I value my wife way more than the pin collection and can honestly say that collecting has made our marriage even stronger. It is the first hobby that we both truly enjoy, aside from pin parties and league I really only play when we both can usually Fri-Sat nights--pinball a few cocktails, time together de-stressing after a long work week it doesn't get any better. While she always has supported my previous interests, mainly off-roading Jeeps and quads she didn't have any interest in participating.
