This is a great topic of discussion for us.
When does working out and training for an event take too much time away from family?
Is it different if your spouse isn't a swimmer or athletic?
How does your spouse feel about how much you train each week?
What comprimises have you made?

A Workout Ate My Marriage
Exercise Can Set Off Conflict About Family, Free Time; Errands vs. English Channel
What's funny is I trained with Jordan (featured in the article) on Thursday July 5th, 2007 at Asphalt Green in NYC, he gave me a ride back by my hotel which was pretty close to his office. Very nice guy.

I don't workout for "hours" and I don't know anything about spousal units, but I was dating a girl for a couple of weeks who rarely worked out when she started to rip on the fact that I wanted to go to the gym 3-4 days a week and swim 4 days a week. She kind of crossed the line when she called me her "meathead".
So I think I'm going to avoid dating non-athletes from now on.
