaking points - If anything goes
| wrong, no matter the reason, you will be at fault.
| No, if things go right, you will not be given due
| credit.
| 
| If anything, I can advise you to prepare yourself for
| a life long development project.  There simply is no
| end to it; it evolves like wild fire and it changes 
| direction virtually overnight, you simply need to keep 
| up and stay focused on your long term goal.
| 
| I know some programmers that have done same and without
| hesitation, they admit that while it was the most
| challenging project they ever engaged, it was the
| most rewarding.  There is not measure to the pleasure
| one feels when you look back and see the result of your
| hard work, how fruitful your branched-off projects have
| become and to dare guess their potential ... and yes,
| these projects will have a life of their own and will
| eventually become self maintained and even start other
| projects of their own.  We can only hope to be around
| long enough to witness those projects and see them grow
| as well.
| 
| Congratulations!  I wish you and your wife to be great
| fortune and health.
| 
| Regards;
|
