Goodness, its a sad state of affair when bascially the whole page does not have thier priorities straight.
Interesting...
Have you ever been given this ultimatum?
I have.
I gaveup hunting for her and focused ALL my attention to her.
I was miserable! Things didn't work out with my first wife.
You can't be something you're not, even if you try. And I did try.
As of today, I've been married to my second wife for 9 years. She wouldn't dream of giving me this ultimatum. She has asked me not to go hunting at a particular time or weekend, but that's about it. There has to be compromise, NOT ultimatum.
Say what you want but unless you've actually beenin this situation, you're only guessing.
Sure, been there and done it probably more so than you ever imagined or could imagine being thru it. I was married to my first wife for 7 years.
But bottom line is if you got yourself in the situation where you hobby is more important than your spouse, then you got some serious problems. You should have thought of that crap before you got married and shouldn't have been married in the first place.
The bible tells us to honor our wife so that our prayers will not be hindered. 1 Peter 3:7 Its time we start believin it or walking away from it. Who knows you may not believe the Word of God.
I bowhunt more than most. But I learned one thing from my first divorce. You better honor the wife, or you screwed up marrying her in the first place. The rest, bowhunting and all will fall right into place.
Get your priorities right or be prepared to be miserable til the day you go on your second divorce or death.
