COURT VISION The ability to see the whole floor—knowing where the ball, your teammates, and your opponents are at all times. What is our vision for our marriage? What is a goal we can reach together over the next 30 days? 6 months? A year?
TRANSITION The fast break that results from a rebound, turnover, or change in possession. As we think ahead, what transitions in our life and family can we anticipate so we can be better prepared for them?
50/50 BALL
While spectacular shooting and deft passing may lead the highlight shows most nights, coaches implore their players hustle and play hard from start to finish in every basketball game. This manifests itself in hustle plays when a rebound or a loose ball could go to either team. These close plays are 50/50 balls. These plays are usually the game-changers in close games. What areas of your marriage have you become lazy in? Are you pursuing your spouse as you should? Are you showing love in the right ways? Are you listening? Discuss how you can be a game-changer in your marriage!
