My wife and I had this discussion a long time ago. I told her that I carry because I care about her safety, which is true, and because I believe that it is a God given mandate that we are to be good stewards of all that he has entrusted to us, her primarily, and personal property a distant second. This is the same reason that I also carry in church, as a deacon, it is my calling and mandate to care for the personal needs of the church, security being one of those needs.

Since that discussion there has never been a problem.
