At our Fantasy Football Draft I reminded the guys that every time we take on a new hobby, diversion, commitment, etc. something else has to give. I see people all the time who sign themselves or their kids up for one more activity without giving any thought as to what other priority they will cut back on to create the space to add something to their life. Oftentimes these new activities are "fun" or "valuable" so we are quick to add it because we want it or need it.
But when we add a new "fun" or "valuable"priority without having the space to add one more thing, what we thought was good turns out to be bad for us or our family. For instance, when men make college and NFL football a big priority or they play Fantasy Football, something else loses out and oftentimes that "something else" ends up being their marriage.
One way to prioritize your marriage men, is to buy and read the book called: For Men Only Revised and Updated Edition: A Straightforward Guide to the Inner Lives of Women, by Shaunti Feldhahn, Jeff Feldhahn. This book will help you be a better husband which hopefully will counteract the temptation to be a worse husband for the next 4 months. I'm giving this book to all the guys in my fantasy football league as part of their buy-in. It's an easy read and will be an eye-opener as to what our wives need from us!
