Are You Too Competitive With Your Guy?
Competition in a couple isn't always the best idea.

Sports can be a bonding experience. Watching sports is a great way to pass a few hours together without having to pay any attention whatsoever to "togetherness." But even with both teammates playing at their selfless best, relationships are a three-legged race run over a mine-filled obstacle course while wearing flint-rock corduroys soaked in gasoline.
