Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France so many times, despite the bitterness of the French press that tried to discredit him time and again, that it astonishes us. He rose from cancer victim to cancer conqueror to cycling victor. He was determined. At times he fell behind other cyclists in different stages of the races. Reportedly, falling behind was on purpose so he could conserve his strength for more difficult stages. Other times, it was because someone, perhaps a sprinter, put on a burst of speed and outdid him.
Whatever, he kept himself from getting discouraged, figured out how he could have done better, and charged forth again with victory in mind.
We say that because if he were a good husband, he would have worked on preserving his marriage, and wouldn't have a bevy of "relationships" behind him. His legitimate children would still have a full time father, and his other children wouldn't have to carry the stigma of illegitimacy around with them all of their lives.
Unfortunately he was himself illegitimate and abandoned by his own father. This may have contributed to his own lack of reliability when it came to relationships. Or perhaps it was his lack of faith as an agnostic. He is quoted as saying: At the end of the day, if there was indeed some body or presence standing there to judge me, I hoped I would be judged on whether I had lived a true life...
He wants to live a true life, but yet he abandons those who love him. Yes, he was true to cycling. No, he wasn't true in his personal life. Or so it seems. However, since we don't know the man personally, it could be that he would have been true had his wives been true. We don't know who was at fault, but if he is like the majority of men, and especially since he had to be gone much of the time to pursue his career, it is likely that he didn't meet his wives' and girlfriends' emotional needs - essential for women.
Every marriage should have, as its goal, love that reaches the arte level, the Greek word for excellence. "That's easy," newlywed say when they still have the stars in their eyes. "We're doing fine," says the husband who isn't meeting his wife's emotional needs. "I've settled for less than what I desire," says the wife who has given up hope.
Our Love Relationship System was created for this very purpose - showing couples how to reach that level of art or close to it so that their marriages will stay strong and secure.
