Greg Bishop, in a New York Times article, asked Kris Jenkins, nose tackle for the New York Jets, why so many football marriages fail.

Jenkins, married just last month, listed the following reasons:   rampant infidelity, women who target athletes, trophy wives, lifestyles not conducive to marriage and players being surrounded by entourages, which can discourage intimacy.
