How can sports possibly be be romantic? It's simple. Just ask
any man who has cheered on his favorite team, while cuddling
with his wife, and he'll tell you.
Many women I know profess to hate all sports. Why? If it's
something your husband really enjoys, wouldn't you rather learn
about it, and share the common bond of sports than to have him
watch it alone or always leave to watch it with his buddies? Me?
I'd rather be a sports wife than a sports widow.
Before you start to panic, let me sneak in a disclaimer. No, you
don't have to put on a parka and sit through an icy-cold Green
Bay Packers game in November to show your husband your love. You
can certainly sit warm and cozy on your living room couch
together, to show him that he is special to you.
Does the thought of being cooped up indoors watching a game bore
you to tears? If so, take him on a trip to see his favorite
professional team or player. Or, for a more relaxed date, go to
a local Middle School or High School game. You'll love the
energy. It's hard not to get hooked watching those kids put
their hearts and souls into their games.
You're still not convinced? Why not show your romantic side with
your sports-loving husband in a fun, active way. No matter what
his favorite sport is, you can easily find a way to participate.
Football Fans: Toss the football with him in the yard. If you've
never played football before or just got your nails done, use a
Nerf ball. When he lets you tackle him, you can sneak in a kiss.
Basketball Fans: Shoot hoops in the driveway. Play a game of
"HORSE". The winner gets a back rub or snuggling afterwards.
That way you both win!
Baseball Fans: Play catch with a water balloon on a hot summer
day. Go to the batting cage. Or join a softball league together.
It's great exercise, and you get to enjoy time together.
Hockey Fans: Dust off your rollerblades, grab a hockey stick and
a street puck and hit the street with your husband. What do you
have to lose other than a few inches off your thighs?
Fantasy Sports Fans: Join his Fantasy Football, Baseball or
Basketball League. It's a great way to get to know his friends
and also be one of the 'cool' wives. You might even surprise him
and win a few games.
Golf Fans: Play golf together. Or, if your finances are tight,
try a game of mini-golf!
NASCAR fans: Visit the local arcade. Find two racing games that
are connected so you can race each other.
Tour de France fans: This one is easy. Pack a lunch and a few
jugs of water on your bikes and hit the road.
No matter what you plan, it'll be a treat for him. And, the next
time you're watching an episode of Desperate Housewives, don't
be surprised if you find your husband sitting next to you.
