Use Poker to Save Your Marriage
Here is what happened to a couple from Portland. Veronica and Dave were running into serious misunderstandings and they were feeling lost in their marriage. The fact that they were married for 17 years did not help. Then, one evening, as Veronica surfed the net, she landed on one of the many portals for online casinos through google. This was the spark needed.
Before this happened, the couple claimed they were drifting apart because they had no joint interest, but now the game has become more then a hobby for them. They seem to be on the way to become professionals. And judging by all the time and effort they are investing in it, their marriage is on the road to success too because they now have something common that is exciting and triggers feelings of self esteem and confidence in each other.
How Did It Happen?
It all started when one night Veronica entered Gambling Portal, where she found "the path to the internet game world". "I was not looking for it" Veronica says "but I sure did find it". She claims she did not notice she has been playing for hours, when her husband Dave came to see what she is up to. Since that night, their interest in card games grew and especially in poker. Their interest became greater and then a few weeks later; they decided to take professional lessons.
Dave and Veronica studied the different strategies of the poker game and took part in many amateur poker tournaments online through online casinos and at poker rooms locally. Their mutual dream is to play on the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.
"We know we have a long way a head of us" says Dave "but we take this very seriously, both of us. First we plan on going to Atlantic City for our next vacation in order to feel the atmosphere of a casino".
According to Veronica and Dave they have tried, during the last 5 years of their marriage, to find a mutual interest, but they could not find anything they both liked, let alone loved. The lack of this mutual interest only increased the distance between them but this new passion has turned around their marriage.
"We feel very fortunate to find something we both love to do alone as well as together" Veronica says. And when asked how their sons react to their new hobby, they say they started a new family tradition where they play with their kids at least one day a week. Veronica says "I know some may find it odd, but beside the fact that it brings us together as a family, it really develops strategical thinking for kids, just like other card games".
Conclusion:
Start thinking of poker just like any other card game and play it not just for the sake of making money but you can bring your family together and change the direction of you love life. And you get all this after playing a game that many consider the ultimate card game.
