Kurtz, Archdiocese of Louisville The Marriage Playbook The Marriage Playbook Let me just be straight forward in saying that the Marriage Playbook™ was truly written with husbands in mind. If we can get men passionate about their marriage, we hope the women will follow. We are not going to sugar coat that at all. Husbands are to be the head of the house, the spiritual leader and the provider; yet so many husband's slack on that responsibility. The idea behind the marriage playbook is to speak 'guy talk' to guys about their marriage so that they can be the head-leader-provider that they were called to be. If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail! The Marriage Playbook™ is designed to help you create an offensive and defensive plan for your marriage. The Marriage Playbook will help you find ways to Scrimmage with your spouse to be a team that plays like champions!!! (Like a team would to prepare for a game!)

It’s where we first fall in love with a game, picking up fitness habits and rooting interests that can last a lifetime. It’s where many of us learn early lessons about teamwork, integrity and competition. It’s where the next generation of leaders often emerges—helping shape the future of a republic that for more than 100 years has looked to organize the play of children for the sake of nation-building. But youth sport isn't just orange slices and all-star trophies anymore. It's 14-year-olds who enter high school with a decade of football experience, 9-year-olds chasing college scholarships, 5-year-olds competing for world golf championships, and 3-year-olds in uniforms and organized games. It's a year-round "travel team" in every community … and parents who fear that not making the cut in grade school will cost their kid the chance to play in high school. In short, a landscape in which performance often matters more than participation!
