In his immortal poem about the Wedding- "A million women like Maggie, are willing to bear the yoke- but a woman's only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke"
That poem is entitled
THE BETROTHED, and the quote is:
"A million surplus Maggies are willing to bear the yoke,
and a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke"
Great poem, but does not apply here. You are
already wed, the cigar smoker was not. If she is the love of your life, you do well to place that ahead of guns. Time will sort all the other stuff out. Once she realizes she is the most important thing to you, all this other stuff will pale in importance to her. A great, and lifelong, marriage is of far more import than the next used gun (hard as it may seem to believe at the time
) .
All my best, SRH
