Answer:
Address her concerns. Is she more concerned about the class being offered at a gym with single ladies around? Or are you talking professional kickboxing? I have a friend who does Mui Tai fighting and it is very rough. The competitions can be very brutal. Is she worried about you getting hurt?I doubt she is concerned about the money aspect--so you saying that you can afford it doesnt' help. If its a kickboxing class at a gym and she's worried about the single girls at the gym, ask if she'd like to go with you. She can be at the gym with you and then you guys can meet everyone together. Make a deal with her. If your kickboxing is 2 days a week, that you'd join yoga with her 2 days a week. That will also address if the problem is that you already do too many extra activities.If you work all day, and then play golf or whatever on w/es--then have one night a week as boys night--then want to do kickboxing for 2 nights a week, then what is Her time? When do you just enjoy being with your wife? You may have to be willing to forfeit one of your other activities in order to spend some more quality time with her.If her concern is you getting hurt, allow her to go to your first couple classes so she can see how you are learning. And how much the teacher is showing you--he isn't just throwing you in a ring and letting you go at it. Yes you will get hurt but you aren't likely to get seriously/permanently injured. It's just scraps and bruises.Whatever it is--I'm sure your wife has valid concerns that you should take the time to address that specific need. Marriages take work--and its not just 50-50. It's 100%, 100%. Are you sure you are giving your 100%?
