Here it comes ladies. For lots of men, it’s one of the biggest Sundays of the year.
Another football season comes to an end, but, before you celebrate, how about taking the opportunity to build your marriage during the Big Game!
Instead of retreating with the ladies – or heading out to do something else… maybe this year, you should spend time with your husband and enjoy the game.
If football is your husband’s “thing” – he might be up for sharing it with you… especially if you can enjoy it just a bit… and remember… with the Superbowl – there are commercials you can talk about if you aren’t interested in the game!
The Superbowl is just an example. You may have missed out on other opportunities to bond with your husband throughout the season, or with other events and things that he enjoys. What else does your husband like to do that you can share with him?
You are your husbands mate. His partner. A fellow traveler on the journey of his life. You should share experiences together.
I am not saying it has to be sports, or sports related (even though the President and Mrs. Obama enjoy SportsCenter)… but lots of guys like sports. Maybe your guy likes theatre or underwater basket weaving. I don’t know. I’m just saying – there should be some connecting going on so you aren’t completely disconnected during important, or fun, things in his life.
That would be a bummer for your marriage.
I should say this though… He should join you on some things you like to do (and actively be involved – not just ‘present’) too. Marriage is a two way street.
Did I miss something here? Am I being too “pro” man?!?!

I agree completely with taking advantage of the opportunity for togetherness, even when the interest isn't necessarily a shared one. When my wife asked me what I thought of a certain period romantic English movie we recently shared together, I simply replied, “I enjoyed you enjoying it.”
