For example, a coach will back into him or throw a dummy at
his feet to simulate the unpredictable situations a QB could face while trying
to throw.
According to Manning, as he spoke at Leadercast 2015, in
football as well as life, it is important to:
"Devote yourself to intense preparation"
None of us enters marriage thinking we're going to get
divorced or be unhappy like "that couple."
And when things come at us and cause a problem for our
marriage we think, "Hey, this is different" and we are thrown
off. We find ourselves in an unpredictable situation and suddenly we
can't "throw the ball" anymore.
How do you avoid this?
If you’re engaged or just in the early years of marriage,
now is the time to "devote yourself to intense preparation."
Build your values now.
What are non-negotiables for you and your spouse? What
are you about? These are the things that will hold you together when the
storms start blowing.
Build your relationship skills now.
How will you argue? Every couple will disagree.
That's what two real people in an intimate relationship do. Talk with
your spouse about the rules of that game. What will work to bring you
together in a fight instead of pushing you apart? Is there a way you can
be approached by your husband or wife when they are upset that will help you
listen well? Talk, talk, talk.
Build sweetness now.
Touch, speak kindly, open the door, compliment like crazy,
ask questions, make love. Build the
foundation of a tender relationship
so that those stones will be in place when the grit of life gets thrown between
you.
