Tonights feature night is a chance for us all to say thank you to our spouses. My beautiful wife has put up with me for 36 years. She never asks for anything,,always thinks of others first. Everyone,its time to say thank you to yours!
 
Good idea! But I will have to log off and do it in person. She NEVER comes to this site.
Does deserve praise though. Been with her almost 20 years and have known her for more than 50. And she still married me!
 
Goin on 37 years now.

Wow! We've been married 36 years, you described my wife exactly. Nicest person I've ever known.
 
32 years she's the best! Gave me 2 wonderful daughters! Her job in town vanished 3 years ago and we have been side by side since. My arthritis and back give me so much trouble that I don't think I could farm it without her.
 
Hi, been 35 yrs for me. She works like hhhl. Sure appreciate her but don't tell her often enuff. Ed Will
 
Late 1966. Friend was driving my GTO,I was in the passengers seat. Pulled into the local pizza shop . He says Hey, I know those girls. Pulls in beside them,I am three feet from the driver. She rolls up her window and locks her door. I do the same thing. After a few minutes we start chatting, I was "swept off my feet"! She was a down to earth country girl who wasn't impressed by my GTO. It was probably two months before I got up courage to ask her out.We dated for a year, were married Jan 13,1968. A son and a daughter, 4 grandkids,She is a terrific cook ,takes care of everyone before she thinks about herself.Still washes dishes by hand, hangs laundry in the back yard,picks up grandkids after school, always ready for an emergency picnic.Just when I think it couldn't get any better, it gets better.I am blessed beyond reason. Sam Womer(PA)
 
Mine has been with me 28 years last Saturday. She stuck with me through the good times and the bad. I don't know what I would do without her. I can remember year's ago when we were trying to just get ahead and I would work 16 hour shifts she would hear my old truck pull up in the yard and she would meet me at the back door and want to know if I wanted to eat before I crawled in the bed. Sometimes that was 6 days a week. I can't ever repay her for what she has done or what she has put up with over the last 28 years.
 
58 years later this month. 4 kids, 12 grandkids 2 great grandkids. Wonderfull woman from the old school.
 
(quoted from post at 23:13:33 05/04/16) I think that that is a very nice thing to do. I can't because I haven't had one for 16 yrs.

I can't eather, we missed our 30'th anniversary by bit over a month.
 
On the 14th we will be married 42years She is AWESOME three kids six grand kids thinks of everyone before herself.
 
We're 46 years last month. Takes a pretty good woman to put up with me for that long. Thanks Linda.
 
February was 24 years for us. SWMBO puts up with me, that means she has the patience of a saint. She is my number 1 helper, works the cattle with me, helps with the household repairs and is my full time hay raker.
 
42 years and counting. My wife has always supported me in every thing I do.
She is the hardest working woman I know. I met her in college and knew I wanted to marry her as soon as I met her.
Raised 2 fine sons.
Spends every evening in my shop with me.
Has traveled to the mid west many times with me to buy old tractors and other farm equipment.
She gets upset if I sell a tractor.
Great cook. Sews and quilts in her sewing room off the back of may shop.
Grew up on a farm and used to drive the mules pulling a wagon while her Grandpa picked corn.
Grew tomatoes to sell to buy her school clothes.
Has worked 31 years at a doctors office and I am trying to get her to retire.
I could go on and on, but we just came up from my shop and it is time to shower.
Richard in NW SC and a VERY LUCKY MAN
 
Nancy and I just celebrated 28 years together.

Made this video for her on <a href="https://youtu.be/0dN1JimE_0M">our 25th anniversary</a>.

Lyrics of the song tell the story.
 
Terri and I have our 32ed in two weeks, woman is a saint, for all the tractors,trucks, and dogs I have dragged in.
 
Met my wife when I was 16, we started going steady at 18 and married at 21. She was a city girl, I was a farm boy. Well she has been the farmers wife now 34 years come this November. Her name is Genevieve. We have three sons, and a herd of milk cows , to keep is amused. Genevieve is a Librarian, and works in town, but comes to the barn every morning with me. She keeps house, does the books, and keeps tabs on me.(no small job). Helps pick stones, wrap hay, and even brings me a cold one once in a while. Oh ya , makes great pies too, think I'll keep her. Did I mention that she is a cute little thing? And just 5'2". Ya I guess I am going to keep her. Bruce

My wife and I have been married 49 years. I don't know how she put up with me that long! She has no idea how many tractors I have.
 
June 24 will be 49 years for us. I would pick the same one again. I moved her from downtown Atlanta to 12 miles from anywhere. We still go pretty much everywhere together. I wouldn't have thunk it back then. If you have a good one , be good to her. Tommy
 
27 years for us. We married late I guess. I was 28. My family was always asking when I was going to find a gal and settle down. I told them I couldn't hardly take care of myself let alone a wife and kids.
We dated in high school and moved on and got back together later and tied the knot. It's been good. She has had to put up with allot and hangs in there with me good and bad. She deserves an award for sure.

Just passed 17 years for us. I've been telling her from the start that this is just a short term thing til I find someone better.
 
Wife and I both raised in a small town and have relocated numerous times due to job requirements and she never complained. Will be married 49 years in August, she raised 2 sons and a husband. We retired to the country 5 years ago and love it.
 
The Mrs. and myself---42 yrs. last March 30. We took the whole family to Vegas 2 yr. ago. Elvis remarried us-NASCAR race and kids bought us a shooting package--Bullets and Burgers. 50 mi. out in the desert. This is the wife getting final instructions before shooting AK-47----Tee

My wife and I rode the same school bus for 7 years, I'm 5 yrs older than she is. I've known her along time. Married for 52 years. 3 children, 12 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren with 2 more on the way. She spent a lot of time raising those kids alone because I worked all of the 3 shifts a long way from home. She is the gardener and a really good cook. The house is always spotless, Last year when my son was out, he dropped some cookie on the floor, he said he was going to throw it out til he remembered where he was. The small bldg. on the left side of the picture is her chicken house. the red one is the neighbors. She doesn't complain about 9 tractors on 1/2 acre either.

My wife has an award winning mustache...
is NOT really a very good cook...
but can swing-cock a Winchester...
and take a tractor apart and put it back together. LOL

Seriously now...
My husband has always been a very hard worker. Many years of 50-60 hours a week... and after coming home from work, he headed out to do hog chores and then out to the field as needed, or into the shop if something needed fixing. He has done major work on every out-building on our farm.

He gave me the blessing of being home with our kids for about 6 years after our third child was born. (I did daycare for one family in our home during that time - but it didn't seem like work.)

He has always been a great teacher - whether teaching me or our kids something. Great to explain stuff, then give a person the confidence to tackle the task. He has always enjoyed spending time with me and our kids and just loves this old farm and our old tractors.

He's a one man show for carpentry, welding, mechanics, wiring, plumbing... you name it - he can do it or he'll learn how.

We will both be the first to admit it hasn't always been a bed of roses (we're both about as strong willed as two people can possibly be)... but definitely FAR more good times than bad. AND it seems the longer we are together, the more our friendship grows. Also he's a funny feller and laughter is always a good thing.

Here is the young man I married. Seems like yesterday - but it was over 30 years ago.

Looks like I'm the newlywed here with only 10 years! But it's been a good 10 years, this one is a keeper. Don't know what I'd do without her!

As it should be in all marriages, the most important person in my life. Shown here the two of us visiting Uncle Cristy O'Connor's room at the Royal Dublin Golf Coarse. The second is taken with our youngest daughter.

This November we will be married 50 very good years and two sons. Just a pretty good woman and a hard worker. Run our own business for 23 years and she put in just as many hours or more then me. She had cancer 11 years ago and a stroke. She beat it, but paid the price. Can't walk very good, no energy and sugar diabetes. Thank God I am blessed with good health.
 
Well, while we aren't married, yet, I feel that Casey and myself should be a part of this!

We have been together for a year and a half. We will both be 18 soon, and plan on spending the summer together doing who knows what! She made me promise to teach her how to plow though, so, I guess thats where we will start! She learned how to hand start a Farmall C the other day! ;)

Very proud to call her mine. Hope this "feeling" lasts for a LONG time! Bryce

28 years this year....anyone who lets their hubby collect close to 100 tractors is a saint LOL!
 
My dear wife and I have been married 47 years the 6th of september. She has appeared in a few of the tractor show pictures. We grew up in the same area and she was 15 and I was 16 the first time I asked her for a dance date. After that we just belonged together. She was 1 year behind me in school so she went to college for a year after high school while I was in Vietnam. We got married 5 days after I got back.

Bryce has my support!
 
The Crazy Horse Lady. She's never very far from a horse. Married 45 years, its been a good run.

This is my wife. September 19th will be a year. Pic was taken a couple days after our wedding. We came home from the honeymoon to bale, no one could help stack that evening, so I put her in the seat, showed her how to use the power director, told her no sharp turns, started her off, and away we went. She did as good as anyone I've ever had help me before, and it seems only fitting that the first tractor she drove helping me was the tractor (and baler) she "nudged" me into buying shortly after we started dating.. That's when I decided she was a keeper. I did kinda mislead her that evening.. I asked did she want to ride along while I went and finished the last couple rounds.. Had she known I was gonna stick her with driving she might have stayed back at the house lol.

I don't know that we'll live to see 40 or 50 years together, seeing we are both in our mid 30's, but I'll be thankful for every day we get. We make a pretty good team.. We "push" each other to pursue our dreams in life, and we support each others goals in life.. She also pushes me to do the things I should have been doing all along, like mowing the grass before it's long enough to bale (which I explain by baling it it helps the profit margin, but she won't buy it!), keeping the "junk" hidden behind the barn (the actual junk.. not the usable equipment so much), going to church on Sunday (life did seem to improve once I started attending regularly again), and not leaving my dirty clothes and boots in the middle of the kitchen floor (creates a trip hazard, or so I am told).

I've learned a few things since I've been married too.. Like I don't know how to do laundry.. Even though I bought the washing machine before we even met, I have been banned from using it.. Something about I'm not supposed to wash pocket knives and wrenches with my pants. In fact, I've kinda found out all of my "domestic skills" were NOWHERE NEAR as good as I had once thought they were lol! I also found out my "bachelor" decorating and all the free furniture I had accrued over my single years was sorta unacceptable. Although function of the furniture was ok, I guess fashion is also supposed to come into play too (who woulda thought?!?).

I tried to add some comedy along with my seriousness most the way through my rambling, but in all seriousness, had my wife not come into my life 3 years ago this October, I wouldn't be where I'm at today. I'm very glad when I got to the "Y" in the road, I went towards her direction and not the direction I had been heading in.

Thanks for the post, and allowing me to ramble on.
Brad

 
Here is my wife it's been 19 good yrs. the ugly one is me. for some reason I was only able to download the one picture I had one of her on the tractor but couldn't down load it.

My lovely wife Debbie whom married me on June 7,1980...She has been a loyal and loving wife and I don't know what I would do without her....She said don't you dare use a current picture so this one goes back over 30 years..Any woman that lets a guy collect old tractors and tractor pull has to be great...

My wife has been with me for 12 years. She's the best thing to ever happen to me! Not a farm girl yet. That's okay, we're not on a farm...yet. :)
She's a partner on the journey. Not the same person I married but better! Growing at the same pace I am.
 
My wife died 4 years ago yesterday, cancer. love them wile you can we never know the bell tolls for us. we were married 47 years 5 mouths to the day. i miss her more every day
 
I realize this is a bit late, but wanted to say my wife is the best thing in my life. I have a good outside job, a small farm and some registered limousin cows. We met January of 1982 and married in April 1982, she wasn't a farm girl per say but had wanted to be one. She has put up with me, which says a lot for her. To Sharon, thanks for everything.
