For what its worth, I would give up the game in a second for my wife. Marriage to me is about being with my best friend every day. I gave up golf a while back for my career at the time and would do so again in a minute if that choice was presented to me. If the choice is golf or marriage and someone is even thinking about the options, then there are more issues at stake than just the game of golf. They are just being cloaked by an easy target.
