Lies Wives Believe
A Satirical Look at Married Life
College Football
Rachel gives us the first lie that wives believe, coming from a fictitious husband:
Hubby, on the first Saturday of college football season: "Don’t worry, sweetie, I’m only going to watch one game today."
The funny thing is, this one sounds awfully like a story that my pastor tells about when he got married. His wedding day was shortly before Jan 1st, and all of you that like to watch bowl games know that this was bound to cause a problem.
His family was used to watching all the games all day. His wife didn’t even know what football was. And they were on their honeymoon.
The truth is, that whether it’s football or some other thing that a husband wants to do, he’s saying part what he thinks you want to hear, part what he has set for a goal, and part what he knows (if he sat down to think about it) what will probably will not happen.

Oh that poor girl. I feel her pain! Thankfully my hubby is only a football junkie. I don’t know if I could handle it if this was a year-long deal!
And I actually don’t mind it too much, because I enjoy my share of college football games myself. But it is funny how men try to gloss over the fact that they’ve planned to spend their entire Saturday in front of the TV!

Or plans his wedding/honeymoon around the time of the bowl game. I mean, seriously. How did they both miss how much he liked football?
