This was brought up in another thread here. So, what are traits of the Warrior spouse?
My newest candidate is a trauma nurse. With all the random injuries around here, she fits well. Not to mention she is also a beautiful woman and person. She likes Blood and guts, guns and AMOK ( conceptually at this point). She can drive a stick and run a grill, and sew me up when I have an oops ( more often than I like to admit). She can hold a conversation about more than purses and nail polish, and looks at hunting as an opportunity for an anatomy lesson. She can dress up and go formal, and run a chainsaw beside me in the yard.
Nobody tell her anything, it might scare her away. But she MIGHT be a keeper.

But what is she doing with you????? Sounds in deed like a keeper. I got one pretty close to that in the Ole Heifer! What are you going to do to keep her around???

Sounds like she has a whole lot going for her. I think Louis L'Amour would probably be proud to call her a Sackett Woman. That's an impressive list of positive qualities; are there any negatives? If not, I'd say you've found your keeper.

Marry her...QUICKLY...
A warrior wife is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

A warrior wife has qualities that allow her warrior to be a warrior and keep his mind on the battle until it is won. He fights more fiercely, and more bravely and with more endurance because of her. And when he returns home, it is in her arms he feels most at peace.

^^^^^^ That. Well said!! You just described my wife better than I ever could, and I'm pretty good with words.
Tracker, sounds like an amazing woman. But enough about what she has to offer you. What do you have to offer her? Serve, love, honor, respect her as if she's the daughter of a king that hasn't given you her hand yet. Be worthy of her.
I married a nurse--I HIGHLY recommend marrying a nurse. :wink:

A Warrior Wife needs to be a Warrior Mother, too, if children are present (or will be in the future).
My wife is a kind loving woman. But IF you mess with the cub, she will turn into a lioness or mother bear and Heaven help you!
A warrior wife in addition to the traits mentioned also enthusiastically attends SI courses with you. :kiss:

Lots of good attributes already mentioned.
Let's not forget a sense of humor. And you better have one yourself, because most of the time she'll be laughing at you and the messes you get yourself in to.

Heck yeah she does! Or she makes YOU go! LOL
A warrior wife is supportive to her warrior mate. She gets him what he needs and gives him the support he needs to do what he needs to do. As someone already mentioned- she doesn't mess around when you mess with the family. She makes sure that her mate knows that she needs him, while at the same time being able to fend for herself (or provide cover and assistance) if need be.
My warrior (future) wife attends SI classes with me, including Shotgun Gunfighting... where she ran a 12ga pump better than most of the guys. :inlove:

I suggest Proverbs 31.
That said, make sure she knows who you are, and isn't going to try to emasculate you or otherwise disrespect who you are at your core.
Asking advice of your trusted friends is good, seeking God's face is even better. Do both.

Twice during the 34 years we've been married I have been in a situation where I did not know whether the other folks would be walking/driving home or getting carried off. Both times, when I was sure everything was going to be okay, I've turned around to find my wife standing there a few steps behind me with a pistol in her hands. When I asked her what she was doing with a the pistol her reply was that she was not going to allow anyone to hurt me and if they needed to be shot then she was willing to do that to keep me safe.
That's all I need to know. Oh, I weigh more than 2X what she weighs and usually no one bothers me.

This. My wife knew what she was getting the whole time we were dating.(a looong time.don't ask.)
I spent a lot of years getting myself back to life from my death experience and was content to work on myself and see what I was made of. Having a wife with or without kids was far,far into the future. Once we met I searched myself and did a LOT of praying asking The Lord if this is what He wanted. Once I got my answer it was full tilt boogie and I have never looked back!
To the OP, Judomayhem is wise. Ask the Lord and He will let you know if she is to be.
Personally,why haven't you scarfed her up?:thinking:
Oh, by the way, I married up and make no bones about it!

Timely thread for me, as I just gave a ring to my girlfriend of three years. I figured if she is still in the hunt after that much time, she is a keeper. I have been divorced since 1992 and I was thinking I would never find the right one...you never know when you will find the right one, but you will know it right away when you do!

That was me, too. It took me 55 years to find someone that I could put up with, who could also put up with me. She may not be perfect (I know for dang sure that I ain't!), but she's the best deal I could ever have hoped to find. She doesn't share some of my interests, but she doesn't complain about 'em, and that works both ways for us. She may lack some of the more physical Sackett Woman traits, but she has just about all of the important ones - more than any other woman that I ever got close to considering for a long-term relationship.

When you have found her, you know it from the begining. Found mine 18 years ago.

That sounds exactly like my wife...And yes, I am gonna keep her!

mine is going to get asked the question in the near future i think. not only is she on par with the traits discussed, she is the only girl i have been with who came to me one night very troubled and asked me somthing so intimate i knew it would be her. "i want an AK but cant decide which one to get. Can you help me pick it out?" "yes, of course sweetheart. this is a catalogue from Arsenal Inc..."

Today is 11 years to the day that me and my wife started dating... Our five year anniversary is coming up next month... She is without a doubt the one God made for me... She is the opposite of me in all the right ways and let's me be.the warrior I have found I need to be... As long as I don't go crazy with the spending...
For me good with money was important... I have always made.good money, always worked but i always spent a lot of it... She has helped us save up money... Which is just part of her genius...
Live, Laugh, Love. If that doesn't work, Load, Aim and Fire. (repeat as necessary)

My wife went to the range with me today. It is the first time in her life to EVER shoot a gun of any kind. She did very well for a first timer. She enjoyed it and wants to go back again. I knew I found a keeper. It just took way to long to get her to start shooting things.
