Perhaps you two are indulging in some sort of marriage play, probably a new pop psychology technique for lowering the divorce rate or something.  Well, let me warn you, psychology is not a science, and pyschologists usually rank below librarians and sociologists in the brains department. The reason you don&#8217;t wake up probably has to do with the fact your fiancee is merely imagining the snoring, using it as a justifcation for poking you in the ribs.  Heed my warning, young man, this sort of thing only accelerates after you tie the knot. <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My fiancee says I snore so loudly it wakes her up.
