Like the majority of men in this country, my guy loves his sports. Not just one sport like baseball or football but all sports. I admire his passion for sports. There are times when I wish he'd love the arts just a little, however.

One thing I can say is he's active. My husband is not one to sit on the sofa and watch his sports - he plays them. While you can always get him to join in for a game of basketball or golf, it's softball that is his real passion. It's like the sports bottle he drinks from has been filled with water from the elusive fountain of youth. Immediately he's less stressed, wrinkles fade, he moves quicker and smiles. My goodness that game makes him happy.

I suppose as long as you know what your body is capable of, the exercise is all upside. Goodness knows, working in an office is a sedentary situation and while you are just sitting there hardly moving, the stress builds with deadlines and dealing with an impatient boss. Getting outside gets him much needed fresh air and perhaps the slightest tan.

What I like the best is that our kids have a great role model in their father. We happen to have 2 daughters but my husband treats them no differently than he would a boy when it comes to sports. I have to admit that neither of them have cottoned to softball but we do have an avid basketball player and the other has joined the school's volleyball team. Team participation brings about a better perspective on life and great coping skills they can use in whatever direction their life leads them.

For our family, the sports events can often become a real family affair. The girls gather and we even pop some popcorn and watch the game. We often split over which team we root for but we all are just good friends when we are done. Sports events are typically much better family viewing than many other shows I see now on prime time TV.

Would I fall in love with my sports fanatic all over again? You bet. He's generous and a role model for our daughters and with all that exercise, still easy on the eyes. Oh, and one more benefit is I never struggle trying to decide what to give him as a gift. There are so many sports themed gifts that end up just being the perfect gift. So much better than a pen for Father's day and Christmas!
