This handy little item may be something worth investigating:

Yes, its appearance does provoke fanciful speculations about Christmas tree ornaments or medieval torture devices. It's actually an appliance that a dentist could make especially for your sonically gifted bed partner. The bar on the lower guard nestles in the hook on the upper guard, which is on the end of a screw. Turning the screw handle pulls the lower jaw forward and holds it there all night, keeping the airway wide open continuously. The idea is that a wide open airway minimizes the snoring. And saves your marriage.

Of course, women never snore. Or burp. Or fart...which is why talking is the only thing that keeps them from exploding.
