Millions of hot tub owners from around the world have discovered the multitude of benefits associated with hot tub ownership.
Human beings are social creatures. And for optimum health, humans need genuine social connection.
These social connections (or bonds or networks) involve family, friends, significant others, the broader community and, ultimately, all of humanity.
Family Bonding
What’s more important than the family bond? Millions of families have learned that a magnificent way to encourage the development of a positive bond between parents and their children is through the use of a family hot tub!
For many families, without forethought or planning, the hot tub morphs into the family’s official “neutral zone,” where members spend quality time together, away from spending hours in separate rooms, watching television, listening to IPods, surfing the web or otherwise totally disconnected from one another.
For these families the hot tub becomes the central gathering place in the home. Members are plugged into each other’s lives and a healthy, natural family bond is established and nurtured.
