I'm 100% paleo; no grains, legumes, veg. seed oils, or sugar, but I do eat butter and heavy cream.

My wife says she's "98% paleo" but I'd put the real number, in terms of total calories, around 60%.

It's a start.

I'm Primal, hubby is not primal/paleo but he's open minded about my diet. He still eat standard Asian diet (soy sauce, white rice and love indian pita bread) but he also eats whatever primal dishes that I make for him. I was hoping he soon will also start seeing my progress that'll convince him to switch to primal.

Yep - and I appreciate him more and more all the time. I started out low-carbing, got him involved, and we're on the same page. I'm more likely to be the one reading the book/blog/website and telling him about it, he's more likely to be the one cooking dinner. (well, 60 to my 40% maybe?) We'll be married 25 years this coming fall, and I've no intention of letting him follow his dad's path into the Alzheimer ward.

No, but I have convinced her of the wonders of coconut oil and butter, and to toss out the canola oil. I've also convinced her to cut back on carbs and it's helped her to lose weight. So diet-wise, it's had a good effect. She gets in a good caveman rib now and then too such as "So is Ooga hungry for dinner or did you eat half of a cow for lunch again?" Keeping a sense of humor is crucial!

No, unfortunately, she is not Paleo! Nor are the kids that live with us. There is always a cookie or "nutrition bar" hanging around. Six boxes of cereal are right beside my raw brazil nuts. Several tubs of ice cream lie right beside my farm raised carnivore eating chickens, grass fed/finished bison, and farm raised pork bacon.

The worse part is that this creates an obesigenic environment. Unfortunately, these foods signal my brain to want to eat sweets. It's a daily battle.

The saddest part is that she's a dietitian! :( I'm a neurochemist and physiologist! We have lots and lots of arguments!

My lady and I are Paleo. :-) Though I have had celiac disease since well before I met her, so I credit her with fully converting me. While I wasn't eating gluten anymore, I was eating plenty of other things that didn't help my body, or repair the damage still left from before going gluten-free.

I have to say too, having a paleo mate for support, and to cook with, makes paleo eating much more enjoyable. And at least for me, having a mate that I actively want to be attracted to me is a good motivator to get and stay in shape.
