June 18, 2010PowerPhrase: Honey, we need to play.

Filed under: The PowerPhrase of the Week by merylrunion |

I think there’s little doubt that the phrase,

- Honey we need to talk

send fearful shivers down many a man’s spine. It is often taken to mean they’re about to get their behinds handed to them.

Things can get so serious in our intimate relationships. That’s why,

  • Honey, we need to play

can be just what needs to be said. Play can recreate the sense of connection and communion which makes the words “honey, we need to talk” far less fearful. Not that we ignore the issues, just that we recreate safety before we go there.
