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?

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 think any activity done in excess is bad for marrige and family life.
I've seen couples broken by partying/drinking, training (swimming/ running/basketball/ soccer, etc), and working too many hours.
I know from experience that throwing a bunch of kids on top the mix makes the balancing act quadruple at least.
Probably the only thing worse than suffering through an unbalanced marrige is raising 3 kids alone. It sucks.
