This might be effective initially, until your wife has met the other woman, who lives in a trailer, and dabbles in crystal-meth with her babby-daddies.

Truth is, it's a wiser investment to improve what we have. There is no magic union that's going to show up and fix things. People can wish upon a star, or they can put green tags on their bags all day long, but that's not going to turn Caplinger's hobby into an actual union.
