Your involvement with your husband's hobbies and playful side could positively affect the romance in your marriage. You might be asking, "What's the bid deal -- football is just a game?" True. It is just a game. But, games bring out the amusement, drama, comedy, and enjoyment in all of us. That's what makes sporting events so entertaining.
Celebrate Super Bowl XLIV with Your Man
CONVERSATION STARTERS
Use these conversation starters as great warm ups during the days leading up to the Super Bowl.
Ask your husband:
Which team he's pulling for this year and why.
His favorite team in the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC).
About his favorite childhood football memory (maybe he played football in high school or went to a special game with his dad, his brother, or a good friend).
Be sure to listen up! There are tremendous keys to your husbands' heart hidden in his conversation. These keys will help you relate to him, and they'll bring a fresh sense of intimacy between the two of you.
DAY OF THE BIG GAME
Mark your calendar for February 7 at 6:25 pm (Eastern). That's when Super Bowl XLIV begins, and there's going to be a fierce face-off in South Florida.
What should you do? Here are a few pointers that will get your day off to a winning start!
Wear the colors of the team that your husband loves. You might want to buy a jersey, with his favorite team logo, from your local sporting goods store. Better yet, save money by visiting your own closet. Wear a blue shirt if your guy is cheering for the Colts. Wear a gold shirt if he's pulling for the Saints.
Prepare a special snack. Try making something that you've never made before. Don't cheat and buy it from the store. He'll appreciate it much more if he knows that you made the treat yourself, especially for him, for the game. Place the snack on your coffee table before kick off.
Sit near your husband on the couch and enjoy watching the Super Bowl alongside him, even if you can't stand sports; the game will only last a few hours. You can do it! Think about all of the romantic movies that he has watched with you. You might just find that you enjoy football too!
