 Been married 21 years.  Sometimes, what was inferred is not what was said.
I've been fortunate.  I do three sports.  My wife generally only wants to know when I'll be home, and she plans around it.  Like Adam's wife, mine probably wouldn't like it if I weren't getting paid.  She'll ask me to block certain dates occassionally, and I've also blocked dates this year based on my son's basketball schedule.  (He's a senior.  No chance I'm missing those games.)
  
As already stated, people are individuals, and marriage requires communication.  You have to work on your own give-and-take.  As passionate as we are about the game, remember the role it fits in your life, and those around you.
