Hello, all,
I am wondering what people's experience with this has been.

Why would you want to?

This sounds like manipulation. Not really a loving act.

cheers,
Larry G.


Yes, of course, the beauty of the night sky has nothing to offer a
person, so trying to interest someone in it is a manipulation rather
than an attempt to give the person something of transcendent value. I
get it now. Thanks for pointing this out to all of us...
Clear skies,
Bill Meyers


Well, think of it this way: if your wife is interested in you, why
isn't she also at least somewhat interested in what you're very
interested in?

It should of course also work both ways, i.e. you too should share
your wife's interests at least to a point, so that she feels you
care about what she's doing.

Yes, the night sky is beautiful, but other things are beautiful too,
and different people have different priorities.
