So it hasn't really felt like six years (13 years being together) and to be honest I'm a very lucky guy. I have wonderful kids (except when they drop dueces and I gotta change them) and a very beautiful (and semi-smart) wife! So where's my life lacking if I have all these great things? First let me give you a brief rundown of my 'Pool of Points' theory. The 'Pool of Points' theory is really a theory of balance.
Every person or thing has a set of characteristics or traits if you will. And within those traits/characteristics are a number of points that all draw from the person's 'pool'. For instance: Jessica Alba, a really attractive person until she opens her mouth to say something. There are way more points in her looks than in her intelligence traits. And just like that a majority of her points from her pool are allocated into her 'looks' category. Or it can be applied on a larger scale like, 'asians are good with the ching a chong chang kung fu and math but not very well endowed and are not great drivers. Or women, naturally attractive and highly sought after which can bring lots of joy to their gender counterparts, but they do not have any or little common sense. Or white people, with their good credit scores and ability to talk to police without getting beat down but not very coordinated on the dance floor and generally un-athletic.
So back to me, I have a great life, great kids, a great wife, so where's the balance? Ahh...and it hits me...I'm way out of fighting shape and the hair is thinning. So what do I do now? Do I go on a mid-life crisis run? Go buy a porsche? Wear lycra shorts to show off my personal knuckle everywhere I go? Start my subscription on Viagra? Actually none of the above...I'm in a good state of balance, putting me in a good place. I love my wife, my kids, and my life and I'm more than happy to take all the points from anything else and put them towards my wife & kids.
