Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I Did NOT Fall in Love With My Wife

My cousin learned about the toilet seat the hard way.. His wife went into the bathroom to do her thing and didn't bother to turn the light on, She got a wet ass and he didn't get any ass for a week..

Take heart....you are not alone.

There sure isn't anything wrong with falling in love. But you gotta be darned particular about who you fall in love with.

Several girls gave me plenty of chances, or even encouraged me to fall in love with them. But they were easily culled as not fit to be a proper mother, or a good and faithful wife.

Then I met a girl who did meet those criteria, and I quickly became enamoured. That was in '82. I am grateful that she still allows me to love her.

Arent women always? And thats why they are the boss, regardless of Ephesians 5:22, or should i say, in spite of it?

Too much to read. My wife and have always enjoyed our marriage and since I retired we are enjoying one another more than ever. I cannot imagine a better life.

I think it took me TWO times but we're going on 45 years. I don't think two times in 45 years is too bad

I enjoyed the read. Perhaps I was lucky with my girlfriend. We fell in love in high school. I knew she was the one for me. Infatuation turned in to real love as I realized real love is a decision. We've been married about fifty-two years; of which fifty-one have been happy. After about a year we went through some rough time. I decided no matter what it took we would get through it. I was called P.W. by a few guys. Now some are on third wife.

Just wondering, is love worth anything if the guy wont submit, or is it then a moot point?

You married?

Too few know happiness lies in real love and put more importance on getting their way and then wonder why they arent happy.

He wished for us to have happiness, and for that reason He said

"Above all things, love one another", not get your way.

i tolerate mine.

I guess I was very lucky. I was one of those that fell in love and knew I would marry her literally the first time I saw her face. It was the only time I have heard The Good Lord direct a comment in my direction...."She's the one....she was worth the wait wasn't she?"

Married 38 years so far. Drop dead gorgeous, smart, insanely sweet, patient with my hunting pursuits and zero snakes in her head. No idea what I did to deserve her.

Love is forgiveness, its what christians ultimately hope to obtain from Jesus, right?


sure it can make sense, a person might at that moment may recognise something that will be good in their life.
bit like finding your first promising fresh tracks on a hunt....and the Lord works in mysterious ways, right?


God says he is a selfish God. .and humans being only human can be selfish also, right?
the right kind of selfishness might well be good for a marriage.


If a person has erred, then its probably good to move on. Mankinds life is full of erring, its unavoidable.
scripture says the real treasure of life is about the getting/gaining of wisdom through life experiences.


Jesus was adopted by Joseph..and Jesus was the son of a single mother.
nothing horrific about it, nor is the same thing necessarily horrific in the lives of mankind.



If one is a true christian, they should be following the NT great commandment:
MATTHEW 22:
"36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment."

If you are not putting the Lord Jesus first & foremost in your heart , then its a case of the 'cart before the horse.'
1600+ views...yet the christians on 24CF didnt pick up on something so vital & critical to their faith..?.....go figure.


Mary joined with Joseph out of worldly practical reason, due to her social-community difficult circumstance as a young unmarried pregnant girl.
Like Mary, people can and do 'profit' from marriage more than just financially. God profits when christians do what pleases him. Christians hope
to profit/benefit in the day of final judgement by receiving Gods grace ..Even a spiritual based marriage is a contract entered into where one is
expected to uphold their end of the pledge to benefit/profit spiritually .It also has conditions, just like A christians relationship with God has
conditions layed down by God.

Major Truth in that article..


I married a woman so great that the toilet seat topic has never come up in 42 years. I pretty much leave it where I leave it, and she already knew how to put it down when I got her. ;-{>8
