good write up with some sound advice.but i always like to mention you dont have to make "getting them to go" a mission in your relationship. ive been married for a while (not as long as some but longer than maybe others) and my wife and i have had a very successful marriage,one of the main reasons is that we allow each other to be who we are and love one another for that.we dont try to change the other or persuade the other over to our side or to be interested in what interest us.we share common interest and we have our own passions as well. i just mention this because of how i came about learning it.dont put too much emphasis on getting your wife to go hunting and being discouraged if she doesnt.or worse yet let that be the start of a wedge between you two.my wife has never hunted a day in her life,she never will.yet i am in the field constantly and have a ridiculous gear obsession, she is always in support of both and has yet to nag or try and stop me from doing what i do (god bless her) the reason for this however is the mutual respect and earnest care for each other and there interests that we share for one another. invite your wife/girlfriend to go,always make sure she knows the option to come is open.do your self a favor and dont make it a mission to "get your wife to go" just paying forward some lessons learned to a young guy out there that may benefit from it. still though read the article,its a good one
