In the 52 plus years I have been married, I have never refrigerated peanut butter.
I keep it in the pantry, because when I want it, I want it now and I want it to spread. I prefer Jiff with chunks of peanuts. I have never had a jar go rancid. I buy only one jar and a small one, at a time. I use it for baking cookies too, so it does not last longer than six months or so.

On Jif's FAQ page they say it's
okay to store their peanut butter, once opened, about 3 months on the pantry shelf. http://www.jif.com/jif-faq
At Whole Foods where I personally grind my almond butter and peanut butter there's a note next to the nut grinding machine advising refrigeration due to the lack of salt, sugar, emulsifiers, stabilizers and preservatives. So that's why I refrigerate the freshly ground stuff.

Thank you everyone I'm just really cautious of most things since getting my organs better safe than
So, I am reading into this that the secret to a long, happy marriage is to not
refrigerate the peanut butter? : )
I actually never heard of refrigerating peanut butter. I am not really a fan, but would think that if it cold that it would not be creamy for a dressing or a sandwich...

From the point of food safety, refrigeration of nut butters is more a question
of not letting them go rancid rather than being "safe" to eat. There was a big recall of various nut butters last year for Salmonella. Refrigeration doesn't make any difference for something like that.
