Marriage and Football

There is a popular saying that goes, "People are meant to be loved. Things are meant to be used. Many of our problems stem from a disturbance of this reality. People are used and things are loved."

The problem with loving things is that they don't love us back. The more we deny the reality that man and woman are made for each other the more we will see declining outcomes in our states, counties, cities and towns and our family. The more we deny a truth of something the more it will make it's truthful reality visibly known via negative outcomes, i.e. misery-alienation.

In short, men today need a purpose to their life. They no longer see married and family life as the ultimate profession. Chesterton would say this about family life: "The place where babies are born, where men die, where the drama of mortal life is acted, is not an office or a shop or a bureau." My family members are huge Green Bay Packer fans. This week the whole family came down with the flu. My wife was the last to get it and when my wife went down it was like loosing Aaron Rogers. She is the MVP of the team. I'm like Mike McCarthy, the head coach, and it's my job to put my wife and kids in the best position to succeed. I feel like I've been able to do that so far. It gives me great joy to see my family be healthy and successful.

I think men need to start giving the same time to their dating, marriage and family they way they give their time to fantasy football. Can you imagine what sort impact that would have on their (future) family team? Single men or married men need to start building their team. Not only is it good for the economy, since it's the smallest form of society, government, and church, but it is good for you too, see link above. The videos below explain the predicament of men and relationships. There are men out there today that are not even committed to putting together a team, and that is worse that being the Cleveland Browns!
