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.
