I like American music. Do you like American music? I like American music, too.

Makes it punchy
ironically, this is a utilitarian analysis
If the deontological argument convinces your wife, then using that argument has a positive utility and is an acceptable moral action under a utilitarian framework.
But seriously, if you took multiple courses of ethical philosophy and came out convinced that utilitarianism is the only answer, your educators failed you. Not because utilitarianism is not an acceptable answer —it’s flawed, but still useful— but because there are other ethical frameworks that are just as good or better.
Not deontology, though. That’s wishy-washy nonsense.
Were the rest of you… not already choosing what to believe based on the utility of those beliefs? It seems so fundamental to self-awareness.
