" Goodness, its a sad state of affair when bascially the whole page does not have thier priorities straight."
Give me a break bigcountry. We didn't marry to "honor thy wife"....we married to honor EACH other and to support one another in their attempts to love life and all of its endeavors.....
What kind of "wife" would ask you to quit the thing you loved most besides her and the family? I mean really. As long as one's hobby is not drinking a 6 pack a night, then people should let them pursue happiness.
"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"
And again, give me a damn break....what are you a marriage counselor? Do people see into the future? I didn't know everything about my wife when we got married 7 years ago, I am still learning things about her each day. You sound like a preacher from the bible belt.

RE: Wife or hunting?
WOW!
BC, you're exactly right....[&:]
First, hunting is not a hobby to me. I am a hunter. (not very good at it but still a hunter)
Second, yeah you are right, I probably shouldn't have married her in the 1st place.
Third, I did honor my first wife by trying to be something else. Multiple issues in first marriage that lead to the end.Giving up hunting, was just one of them.
Fourth, I believe every word in the Bible. Please do not assume otherwise.
Finally, my priorties are where they need to be, I think. Let's see, I'm not miserable, I'm not divorced again......yet.
I knew I shouldn't have replied originally.
I guess my whole point originally was "COMPROMISE".
If you're agood husband, and father, taking care of your family's needs and your wife understands your needs also, then you're good to go. Marriage has no place for ultimatums.

You either believe in the Word of God or you don't. Its that simple. You honor your wife, all a man expects is respect back. If things have gotten bad enough for your wife to tell you to hang it up, (and you wasn't an idiot before hand and actually married her because you loved her with all your heart) then your doing something wrong. Plain and simple.
You don't agree. So whats new with this forum? Wow, you mean people don't agree with every word you say??? Holy cow, stop the presses.

I chalk up my failed marriage on not loving God with all my heart, soul and mind. Because if I did, and truely seeked his will the first time, it would have never worked out like it did.

I have never been put in that situation, howvever, my wife does get sick of it sometimes. I talk about it, I read about iot, Im on here and sometimes she gets annoyed, and rightfully so, Im sick about it, but if I was faced with it, I would go with the wife, she is the mother of my children for God's sake!!
