Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Question for guys with good wife

I bet those Alaska guys would appreciate a woman like that in the winter.

Not to get off topic, but you look completely different than I had envisioned Bristoe. I had envisioned someone more "curmudgeonly" looking, if that makes any sense.

This is a description of my wife . . . Proverbs 31

The Virtues of Noble Woman


10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Uh no.

I wasn't always all wore out. But I wore out long before she did. She keeps hangin' around, though, for some reason.

Like I said,...she's crazy.

Learn to cook and do laundry.

Even if you dont have to...know how.

Thats two less things she can negotiate with.


There is that third thing....you can do that yourself too.

I often see a correlation with having 50,000 gazillion posts on a hunting forum and having a shi tty marriage.

Have to chuckle sometimes.

Met mine at NYE party.
I was friggin' hammered, she hadn't had a drop.

Was married about 12 yrs when she went nuts.
5 yrs later she and the kids came back..........did not remarry her.
Been back another 11 yrs.
.
She might stay, might split............I dunno. Part of me cares, part of me doesn't.
