We don't live on a boat but for us its the other way around...If I'm working allot and gone we argue more in the time we do have together then If I'm not working very much and around the house more..

For us its the time together that makes us more sympathetic and tender toward each other..

I guess what I'm trying to say is I disagree with the "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" wives tail ..We get set in our ways quickly and selfish and demanding when we are alone but together constantly, we mesh together and love on each other constantly..always trying to provide what the other needs.

I don't know if mine will ever sail an ocean with me..but I would never leave her to enable myself to live the life alone or with some other..Hopefully our plan of 6 months on and 6 months off the boat will be to her liking..if so it will be plenty good enough for me....she is game to try it anyway.

Good luck

The purchase price of a boat is just the admittance fee to the dance...you still have to spend money on the girl...so court one with something going for her with pleasing and desirable character traits others desire as well... or you could find yourself in a disillusioned relationship contemplating an expensive divorce.
