Football season is officially here - which means some spouses have entered their annual season of widowhood.

In this episode of Sugar, Spice & Spirits, Kelly, Mindy, and Natalie talk about what really happens inside their homes when football takes over.

From Houston Texans tailgates and Texas A&M football to husbands who cannot be interrupted during a game, the conversation starts with the funny side of being married to a football fanatic.

Then there’s fantasy football.

Natalie reveals how her first attempt - with a little help from ChatGPT - ended with her coming in last place. Mindy explains why she originally joined fantasy football to connect with her husband and discovered that knowing the players also helped her connect with clients.

But there’s another side to football season.

What happens when watching sports stops being a hobby and starts affecting your marriage, kids, responsibilities, or the way you treat the people around you?

Natalie shares a personal perspective on what football Sundays meant during a previous marriage and why excessive drinking combined with football created something very different from harmless fun.

The women talk about communication, taking care of responsibilities before kickoff, giving your spouse room for the things they enjoy, and knowing when enough is enough.

Then it’s rapid-fire: NFL vs. college, stadium vs. couch, Super Bowl parties, fantasy football, playoff priorities and how long you’re allowed to sulk after your team loses.

• Why football season can genuinely affect relationships
• Fantasy football as a way to connect with your spouse
• Why family responsibilities should come before kickoff
• The difference between enjoying football and letting it control the household
• How excessive drinking can change football Sundays for the entire family
• Why communication matters when couples have different interests
