How to Get Your Wife to Let You Go Fishing
Following are a few tips for how to get your wife to let you go fishing. The key here is to treat your wife with care and respect, not just to try to snowball her into letting you go. Also, you can substitute other pastimes for fishing, if that’s what you prefer to do.
1. Marry someone who likes to fish. This means spending quality time together, and that you’ll have someone to take pictures of the fish! Note that on a worldwide basis, this will only apply to. oh say, about 3 anglers; good for you! Now, for the rest of you, just keep reading these tips.
2. Be proactive. Plan in advance. The bigger the trip, the further in advance you would need to plan. For example, if you want to go on a big trip in June, you probably would want to broach the subject with your wife by the end of the previous year, if not further in advance. Oh, yeah, and don’t go fishing on Mother’s Day, anniversaries, birthdays, etc.
- 3. Cater to her maternal instincts by taking the kids. If you have children, get them involved in fishing. The sooner you start taking the kids, the sooner you stop being a deadbeat husband, and start being a great Dad. Now, instead of abandoning her each week, you’re giving her time to herself while the kids get to have fun with Dad.
- 4. Meet her needs first. Don’t plan your own trip, until you’ve planned or gone on your family vacation, date night with your wife, etc. Otherwise, she feels like an afterthought. If you have the money, let her go shopping while you go fishing. Also, make sure she is well rested. Special treats, such as chocolate or massages, can go a long way as well.
- 5. Make it profitable. If you can find a way to earn a few bucks while fishing, you will have a good reason to go.
While these tips will not guarantee marital bliss and trout fishing both, they will go a long way! Trust me, I’ve learned to be cagy the hard way! I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can add to this list, please use the contacts form.
