I have often wondered when it was that we decided that “civil oversight” as one commenter put it equalled “marriage.” Who decided that it was the government who decided who is and is not married. Personally, I believe that marriage is a sacrament before God. Others, I know, don’t share that. Still, for all of us the question remains. Marriage is about commitment and not just a commitment to stay together but a commitment to build a good and growing loving relationship with your spouse. I love and respect my husband and he does the same for me.
I also agree with the commenter who talked about how men are stereotyped on TV and treated as if their different interests are inferior rather than merely different.
When my husband and I were newly married we moved to a new town for his schooling and so didn’t know anyone there for awhile. He still mentions from time to time what a gift it was that I put in the effort to learn what football was about and understand it enough to enjoy watching it with him. Now, of course, he watches it more often with guy friends who still have more enthusiasm about the game than I do, but we still enjoy watching the occasional game together.
Why do some women feel they have the right to complain so much about their husbands watching sports but the husband has no right to complain about their chickflicks or decorating shows?
