All the married ladies! And all the ladies with significant others. Put your hands up and let us talk.
My husband and I try to spend as much time together as we can and I really love it; those “times together” make everything perfect - - even when it’s not. Anyhow, I made a deal with him that on Sundays, he gets control of the remote. I thought this would be a great idea as I have the other six days to watch whatever I want (if I ever get in front of the television). We normally end up hanging out with each other anyway, but I just love the thought of having control of the remote. Well, when I made the deal, how was I to know that every sports event has its final showdown on a Sunday, and the only thing playing on our television would be sports related. The NFL, the NBA, Tiger Woods and all his buddies, it just never ends. Case in point: The Final Four! I watched so much basketball over the past two weeks I think I’m actually getting to like it. I was sitting there and found myself cheering for Syracuse wondering when the next game would be, and if we had that team in our bracket - - well…my husband’s bracket. What is happening to me? I’m becoming a sports nut because of this man! He hasn’t become a Top Chef nut. Does he know who the final four are on Project Runway? He doesn’t even know that Bringing Home Baby can be seen twice a day on TLC (please don’t ask how I know that!). Help me ladies. Should I just accept it and become a sports wife nut, or should I fight this foe and take back control of my Sunday remote ☺?

Lol. You could've given him Saturday. Nothing good really comes on then. I think it's only fair that you give into it. It's something else that you guys can share. Maybe one day he'll find himself liking one of your favorite programs.
Blessings to you and yours!

Hello Heather........I was looking for a song called Jesus Is Love, by Lionel Richie and I came across your page. I read your blog and felt the need to comment. My husband and I are newly weds and spend all of our free time together. We met over two years ago on MySpace and communicated via internet and phone including the last 16 months he spent serving in Iraq. During this time we learned to communicate in a way that has been the foundation of our (new) marriage. I moved from Canada to Texas to marry a man I had never met in person. We both have a personal relationship with Christ and our relationship and decision making was based on our faith and what we believed God had planned for our future. We got married January 24, 2009 and we are VERY HAPPY and excited about our future together. What is my point?? Well, I think it is a very admirable (yet minimal) thing to allow your husband control of the remote on Sundays. I also think that the fact that you are giving him control (even if it is just a remote), you are telling him that you trust his judgment and you are allowing him to lead. A strong woman is sometimes a threat to the man in her life and if you do little things like giving him the remote, you are giving a message that is non-threatening to him. He will only love you more. I have started to watch and grow fond of basketball and dare I say it . . .
wrestling!

I think it's great that you have something in common lol... That's how I see it.
Maybe you should rotate Sundays ya know? Or pick one day where you also get control of the remote lol! But what matters is the quality time

Heather, I'm biased because I love sports to begin with, but if you enjoy time with him and vice versa then if you learn to enjoy what he enjoys---well, I think he has to sit through Project Runway for you!! That's only fair. I bet though if you continue to watch sports your interest will grow no matter which sport it is. Ps, baseball is about to start and if course football is right around the corner too...ok. Sorry about that!! Good luck.

This man has to chime in...I think you should let him have the remote on Saturday's too. College Football is just as important. You still get it 5 days a week.

I saw you on Jay Leno for the first time, march '09. I was TOTALLY and COMPLETELY blown awy by your voice. I grew up in the 70's and I am accustomed to artist who can actually sing and musicians who play. I have my headphones on at 12:55 am, pacific time. I have played that song at least 20 times. I am going out tomorrow and buy the cd. My grandmother raised me and this song so reminds me of her and me. I am a screenwriter, living in L.A.. I am currently working on a WWII love story about an african community. I also write lyrics. Anyway, I am a HUGE NFL fan and have been for years. I watch it by myself. I also love boxing and MMA. Maybe one day we can work together. Your voice makes my soul dance.......Take Care,......gloria......

Yes sugah accept it and buy another TV…lol that’s what I did, but the funny thing about that is they think they can take control of all the remotes even the special one you bought for yourself…ha. But I am cool with it; I just do other things and ck on him every now and again. You know... a couple of baskets or see if they make a touchdown make a few comments here and there and he is cool. (I heard him tell his brother the other day…”Me and Baby watch the game” but I think I seen a total of 5-7 mins of it)… wink…. So girl let him have it…. He will feel special…. (That’s what I have learned out of 25 years of marriage…lafn….
)

Marriage is about sharing...enjoying the other's passion for things that you normally wouldn't think of.......I say, accept it and then encourage him to get into what you like (after the playoffs are over!!!). If he hesitates a little, gently remind him of how you learned to enjoy what he likes. Reciprocity works every time.......Good luck!!

Mind made up, going for it all...

 
Heather, as a man we are expected to take an interest in everything our women do, say. read. and watch. We are supposed to notice every little thing and remember every little detail. Is it too much to ask for our women to watch a game with us? To show a little interest in one of the few enjoyments that us men have? I think it is great that you are starting to enjoy the games. I wish my special lady would watch games with me. She falls asleep on them, and gets on the phone and really shows no interest in them. I would love for her to cheer on my favorite football team (the only sport I do bother to watch). In short, I do not see how it could possibly hurt your relationship to enjoy something that your husband enjoys with him. Let him have his joy, and be a part of it. If he didn't
enjoy you taking part in watching the games with him then, I could understand you second guessing it, but since you didn't mention it don't try to fix what isn't broke.

New Book Out! "Laying My Past to Rest"
Gerron DelValle

 
......Watching the Game

....I don't understand
It never really been this hard
I just flipped on the TV
Flopped on the sofa
And watched the game
Now watching the game
Brings a mental strain
Because when I flip
Before I can flop
I hear, "GERRON!"
Sound like Edward Scissors Hand
Writing on a chalkboard
Sound like someone parking
An '83 Accord
The Echo is more horrific
With the thought of missing a highlight
"Baby I am watching the game!"
"But this is supposed to be our night"
Your middle name should be "the game"
So your maiden name could be
Kenya "the game" Blocker
What the game every do to you?
I want you to vow
When the game comes on
Nothing will suddenly come up
Don't turn my fight night
Into a blockbuster night
I was raised loving sports
For better or for worse
I do anything for my woman
But I am not giving up my games
Or carrying her purse
Please play your role
You had the whole season
But you decided to ask questions
During the Super Bowl
Now you know that's foul
I want to watch the game whenever I please
I'm not throwing in the towel
But she is putting the full court press on me now
So when you see me tomorrow
Don't even mention the game
Because when Lebron was scoring 63
I was spooning with wifey
Watching Thelma and Louise
Somebody bury me please...

This is the poem I recite any time my wife disturbs me while I am watching a game. She hates this poem! LOL..
