       When attending the Amish-Mennonite church, a peer brought up this very concern, wherein he confessed to the speaker in a one-on-one conversation that he had been spending too much time hunting. He was a younger fellow, and had only been married a year. But he relayed he liked to go hunting on Friday evenings and also during the day on Saturday, leaving his wife home alone. And he felt bad about it, saying he needed to take into account his wife’s feelings, and spend increased time with her. And that’s what the speaker re-iterated to him, that he was correct in his assessment. Sometime later, perhaps a couple months later, the issue was brought up again, wherein the guy didn’t actually realize he was doing it again—that he was spending too much time away from his wife. And the speaker pointed that out to him, and it is believed he made the correction. For the relationship seemed to grow stronger after that. So, hobbies, if done by oneself or with guy-friends, can become an issue if done too excessively.
