With every decision my wife and I make, we always just think "would this piss me off if it came back the other way?". Going out with the guys once or twice a week? I wouldn't have a problem if my wife left me saddled with the ankle-biters for a couple nights. 3 times a week? I know I would be mildly annoyed, so why would I do it to her? Of course this necessitates marrying somebody that has the same general views on personal time that you do.
We have conversations about spending money on items over $100 not because we love to veto each others fun, but because it just makes good financial sense to be on the same page with where the money is going.
