Good luck Bob! If she isn't falling for the "love" bit you might go for the "it's more economical" angle. That's a strong argument in this economy :)

Dominic - so true. And valuing different things in a home may indicate valuing different things in life. Though it's not always a "deal breaker" (as Liz Lemon would say.) It just depends on where those difference lie and how you deal with them...
