This week’s post will drop a bit earlier because by the time you read this I’ll either be on a beach in Mexico or en route. We’re taking a family trip and celebrating our five-year Wedding Anniversary. I thought I’d take a break from sports this week and discuss five things I’ve learned during my five years of marriage.
1. The first thing I’ve learned is what true support is and how necessary it is. To me support is not only being there for the other person, but it is also accepting everything that comes with them. My wife accepts me for who I am and all of the good and bad that comes with me. She is also incredibly supportive of me, my ideas, and my career choices. There is a special place in heaven for the wives of coaches. Our jobs demand a lot of time and sacrifice. I do my best to leave work at work but that’s not always possible. I try to be the best husband and father I can be, and that wouldn’t be possible without her support. I’ve also learned that I need to be a stronger and more consistent rock of support for her. Every good and lasting marriage must be built upon support of one another.
