Discipline Required

A high level of discipline is fundamental for our success as athletes. To take your relationship from good to great, you need to realize personal discipline in your home is just as important as spending hours in the weight room or on the practice field. It requires discipline to run sprints until you can’t find any more air to breathe. Discipline is what gets you out of bed at 5:30 am to train. Discipline is also demanded when washing the dishes, making the bed, or folding the clothes after arriving home after a difficult day at work. That’s when the discipline of service and love take over. You have invested so much in your relationship. Without the discipline of service, aspects of your relationship will be mediocre. Who wants average when pursuing greatness? You want success in your marriage and on the field. Pursue discipline in both and then you really can make an impact.

  1. You make some great points here. Even those that are not yet married need to practice discipline as you described in your post. It keeps you sane and helps you stay focused on your priorities. And I'm sure your wife appreciates your help!
