As your better half seems to like Socrates maybe you try this premise on her:

Would be obliged for research purposes if you could report back on the success putting this premise into action.

Thanks for the quote, I only saw it by accident whilst researching Aristotle V Epicurus on leisure. Just wondered if CM would feel as warmly about him given this quote.

I agree with you about Aristotle though just a shame he was so well thought of by the early church fathers.

When I got married, the registrar told us that we could choose our own vows. I said "as long as she says 'love, honour and obey', I'm not fussed".

Neither she nor my fiancee found it as amusing as I did.
