Jeopardy Brenda's Tips for a Better Marraige

LOVE HER LIKE YOU LOVE YOUR FAVORITE TEAM

1) KNOW HER STATS…. You know that Grady Sizemore’s 2006 batting average was 290 and that Gaylord Perry had an ERA of 1.92 in 1972, but you can’t remember her birthday, her favorite movie or favorite color. If you have to, write all of her info down on the back of her picture in your wallet… just like they do on baseball cards!

2) LISTEN TO HER AS CLOSELY AS YOU’D LISTEN IF IT WAS FOURTH AND ONE IN A TIED GAME WITH ONLY :30 SECONDS LEFT …. You don’t let your mind wander off during a close game, don’t let it wander when she wants to be close to you. Women expect you to remember everything they tell you. Five minutes of full attention, can earn you ten minutes of total quiet during a game.

3) YOU WEAR YOUR TEAMS COLORS PROUDLY, DO THE SAME WITH CLOTHES SHE BUYS YOU…. So, the shirt is a little too metro sexual for your taste, just wear it. She took the time to buy something nice for you, don’t disrespect her thoughtfulness. Besides, any man who can walk around wearing a Dawg mask, with a bone in his mouth, shouldn’t be embarrassed by a mauve polo shirt.

4) DON’T BE A FAIRWEATHER FAN… She’s been a little crabby lately. She’s in the middle of a big project and ignoring you. Or since the baby came, she doesn’t wear makeup or shave her legs as often. Did you walk away from the Browns after the fumble or the drive? No, you did not. Your loyal support means everything to her. Marriage is a like being a Cleveland sports fan… you’re in it for better or worse.

5) DON’T PLAY IN A FANTASY LEAGUE. There is no free agency in marriage. If things aren’t as exciting as they were when you first got married, find ways to spice things up with fun ideas like ten cent beer night or wearing the Dawg Mask to bed every now and then. Remember, if you’re looking for happiness, you should look no further than your own bullpen.
