When one of you chose a wife or decided that a person is the right match for you, how much was the "preper mentality " a part of it.

In my case, I didnt even think of it earlier, and I realize now that my wife and I are an odd couple in this area (plus a few other areas). While I will have a couple sleepless nights preparing for a 100 mile trip, my wife is the type that will frown if she sees a half dozen water bottles in the car. And she feels better when the car is empty and can buy whatever we need from convenient stores.

So was it a factor in your relationship from the beginning or has it developed over the years ?
