Did you hear about the husband who was a big basketball fan? One day, his wife cuddled up next to him on the couch, put her arms around him, and asked, “Sweetheart, do you love me more than basketball?” Puzzled, the guy thought about it for a moment, then said, “College or NBA?”
Guys, take a hint: joking with your wife like this won't score you ANY points!

One final thought. If you want to speak romance to your husband or wife, it’s may mean giving up an all-consuming, passionate pursuit of a hobby, a job, or (yes), even basketball.
I’m Dennis Rainey, and that’s Real, Sacrificially Romantic FamilyLife.
