It's counterintuitive, but when your wife asks you if she can buy something expensive, like a new tablet computer, coat, or purse, you should say no two out of three times.

Interestingly I've heard people give this exact advice for raising children...for kids to respect their parents they need to learn how to deal with the answer "no", even if (or especially when) it's something their parents can afford.
Makes you think....
