It’s football season. From SNF (Sunday Night Football), MNF (Monday Night Football) to TNF (Thursday Night football) the week is full of pigskin.
When this time of year comes, most wives & some husbands retreat & pout. They begin to feel neglected. This should never happen in your marriage.
NFL-Never Forget to Love
In polling couples on my Facebook and on Twitter about football season and watching the games with their spouse the responses were just as diverse as our marriages are.
- 12%-No: don’t like to watch…don’t understand the game & have no interest in watching
- 64%-Yes we watch the game together…..We manage our own fantasy football teams….he has his team. She has her team. Friendly competition amongst the couples
- 34%-indifferent: the spouse can watch the game. The other spouse is just glad to be in the environment with their spouse. The nonfootball spouse still don’t watch or understand the game; however, just being in the room is all they need & want.
You know there are times that we will not want to do something your spouse enjoy. That is quite alrighT BUT you cannot & should not make your spouse feel bad about it. Them enjoying a favorite pastime does not mean they do not love you. The problem is when the pastime consumes their life
So when it comes to the NFL don’t fret. Use that time as your “ME” time & you guys meet up after the game goes off. Or you could sit in the same room & still work on what you like. Either way, don’t make your home tensioned reeled during the NFL season!
My spouse and I love everything about the football season. We have our individual team we cheer for & will partner up & cheer for other teams. Watch football together gives US something to do together & it’s quality time for us. Also, we are able to talk about other things that are not bill, children or even work related.
How do you and your spouse approach football season?
