“John, you and Jenny seem to have such a successful marriage. Apparently you never fight about anything. How do you do it?”
“Pretty easy. Early on we decided that I“d handle all the big questions and Jenny would deal with the little ones.”
“Like what, for example?”
“Oh, she decides whether we should move out of state, if we should buy a new car, what college to send the kids to, if it’s time to change jobs … that kind of thing.”
“Really!? Those sound like pretty big decisions to me. What is it that you get to decide?”
“Like I said, the big stuff. Is there a God, what’s the meaning of life, should we triple the defense budget, how can we fix economic inequality, and so on.”
