That you devote a minimum of 15 hours quality, one-on-one time to your spouse. It's because the average married couple with children interact only about 15 minutes a day and then it isn't usually of very high wuality.

Ha! Yeah, I guess that 15 hours per day would be reserved for retirees, which may explain why you hear a lot of older woman say things like "if I don't get some time away from that man, I'm going to poison his oatmeal!"

Oops, sorry [color:"red"] Faith1 [/color] ! I started to type, got distracted by work (can you believe it?!) and then finished typing my answer. GMTA <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> [color:"red"] Check [/color] - Might also explain the high rate of STDs in nursing homes, but that's a subject for another thread when we're all MUCH older...
