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.
Here is to finding and keeping real love!
