Top 10 Plays

To start the season, here is an article bringing together marriage and sports.

Our marriages must always be bigger than Duke-UNC, Packers-Bears, and Yankees-Red Sox. You may not think so at the time of the game, but you didn't say "I do" to the Cameron Crazies, Aaron Rodgers, or Derek Jeter. Have you considered taking a timeout for a dinner-date with your wife? Do you have to watch the second quarter of the game when you could be a help around the house? How about going to bed at the same time instead of watching ESPN? This might be the last time of the day to connect before you return to the bedroom the next night at the same time. I encourage you to think twice about watching the top-ten plays of the week when you know you will see it the morning. She may already be asleep and then you've dropped her pass. The difference between victory and defeat is often determined by the team that finds a way to do the little things right. I encourage you to win the game of marriage by stepping up and seeking out the little things that will count the most. Trust me, you will be even be able to catch the fourth quarter and see the most exciting part.

Fourth and One in Marriage

Marriage is sweet, and after two years, I'm in deep. Marriage is an adventure and I signed up for life. My contract never runs out. The stakes are high. I am an athlete and a coach. I'm disciplined and Meg is spontaneous. She is creative and I'm focused. We are a team and making it work. We invest in each other during each season of life and I write to married couples and singles because dudes don't write about this stuff. Man-cave time and watching ESPN is still important, yet I'm even more into leaving behind a legacy through my marriage and family. It's about making a greater impact than any one game victory. It is not a question of what's my top priority. I know my wife and family are most important. Please read and comment, because I know you are interested.
