I love NFL football Sunday but need to make a choice?

Question

I am 6 months away from getting married, my soon to be bride, states she wants to be a born again christian, and Sunday is for the lord heavenly god.I have watched football and been a season ticket holder for 20 years. Now she tells me Sunday is our day to spend it with the church. and wants me to get rid of our tv as well. I am going crazy here.

Answer 1

Clearly you two have different priorities in life. If you get married, you both could end up pretty unhappy. Time to move on.

Answer 2

Sounds like you found the wrong woman bro.  She better be REALLY freakin hot.

But um, so it sounds like you don't really have a choice.  I believe you should be able to choose your own religion and go when you please.

So is the question should you marry her or watch football? that's tough but she sounds really controlling, I recommend trying to find a compromise, if you can't then you probably won't enjoy your marriage.

Answer 3

TIm, Tim, TIm...Sunday is for Football.

If your lovely wife wants to go to church, then she's free to. Just because she decided to be religious doesn't mean YOU have to. Religion is a personal experience after all.

And if she doesn't get that basic aspect of it then i fear that your marriage won't survive.

Answer 4

Look, I go to church every Sunday at 1045, and I get home by 12, central time, meaning I can come home and watch all 3 sets of NFL games.

Tell your lady she has absolutley lost her mind. God doesnt want you to ditch your TV, he just doesnt want you to abuse it, like dont spend all day in front of it.

Heck, the Priest at my church even talks to us about football during the sermon. Its not a sin to watch football on Sunday.

Dont get rid of your TV, dont get rid of your season tix, and watch football on sunday. If I were you, Id ditch the lady because she seems like a real headcase, no offense buddy. It seems like she wants you to ditch football for her, and the "born again christian" thing is just a schtick to get you to spend time with her.

Forget her, watch football!

Answer 5

CALL IT OFF!!.. She decided to marry you, for who you are. She cannot say now, "Oh, by the way before we get married, no more football, as a matter of fact, get rid of the t.v. period!".. Are you not the same t.v. watching, football loving man she fell in love with?

Unless she is able to maybe compromise and rotate football & church every other weekend, I do not see how it will work. I wish you both the best and hopefully you both will work it out.

Answer 6

Dont get Married to her bro...for real...

Answer 7

If you let her take football away from you then you might as well give up life because she will take everything from you bro. If you don't have kids with her you better get the h**l out of there. It ultimately is in you what happens I would stick with football though organized religion is just organized crime.  GO STEELERS!!!!!!

Answer 8

If she doesn't love you for who you are leave her. You had football before her, and you'll have football AFTER her. I told my girl that very same thing the FIRST day I met her. If you allow that she'll know she has you by the short and curley's for the rest of your life, and you'll become one of those weak men to take orders from your wife. Is THAT what you want out of life? Wouldn't you prefer someone who liked you for you and watched football WITH you?? She's still out there for you my friend, just waiting...juuuust waiting. MY advice is RUN as fast as you can. Call off the wedding. She's not worthy of you. REAL men watch football whenever they feel the urge. And if she can't appreciate your dedication to your football, she won't appreciate ANYTHING you do for her. Don't marry a woman because you've been with her for a long time, because "it's the right thing to do", marry her because she loves everything about you. I watch football EVERY Sunday in my house with my 4 kids (all by her) and my lady of 6 years (I would NEVER get married btw), and we laugh while the Daddy's team (Eagles) beat Mommy's team (Giants). THAT'S what you want. Someone to share in your passion for football. Go get her. She's waiting.

Answer 9

This is why I'm glad to be an atheist.  Tell your wife she can't force religion upon you.

Answer 10

i am born again christian and theres nottin wrong with tv just tivo it...it sucks but hey football doesnt matter in eternity

Answer 11

You should stick to nfl sunday ticket cowboys going 19-0

Answer 12

How about a compromise? That's what marriage is all about.  Tell her you'll go to church and that she can watch the game with you.  Don't know if she's ever watched a game or not, but I believe there are two kinds of people: those that are already fans, and those that want to be fans, but aren't yet because nobody has explained the game to them.  That's where you come in.  Once she watches a game or two with you explaining it to her, she'll be hooked! Tell her there are millions of fans already (women included), so there must be something to this game, right? Anyway, good luck.
