|| Strong || Chivalrous || Determined || Family Guy || Hard Working ||
Jay is constantly pushing himself to be better. He works hard every day, spending hours in training for soccer and then more hours afterwards in the gym. Yet somehow he'll still make time to make Lizzy dinner or bring her flowers when he gets home. He's very old fashioned when it comes to relationships. He feels that a woman should be treated like a princess for her whole life.
He is a very big family guy. He has a lot of younger cousins on his mom's side and he loves playing with them and talking to them. Jay finds it intriguing to try and see the world through a child's eyes, they're so honest and have such a different perspective on things.

|{History}|
When Jay was just 4, his dad enrolled him in a neighborhood soccer team. At first, he wasn't very good and it got to a point where he would come home after games and whine about how much he wanted to quit. His mom would always tell him that it wasn't about winning or being the best, but it was about being his best. Being a little boy, Jay didn't really care much for his mom's sappy metaphors. However, he kept at it. Fast forward 19 years and he's now a professional soccer player, being paid to do the thing he loves most -- well, maybe not most.
He can still remember the first day he ever spoke to Lizzy. He'd seen her around and always thought she was pretty but she was that super quiet girl that never really spoke to anyone. They were lab partners but all she ever did was the work. Just the work. Hardly ever looked over at him and was never offering a word into the conversation he just babbled off, most of the time feeling like he was talking to a brick wall. Then one day, he cracked a joke (and not even one of his best) and she laughed. That was the beginning of that.
When they began dating, Jay's family sort of adopted Lizzy as their own. His parents have loved her like they do his sister since they met her, making her life without parents a little easier. They did everything together. She was constantly at his house having dinner with his family. There were even a few times when he would have practice but she would eat dinner with his parents anyways, no hesitation.
They they got married. At first it was great, not to say that it's bad now, but it's changed. He's starting to think about children and from what he's gathered, she's not having it. She's not ready or just doesn't want them, of which he's not entirely sure, but the whole conversation has caused constant arguments and hatred between them. Thus, he decided to sign them up for this retreat.
While it might not be the best time because of Lizzy's grandmother, it was better earlier than when it's too late.
