Short excerpt from a YouTube conversation (Dean Graziosi with Lisa Bilyeu) framing relationships—particularly marriage—as a sport. The speaker introduces a tennis metaphor and contrasts playing "singles" (each person on their own, win/lose dynamic) versus "doubles" (implied cooperative play).
I think of marriage or really relationships as being a sport. Right. So let's say it's a game of tennis. Now, the question is, do you both agree that you're playing tennis? Yes or no? Yes. Great. Do you think that you're playing singles or are you playing doubles? Because singles is me one side of the net and him the other, and I'm just hitting the ball to him, and then he hits it back. Now, the truth is, only one of you can win in that scenario.
