We were engaged in 2006 and I forwarded that article to my soon to be wife. Her answer was: I don't think this is funny. I ended up buying a 10k diamond ring. We're still happily married with 1 beautiful 8 y.o. daughter. Ask any married guy and they'll all say the same: pick your battles!

Exactly. Who is one person to judge what someone else finds important or gets pleasure from even if invented by a marketing person? What is the value of a football or soccer game or a host of other things people spend money on. Ripoff is in the eyes of the beholder.

  It doesn't cost 3 months salary and support death in Africa to watch a football or soccer game.

    Although it does support permanent brain injury in football players.

It sounds more that both of you are [insanely lucky to be / oblivious of being] well off rather than that you're gifted with exceptional knowledge about marriage.
