“What has made us so successful in the work space together for so long is our boundaries,” said Harris, one of three goalkeepers on the World Cup roster. “We’ve done it long enough to know what works and what doesn’t work.

“When we’re at work, we’re there to work. I’m her teammate. So if she wants to come to me for something, I’m gonna give her the real answer, the accountability answer. And then when we’re at home, that’s our time to be at home, and then soccer doesn’t walk through the front door.”

At all. The couple sets aggressive goals for not talking about soccer at home, they said. But there is a 20-minute window during the drive home from training when they can discuss what’s happening on the field. As soon as they pull into the driveway, that’s it.

They also try not to share rooms on road trips or isolate themselves for the group, according to Harris.

“Soccer is my job, it’s not my life. She is what makes me happy. She is my life. So, soccer doesn’t bleed into that. I make sure of it.”
