Romantic Advice

Ask your wife sweetly and shyly if you can touch her hair.

When she says "yes" ...

gently brush your finger across her top lip.

I wonder if he will recover fully, or be crippled for life?

Geez, I can tell by the reactions of you guys that this thread is really needed.

A lot of guys just don't understand women. Calling attention to things she thinks are flaws, demonstrates that you accept and find attractive every part of her. She will be greatly appreciative and it will inflame her passions accordingly. You can even expect her to passionately return the favor in kind.

Now this is the kind of marital advice I've been needing for such a long time. See...I'm a slow learner and some of this stuff I just need help figuring out. As a return gesture, I recommend you get the love of you life a high quality vacuum cleaner for Valentine's Day. They are very appreciative when you help make her life easier.

This brings up a great point !

Just like us, women love gifts that are useful. Forget the frivolous stuff. What she really wants are things that help her in her jobs around the house, including keeping you happy. Cookware is great as a gift to build your relationship, but don't forget her other needs.

Sometimes she needs things that are "just for her" so she can do the things she wants to do and that we don't care much about. This is where a new vacuum can show that you realize she sometimes needs a little time alone. Make sure to tell her this when you give it to her.

When you ask your husband if he has checked the generators before the incoming storm and then can't start the thing when the power goes out, the fact that your wife has not killed you and is still speaking to you, does not mean you are out of the dog house.  It means she needs you to repair the frozen pipes in the well house and help carry water to the barn.  Death can come later.
Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.

I have found that they appreciate the effort if you have the kitchen sink filled with warm water for her so she can wash the dishes when she gets home from the hospital.

Terri, what great thinking on your part! You truly went above and beyond the call there, especially considering the stress you must have been under while your dishwasher was broken. Glad the hospital was able to fix her for you. :grin:


Kathy ...
Au contraire. It should not wait! It sounds like a little death is an immediate need.
Male forgetfulness can be caused by low blood sugar or stress and can usually be remedied by a good sandwich or a romp in the sheets. Since testing for the specific condition can add more stress, it's best to provide both for your husband...  as much and as often as possible.

Another possibility is a subconscious block stemming from the desire to spend some romantic candlelight time with you, as well as recapture the joy of the struggles of youth with you. Coincidentally (and happily), subconscious blocks can almost always be cured with la petite mort and sandwiches. Chances are, the poor fellow needs help now.

I found that it is much appreciated if you have complete tire changing instructions, complete with pictures, affixed to the underside of the trunk lid for when they call in a flat tire.

I suspect it had more to do with football games.   :cheesy:

I don?t know the man Kathy, (your husband), but I suspect you are right. No doubt you know him, probably better than anyone else.
On behave of him and all mankind; Thank you for not killing him!  And thank you for accepting him just as he is in this case (without one plea)!
May you continue to remind yourself of his good qualities in times like this!
:grin: :wink:

The more useless a gift is the more romantic.  Even better if it is perishable like flowers.

Out of the blue, take it upon yourself to do some chore that she often does.

When she thanks you,

Just say, "somebody had to do it"

She'll immediately realize that you know she's been doing it all along, and that you appreciate all the times she did it in the past.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but...why is it when I mow the grass, it's ok for me to hear all about that one weed that got missed but if I point out the cobwebs on the nightlight, it's a capital offense?
