Lesson time, ladies and germs. Today, it's all about being on the same page with your wife or husband and making marriage work. In the news right now is Senator Barack Obama and how his wife likes to razz him about picking up his dirty laundry and doing some other chores. Hopefully they won't take it too far, or trouble's gonna be brewin' in the Obama abode.

Some couples can do it, but others can't. If things are going good with your other half, then that's dandy. But lots of times, bubs and dames struggle with money and that spreads to other areas of their lives. Before you know it, you got a marriage problem, broken hearts, broken wallets and a one-way ticket to Splitsville.

Don't heckle your spouse, baby ... get on the same page with 'em, like Dave Ramsey says. Work together in whatever you do, like when you pay off debt. When you have a budget meeting, you BOTH sit down and do it. When they need you, shut off the TV and listen. It's the stuff that dreams are made of.
