Mike,
Not an entry but wanted to say congratulations and blessings to you and your lovely bride of 50 years. My wife and I celebrated our 42nd anniversary in June and you have perfectly articulated the secret for a good marriage! You just treat your wife as the precious jewel she is (Proverbs 31:10).
 
Hi Mike,

This is not an entry because I have not been a BF member long enough, but I certainly wanted to wish you and Judy a wonderful 50th Wedding Anniversary!

Congratulations! I have been married for two years and it gets better every day:) Our secret is separate bank accounts, that works well for us since we met later in life. The Bible, and my parents, always told me to never go to bed angry and we hold to that rule and it has served us well:thumbup:
 
Congratulations! Just got engaged last month so my journey has only begun!
I'm in for that consolation prize due to my under 50 traditional post count… so far... ;)

Again… many thanks for this GAW
 
Congrats! That is a milestone. Married 16 years with 2 great kids, 12 year old daughter and 6 year old son. It is all great and a lot of work and some tears. Life is short. Make it a great day!
 
Congratulations on reaching the milestone of 50 years, and thanks for the chance at such a beautiful knife! I'm in.

My wife and I have been married for 12 years, and our success has come from love, mutual respect, and open communication.
 
Congrats on 50 years Mike! My wife and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary a couple weeks ago, so we don't really have too much sage advice to share so far. Our main strategy is to share honestly and openly. Open communication seems to work for us so far.

This is not an entry, because 1) I have already been the beneficiary of your extraordinary generosity, and 2) I just won two GAWs last month, so it is time for other people to benefit from the generosity of this forum and from you in particular. But hooeeee! is that Custom trapper a looker!

Even though I'm not entering, I wanted to make sure to congratulate you on the milestone, and applaud your generosity. You are a big part of what drew me to the traditionals subforum, and you help make this a nicer corner of the internet to be. Here's to 50 more years!
 
@abbydaddy thanks for the kind words Jon. Wishing you and your wife many good years.
 
Count me in and congratulations! Cheri and I are closing in on 42 years Dec 8th. We listen to each other and share some things, but also give space to each other.

I would take a bet that traditional knife guys have a lower divorce rate than the general population. Maybe that is the key.
 
Congratulations on your anniversary! That is very generous of you to give away that fine knife. :thumbup::)
Not an entry, just a thank you.
 
I'm in thanks for the gaw! The secret to marriage is to never cheat life... To give all that you can to your union throughout the journey for wherever that trip takes you!
 
I'm in for the consolation knife! My post-count is too sad for the other one. I made 23 years of marriage this summer. I don't have a real secret but I think it helps to have the perspective that your spouse gets to choose to stay with you each day and is not required to do so just because a wedding took place. I like to think that my wife gives me the gift of having her in my life every day and i try to be worthy of that gift. I'm not quite saying it as I meant to but close enough.

Congratulations on the upcoming 50th and thanks for the awesome GAW! You look like a happy and beautiful couple.
 
Congrats. Hard to imagine being married that long. Hopefully we'll both live long enough to find out what its like. Been married 18 years. Thanks for the chance. My wife has always said you should never go to sleep mad at each other. So far it has worked.
 
MiKe, congrats on your wonderful anniversary. Nanc and I celebrated 32 yrs last Month. Not an entry but a Thank you for a great GAW:thumbup::cool::)

Both great knives:thumbup:
 
Mike, congratulations to you and your lovely wife. The good Lord has truly blessed you.
My first wife Kim, and I were married for 30 years. The Lord took her home in 2005 after a 3 year
bout with cancer. In 2008 he blessed me with another wonderful woman in my life. Pam and I
just celebrated our 7th anniversary. This is congratulations and not an entry. Thank you
for a generous GAW.
