[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with “give in and make her happy” is that she will not be happy if she married a contemptible pushover who gives in whenever she makes demands.

Yes, I'm sure that she'd be a lot happier with a guy who doesn't care about what she wants.

The things that look the same to you clearly don't look the same to her, and it'd be nice if you respected that. You might be surprised, too, at what will help resale. If she's got a good eye and is in touch with what's trendy, the house will sell faster, and possibly for slightly more. I recently sold a house that sold for way above asking price because the finishes were, though not expensive, very stylish. An almost identical house with more dated finishes sold for about $20k less, and the updated finishes cost way less than that.

I bet there are things you care about that she doesn't care about, OP. If you can afford it (even if it's not a good 'investment') do it. And I hope she would be similarly supportive of spending money on the things that make a difference to [i]you[/i].

OP here. I thought hardware and finishes do nothing for resale value. The only thing I see that is good for resale value is doing custom built-ins in the closet. 
The finishes in this house are nice and new. She wants them in a different color and shape ( draw pulls instead of knobs). The bathroom counter top is nice but she just wants a lighter gray. The bathroom floor is nice but she wants it to match the other bathroom. This will not improve our home resale value. [/quote]
