Wife Acceptance Factor

I hear alot about Wife Acceptance Factor when it comes to equipment. I'm getting married in 6 months. Fortunately, my fiance is pretty accepting of the hobby. Just curious about all those guys out there who have a family and are still allowed to invest their spending money almost entirely on audio equipment. After you get married, do most women step in and try to squash spending on this hobby? Opinions welcome!!!

If all else fails, don't forget that there's always the Blue Circle "Music Pumps":

You get what you earn. You get what you accept. If audio is important earn the money so the family does not suffer and then do not buy into WAF. It is important to you and if you are a good and loyal spouse/parent/partner/lover/friend she will see that you get your toys! Be patient with the purchases however. Do not constantly upgrade or change out. Find a good system and only upgrade on an irregular interval. It would be nice to involve her and/or the children. My son (soon to be 22) wants my system! In other words be realistic and responsible. Your system is for the music not vice versa. Alternatively...do not get married.
