My awesome wife...

I just got remarried Dec 30th.I'm here to tell you all that the difference between a woman that likes the things most of us do-compared to one that does not -----is worth more than GOLD.

My current wife (Carol) likes to go hiking,camping,lift weights,learn martial arts(I teach it),go shooting as well as KNIVES.

In fact I have had to get her about 10 so far.The problem with a woman that likes knives you ask?Your knife costs then double.(not really complaining--)

It also doesn't hurt that is is 10 years younger (and much better looking) than ME! :)

BUT MORE IMPORTANT IS FINDING A WOMAN YOU CAN TRUST AND THAT YOU ENJOY SPENDING TIME WITH-NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE DOING...

That is PRICELESS!!!!!
 
My Fiance is great she hasnt complained about me spending over $8000 in the last 12 months on guns, ammo, knives, and reloading supplies.
 
Came back after 21 yrs and married my high school sweetheart. I was living in Oregon at the time and she was in Texas. I've been here and there. She's born and raised here in this little town. She tracked me down after we lost touch some time back. Hadn't seen each other, but as we started talking we realized it was finally our time. We'd both been through two marriages each and had said, "Never Again!" But, it was us. I got off a plane in San Antonio on 20 Aug 96, and we got married on 24 Aug 96. People around us still make gacking sounds cause we're to "mushy." She enjoys that I enjoy my knives and guns. She even gets a little turned on when she sees me handling my guns. She even girl watches with me and points out those I miss! I think she knows I ain't tradin her off for nuthin! I'm turning 50 on the 24th of this month and I'm quite lucky to have her. I have a saying that we aren't perfect, just perfect for each other.

Nice thread for us lucky fellers. Sad for the others, though. I spent too long there not to appreciate where I am now.
 
william, your wife is a beauty, and she likes knives to boot?

does SHE have a sister??? :)
 
bulgron, don't give up. My wife and I have been married 33 years. We are as different as day and night. She likes plays over movies. I can read a good book 10 times, she, only once. She is creative, earned her Masters later in life and is a trauma therapist dealing with sexually abused children. I'm a retired Army officer and currently manage an R&D department for a major food company. I'm very technical, precise (especially with time), only one good way to do something. She's very "ish".

But we have four wonderful children with 5½ (due 27 April) grandchildren. We share a love for our children, our religion, and the location we live. Most everything else, we tolerate about each other. Believe me, we've had to work at this marriage – a lot as a matter of fact. ...but it has been quite a journey and well worth it

I watch that commercial on TV about the company that matches people up. If we had used that service, we would have never even met!

I say she goes out shooting (M1 Garands and an AR15) every 33 years with me. Once a few months after we got married, and once two months ago. I'll be 88 when the third time comes around!

She gives me her paycheck, minus an allowance (same amount for both of us, just $10/week when I first got commissioned into the Army in 1976, considerably more now). We don't ask each other where the allowance goes, that subject is never brought up. I pay the bills and ensure retirement and savings accounts are funded. If it was up to her (as it was early in our marriage) we'd have lots of "things" and be deeply in debt. She is smart enough to let me handle the finances. I let her handle the home decorating (I have a den and a garage, I sleep in "her" bedroom).

We do like to eat out occasionally and like to travel to interesting places – we just don't like to do the same things when we get there!

But with all the differences, and few similarities, we've made a good marriage last for a long time. It is worth it. Perhaps some counseling would help? Don't give up.
 
My wife's pretty dang good stuff. We've been married 27 years this October, and she could of run off either of the two times I took my eye off her. But she didn;t.
I'm kindly afraid of her too...like somebody said. She likes my knives too much.
