Getting Lucky

I know that a lot of veteran cachers will know exactly what I am talking about in this post. A lot of times when one person in a relationship likes caching the other one does not. Now this is not accurate in all accounts, but I have definitely come across my fair share of combinations of haters and embracers. Now, I fully understand the main cause for it. In a lot of the cases I have seen it is a husband and wife and they usually have a family. Now either the husband or the wife enjoys caching while the other feels like they have to take care of the family while the husband/wife goes geocaching. I can totally see where they are coming from, but I also wish that the people who disliked it would just give it a chance. I realize that some families have small children. That may be a time to relax from the sport. However, the beauty of geocaching is that it does not seem to be disappearing anytime soon. When your child/children have grown a little I think it is a great idea to begin showing them the activity of geocaching. In my opinion it is completely possible for everyone to enjoy caching if gone about correctly. I know it is hard to teach and old dog new tricks, but I also know that it is possible. This is exactly where I got lucky. The first time I showed my girlfriend geocaching she fell in love with it just as much as me. We knew we liked it so much that we are now listed as our own name, PuzzlePiece915. It has been something that has brought us together even more and we vow to keep doing it as long as possible. I guess my main hope for you cachers who have a hater in the household to stay strong and hope everything will work itself out. This is way too exciting of a hobby to just let it go by the wayside if you really do enjoy it.
