When we were dating, I told her that I loved sports. She said that was super fun and that she would like to watch games with me. We went to a lot of sporting events and watched a lot of games together.

After we got married, she would say things like: "Hey, some friends want to get together." And I'd say, "I can't, there's a game on." She didn't realize that the sports viewing wasn't just something we did as an excuse to be together, it was actually something that I really want to do. It surprised her that I'd rather watch a team that I cared about than hang out with her friends or my family.

She's stopped being surprised, but it still bugs her. We've reached a much better place regarding when I just need to suck it up and try to be happy, and when we just won't go somewhere because a team I care about is playing.

The moral of the story is this: Some of us have wives that are awesome but don't share the same passion for BYU football, and we're still figuring it out. But, watching the games together probably isn't going to happen.
