Unbelievably well-written essay, Dennis. Thank you.
CR, I don't mean to trivialize you and Michelle's difference of opinion, but it really is a good idea to "agree to disagree". Many happy couples consist of individuals that are different but complementary, and the differences can actually make their bonds stronger than a "matched" couple. Maybe providing physical security for both of you is going to have to be your job. Michelle can be as "soft" as her conscience requires, and that's not a bad thing really. Not everyone practices the arts of war, and our society would be poorer without them. Good luck.
