When we are married, we may be asked many questions by our significant other. Some of those questions are going to come and go and we don’t need to put much thought into them.

It’s built to endure, so yes, she would.” A mischievous glint in her eye, the wife adds one final twist, “And if you remarried, if she inhabited our home, slept in our bed, would she also take up my beloved golf clubs?” Laughter fills the room as the husband playfully retorts, “Ah, but there’s a catch! She’s a lefty, my dear!
