Off-Season Tradition: Marriage Renewal

SportsLeader has an off-season tradition called the Coaches Marriage Renewal evening ... the basic gist of it is:

1. Gather coaches and their spouses either at a restaurant or a private home

2. Dinner or coffee

3. Each coach gets up in front of the small group, grabs a rose and publicly brags on his wife. "Honey, I love you, I'm proud of you, you're beautiful, I appreciate  all the sacrifices you make for me, etc.

4. Each coach speaks for 5 or so minutes and then hands his wife the rose, a hug and then another coach goes.

5. After all have spoken bring out a wedding style cake ..

Here is a short video by way of example http://sportsleaderusa.blogspot.com/2010/03/coaches-wedding-renewal.html

This is an opportunity. Many times in the coaching profession marriages suffer due to the time commitment, etc. The better husbands and fathers we are - the better coaches we will be.
