It's Valentine's Day, a big day where people make bad choices, leading to the biggest influx of future clients for divorce lawyers. There's hyper-confidence, lots of proposals, romantically lovely but statistically likely to lead to divorce consultations.

Host offers a list of 50 viral questions to connect deeply with your partner (some evidence-based, some original) and 25 to decide if it's time to leave, available at chriswilx.com/valentines.

Professional athletes have monastic discipline focused on one task (e.g., catching/throwing a football, shooting a three), useful in marriage for one-pointed focus avoiding distractions.

NFL players get giant contracts early (hundreds of millions in early 20s), often marry high school girlfriend; all money acquired during marriage is subject to division as one legal person. Most lack prenups due to unsophisticated advice.

MLB/NHL players have longer careers; sports without massive injury risk differ from NFL/MMA (shorter careers, less money for MMA).

Post-retirement, athletes (especially NFL with short careers) are often lost; few commentator slots, not all articulate (e.g., defensive lineman). Started playing at 5-7 years old with lifelong discipline.

Easy to be married while playing: structured life (preseason, postseason, travel), leagues accommodate families, athletes busy and must stay disciplined unlike touring musicians with free time/partying.
