Just funnin' My wife and I go 50/50 on the chores also.

She works. I can't, so I do the house stuff.
Yeah, role reversal.
I look at it this way, though; while she's at work I get to work on all the little buckskinning projects I couldn't do if she was around(she kibitzes something fierce!).

There's an old saying that goes something like this: "Man chases woman until she catches him"

Our wives only let us THINK we picked them, not the other way around.

Just shows she has a good eye !!!!!!!Got a wife,if I try to leave her home,best not come back,rather sleep in the woods that go shopping.Her idea of perfume is "doe in heat" or skunk cover scent.Paddle a canoe all day and still stay up around the fire till the Milkyway is full up.Rather wash in a creek then set in a sona,thinks French Finger Nails are just a place to collect fish guts.Shortly leaving for Crown Point and FT. Ticonderoga,her idea,asked why,said simple, never been there.Go figure,got to love the woman who insist you go have fun an buy guns.

You know, Guys, no matter how good a job you do picking a wife, you still lose. A better topic of discussion would be 'picking a dog.' It's been proven scientifically that your dog will love you more than your wife does. In fact, there is a simple scientific experiment you can do at home to prove it to yourself.

Take your wife and your dog and lock them in the trunk of your car and leave them. Go back an hour later and let them out. See which one acts happy to see you.

'nuff said.

Yeah, but mine is so CUTE when she wags her tail!!

SC, I like the way you think...I think...Rockerhound

The missus and I've been married now just over 41 years. I couldn't possibly have picked a better woman to marry. I was 23 and she was 19 when I said "I do" she said "You might have once, buster, but it's over now!"

We do most things together except Rendezvous. She says she's allergic to gingham and calico. She does come sometimes and visit for a few hours if the rondy's not too far from home. We went hunting one time together, but she never went with me again. No problem with me going, she just doesn't like the idea of armed camping trips. Camping to her is setting up our 26' 5th wheel, then sitting under the awning and chewing the fat with the other women in the campground. She does like to fish.

My soul mate and I have been hunting, fishing and camping together for 50 years. I took her ice fishing on our first date, bow hunting the first fall and married her the next winter. She loves the outdoors as much as I do. I'm a lucky man.

You definitely are.

NWTF, now I can clearly see what ya saw in her to keep ya coming back but fer the life a me I just kaint see what she saw in you!!!, poor ol gal musta been blind in one eye n had somethin in ta other ta marry a mean ol grizzl bear like you, lessen yer just a big ol panda once the door closes HAW HAW HAW HAW

Mine even cuts the firewood......

Grey Wolf,I do believe Ye could make one serious "white man"fire with that fire wood!!!!!!!!!!

One serious saw! I've seen longer ones in the Pacific NW, but for most places that's a fine falling saw.

I just noticed the heading we are under, Trekking and Primitive Skills. Picking a wife must be a primitive skill(?). The subheading just under the caption starts with "Trips by foot..." For those who pick poorly, it can be very much like a 'trips by foot' and then a 'tumbles and falls' type of journey!

Been there done that...

My wife just called me at work. Someone just hit a deer on the road and the police had to finish it off. She pulled in behind the police car and told him she would take it off his hands. He was glad to give it to her. So she's in our garage gutting a deer while I'm in an office building working on a PowerPoint presentation.

now shes a keeper

My wife and I have been married for 25 years , raised our two boys (hers from a previous marriage )and are now enjoying a grand daughter, with another on the way. We've had our ups and downs but I gotta say life is great.
Pam even tried the Rendezvous for a while, and decided it just wasn't her thing ( in fact her camp name is "Not Here" ).Ya know that's even better cuz it let me go on to the AMM.
We have come to value our time apart, as well as our time doing things together.

the difference is: A man marries a woman hoping she never changes. A woman marries a man and looks at him with the "A little work, and I can make something out of that".
Both usually end up a bit disappointed in the outcome.
My wife had long hair when we courted. When we bought the Electra-Glide she got it cut shorter because of the wind. When I had midlife crisis and went to hunt Cape Buffalo and Elephant last year and bought a used Jaguar convertible she cut it shorter because topdown the car mussed her hair up. I think I'll keep her another twenty years...
Gosh, I love that woman.
