Things You'll Need:
- Patience
- Imagination

Step 1
My wife is pretty understanding about my love for sports, however, she does have her limits. She tries to watch my sports so it's only fair that I try to watch her shows. She watches shows like The Bachelor, Project Runway, America's Next Top Model, etc... Not the shows I would normally be drawn to, but I found ways to enjoy them.

Step 2
First, I treat every elimination reality show like a sporting event. If there is a competition and someone can win or lose, then I can find enjoyment. The only thing that irks my wife is when I am the most entertained when someone cries when they lose. How can you not be entertained when someone cries when they are voted off The Bachelor when they have spent 10 minutes with the person

Step 3
Second, I try to take an interest in what is going on with the show. I could care less about fashion, but my wife and I enjoy talking about the best designs on Project Runway. I find something I like and my wife does the same, then we have "quality" conversations about which is the best.

Step 4
Finally, I love my wife and I love spending time with her. She tries hard to enjoy the sports that I watch so it is only fair that I try to enjoy the shows that she watches. I may be thinking of the show differently than she is, and I may find enjoyment in obscure things, but we spend quality time together doing things that we both enjoy... even if I approach it as a sporting event.
