Whatever You Want Honey

Hey guys. A little advice to you from a happily married man.

When your wife (or significant other) seems a little down, do your best to make her day.

Examples of ways to put a smile on her face.

1. Bring her flowers. Even if she says that they will just die, nothing says I’m thinking about you than a bouquet of fresh flowers. (They do not even have to be roses. But know your woman, if she loathes pansies, do not get pansies!)
2. Give her the day off and/or day out. If she likes getting her nails done (fingers and toes) let her do it. Chances are she pampers you (and you may not even realize it) so let her pamper herself.
3. If your lady is introverted, like mine, and she feels good about herself when she gets her eyebrows or hair done or go to the tanning salon, etc. let her go. Make it one better and tell her you will take care of the cost!
4. If she is with her friend(s) or even by herself, watch the kids, even if they are not yours. Tell them to have fun! Then take the kiddies to the park, on a hike, for a movie or some other fun kiddy adventure for at least two to three hours so that the ladies can decompress in their own way.
5. Find a way to give your honey a mini-vacation. Ask someone you trust to watch the little ones so the two of you can go off to a hotel, the beach, camping, whatever where it is just the two of you. Leave on a Friday after work and come back Sunday afternoon. Visit a quaint little church or another in your own town to mix it up a little. The change can be refreshing and exciting.

The only way to make these suggestions work is if you know your special lady. Let her be the center of your attention. Do this at least once a month. You do not have to splurge big, but you should splurge enough for it to be special to her.

Have fun!
