Monday Marriage Magic Tip: Feel-Good Hormones & Date Ideas
Marriage Somatic/Mindbody Magic
Dear Awesome Woman,
It’s so important to have your body release feel-good hormones! Unless you’re currently going through a crisis (and even then, these hormones are important, just perhaps harder to access), please try to make these releases happen daily. Your body and soul will thank you!
Dopamine—conscious breaths; sleep; exercise; listen to music; complete a task; shop; sexual intimacy; eat good food; eat pumpkin, dairy foods, bananas, chicken, avocados; meditate.
Oxytocin—play with animals; receive or give a compliment; have physical touch; get a massage; sexual intimacy.
Serotonin—dance; be in nature; get sun or use a Happy Light; exercise; do a sit spot (get present with your senses); eat chocolate; decorate with feel-good messages, surround yourself with beauty (flowers, crystals, colors) and artwork.
Endorphins—exercise; laugh; sexual intimacy; listen to music (prosodic music is wonderful); do an act of kindness; dance; sunlight (or happy light); watch something funny — comedian, movie, or even humorous animal videos.
DATE IDEAS:
The other day, my husband walked in from attending synagogue just as I was about to walk to the JCC for my exercise class. I asked him to walk with me. It was cold out, and he had just been out for two hours (learning, praying, and exercising), yet when I told him it would be like a walk-date, he agreed. We shmoozed during this 10 minute walk to my class, and he took my exercise bag up the stairs, opened the door for me, etc. It was a date and made me very happy. We walked, bonded, and I received kindnesses from him. He felt like a hero and it was a win-win for us both.
Check out these “date” suggestions which incorporate the release of feel-good hormones:
- Take a walk together.
- Hold hands.
- Sit in nature, admire nature, get present by noticing and enjoying nature.
- Listen to music together and do something creative—collage, paint, garden.
- Eat a good meal together — sometimes my husband and I bring food in from a restaurant and enjoy it in our home.
- Dance together (if you have children, include them—make it fun and funny).
- Watch something funny together, that you both enjoy, that makes you laugh.
- Play a game, even Twister (perhaps with your kids included).
- Compliment each other.
- Go bowling, iceskating, biking.
- Cuddle, massage, and/or be intimate with each other.
- Give hugs throughout your day or kind eye contact that shows you care.

This book is for everyone! While I wrote the book to address the concerns of my Jewish Orthodox community, the practical advice and somatic techniques within are universal. I coach women of all faiths and find that we are more similar than different, all facing the same challenges.

“Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. While I am not of Jewish faith, I felt deeply connected to what she shared. And in the final chapter, her call for everyone of all faiths to do what we can to allow love to transform the world into a place of peace. It is just the salve I feel the world needs right now for deep healing.” – Sherrie Papa
