2. I'm an obsessive sports fan, which my wife is incredibly patient about.

3. I'm not very romantic. My idea of romance is more practical -- like washing the car.

4. Before we had our two daughters, Holly and I took spending time together for granted. Now it requires focus to get away for a date, which I think is kind of cool.

5. My wife has taught me about unconditional love. When there's a conflict, there's never a thought that we won't work it out.

6. My favorite part of the day is the moment when one of our daughters climbs into our bed in the morning and physically opens my eyelids -- even if I'm not ready to wake up.

7. To end an argument with Holly, I apologize. That's normally the accurate response, because I'm usually wrong.
