Sports are the cause of some pretty amazing things. They motivate people. They reduce stress and improve overall health. They boost confidence and self-esteem.

A week into the World Cup, I decided if you can't win 'em, you might as well join 'em. I took it upon myself to learn some basic rules of the game. A little googling taught me a thing or two about the penalty cards. Seemed simple enough. Common sense, really.
Anjali Joshi is a teacher turned stay-at-home mom who loves sharing her tales of terror and lessons of love. She blogs at The Adventures of a New Mom and writes for Masalamommas.It amazes me how many people (men) know and understand the rules of sports -- enough to jump off their ass-imprinted couches to scream obscenities at the referee for a bad call -- but struggle with the basic rules of marriage.
