Smart Heart Super Bowl Snuggle
So you think food is the way to a man’s heart – think again, FOOTBALL is! I recommend doing the “Super Bowl Snuggle” which is a by-product of couples who play together and stay together.
Super Bowl Sunday is the perfect time to bond with what matters to your hubby or boyfriend. Couples should keep in mind that sex is the best if there’s a positive all-around experience so be sure to cook or purchase their favorite foods and snacks to have on hand during the game.
Here are some “Smart Heart Football Tips” from my book Make Up, Don’t Break Up: Finding and Keeping Love for Singles and Couples:
- Do the Smartheart Super Bowl snuggle before getting out of bed on Sunday – A close “football game” and a snuggle promote endorphins rush and creates a fun atmosphere. Endorphins are running high during football games, especially when favorite teams are playing – so I suggest putting those endorphins to good use. This heightened endorphin level encourages the sizzle and passion. This is the perfect time to add in sex during half-time.
- Women who choose not to watch the game may resent their husband’s decision to do so. Instead of letting football drive a wedge in the relationship, or being a football widow, use it as an opportunity to create a positive experience for both people.
In that book Make Up, Don’t Break Up: Finding and Keeping Love for Singles and Couples one of my patient’s said she tried my smart heart tips and what goes around comes around, it’s wasn’t a Super Bowl ring that she got, it was a real ring. You too can get a different type of ring, not a Super Bowl ring as my patient got from doing the “Football Snuggle.”
Use the Super Bowl to create a space where both people end up happy and fulfilled, instead of engaged in a power struggle.

How to score a touchdown with your partner during the football playoffs
I recommend making love (having sex) during halftime, give it a try you might be pleasantly surprised.
30 million viewers or more usually watch the football playoffs starting this Saturday and Sunday. Making love burns calories to offset by your fixing your partner’s and your favorite food during the playoffs. You can do your own “tackling” and cuddling while watching which elicits that cuddle hormone ” oxytocin,” that gives a “rush” and a real “high,” equivalent to the touchdown of the playoffs.
Every savvy woman knows how much football means to her partner, so if you can’t lick ’em join ’em. This is a great way to connect with him during halftime. If you support his passion, the “passion” will be returned in spades to you.
Here are some Smartheart tips from my Make Up, Don’t Break Up book to encourage those Pom poms, even if you need to “dust” them off. Make halftime your time with these skills that I call the “running drills.”
- Stay on the sidelines as you watch, no talking at all and especially avoiding hot topics. There is only one announcer allowed, and that’s the one on the television.
- As my grandma always said, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, so surprise him with his favorites during the games. The PEA in dark chocolate is a high full of antioxidants and acts as an aphrodisiac for “touching down,” try it.
- Another thing you can do is to read up on what team is playing, who the quarterback and running backs are. Your partner will be amused and feel closer to you that you took the interest by prioritizing what’s important to him. You can also download the NFL app for stats and predictions, and you will see doing this might even affect him remembering a card and celebrating valentine’s day with you as you like it. One of my patients got a proposal after watching football with her partner without moaning and complaining. She even said that this gets her the academy award for a lifetime. A trophy from her partner!
Enjoy the games this weekend!
I would love to hear how everything turned out. Please feel free to email me and share your experiences.
