I had problems with the spiritual advice given in an emergency preparedness text I bought. I don't consider myself spiritual at all. I asked my wife's opinion of what the author had written, read it to her verbatim, and she explained how I actually do follow what the author says, even though I don't think of it that way. Not only does my wife understand me, she can explain things to me I would otherwise instantly dismiss as not applicable to me. One of the many reasons I married her.<br><br>
