I'm just going to be honest...and hope I don't get flamed.

My wife is a BEAUTIFUL lady. She's supportive of my endeavors....and I try to include her in anything SHE WANTS to be involved in. I've tried to get her to shoot bows....even targets, ONLY. She's not interested. She understands my passion....but it hold no interest for HER. She understands how seriously I take this endeavor, personally, and it holds no such interest FOR HER.

She's also the first person I seek to tell about what I see in the woods. She LOVES hearing the stories of the things I see.....and she's evn hinted that she wants to go and observe. I'll set a ladder stand for her, this Fall.....and we'll see.

I was once a PGA Professional.....and I asked her if she'd like to play golf with me. No dice. No interest, FOR HER. We spend LOTS of time together.....and I love her and our son more than anything. We just have different interests, SOMETIMES. We both also think this is healthy. I don't go out without her....nor she without me. I don't take long hunting trips/golf trips with "the boys". That holds no interest FOR ME. I love my wife very much. We just have different interests.......and we both agree that it's healthy.

This is what works FOR US. I'm glad what others are doing works FOR THEM. There is NO "right" or "wrong" way for everyone.
