The agreement.

My wife is a girl who enjoys video games, but not FPS. My wife is ultra competitive as am I and we both hate to lose. In nearly 4 years of halo (edit uhh I mean marriage) she has played it with me once and her major frustration was that she is not as good as I am and the whole walking into walls while looking at the floor thing. She says the controls for halo give her motion sickness. In fact if you talked with her about halo much at all, you get the picture of her being a halo widow. She doesn't play it and doesn't want to. My wife is however the I want to run a marathon type of girl. Which I think is quite cool. Her running for hours on end gives me more time to park my butt and play some halo. I am more of the playing halo until my eyes bleed and eat mint oreos by the sleeve type of guy, but I always give support to my wife's endevours. This time though she wants to run a half marathon, together she wants me to run for hours on end for fun . So she asks me if will train for a few months with her and run a half marathon with her and my response is..

Absolutely...

-if she will learn to play halo with me. Her face shows serious dilemma. She needs time to think about it. A week later she comes back and explains the weekly commitment training will take and asks how many hours per week will she have to commit to halo. I say at least three hours a week. She says deal.

So it begins.
