Tips for staying married

my wife would come out to the garage and ask for me to come in for together time I would tell her hay i am home come out to the garage sit in the chair and we talk why i work on the car truck or jeep. that did not go over well. next time she did that i ask her for a $100 dollars. she wanted to know what the $100 was for. I told her i was going to the bar. now she sits in the garage and life is good. and she knows what tools i am asking for so i don't have to get up. she gets the tools because it is really hard for me to get up after my back surgery
