For many husbands, wives can be downright
confusing. One night, a husband looks at his
wife with puppy dog eyes and suggests romance.
She replies in frustration, “Not tonight. Is sex
all you men think about?” A few nights later in
that very same bed, she might say, “You just
watch TV and go to bed. Don’t you find me
attractive anymore?”
Another husband hears his wife complaining
about her need to exercise. He buys her a gym
membership. And that’s when the fight begins!
There are countless times in marriage when a
husband and wife get their wires crossed. No
wonder men are confused about how to make
their wife happy! Efforts to make your wife
happy may seem to backfire more often than
not. Although the mystery between men and
women is sure to continue, here are ten proven
activities to make your wife happy:

1. Make talk time a daily habit: Don’t allow
yourself to become so busy that you can’t spend
15 minutes a day talking with your wife. By the
way, the last 15 minutes of your day when
you’re utterly exhausted don’t count. If
possible, use dinnertime as a place for
conversation. If dinner doesn’t work, maybe
it’s a five minute phone call at lunch and 10
minutes sitting on the sofa in the evening.

2. Act interested in what your wife has to say:
Notice I wrote “act.” I know the things we
wives talk about can be boring, long-winded,
dramatic or illogical (or all of the above). But
if you simply act as if you care about what
we’re saying, it means the world to us. Just
picture yourself in a board room listening to a
boring presentation by your boss. You would
still act interested out of respect for your boss.
Act interested in your wife’s comments, not
always because the conversation is riveting, but
because you love your wife.

3. Hug, cuddle, and kiss throughout the day:
Remember the affectionate way you would hold
her hand, put your arms around her waist, and
kiss her softly while you were engaged? Do that
again and again. Remind yourself to romance
and court her physically with a steady flow of
affection. But remember, the goal of all your
hugging and cuddling isn’t to have sex that
night. It’s simply to be physically close (which
will naturally lead to more sex throughout the
week).

4. Write her a love note: It doesn’t have to be
pure poetry to make her heart flutter. Write
down the things you appreciate about her. Why
are you glad you married her? Did she do
something last week that you really liked? How
is she doing a good job as a mother?

5. Take her on a coffee date: Let her know you
want to hear all the details of her day over a
nice, hot cup of coffee. If you have younger
children, arrange for someone to watch the
kids for an hour or two. On the date, hold her
hand, open the door for her, and brag about
her to the barista.

6. Tell her she looks beautiful: What’s a common
question that little girls ask? Do I look
beautiful daddy? It’s a question that grown
women still wonder about. Women tend to be
hard on themselves regarding their looks. We
are afraid we don’t measure up in your sight.
But if you look into your wife’s eyes and tell
her she is beautiful, you will make her day!

7. Help with the household duties: you want to
make your wife mad, say something like “Oh, I
see you’re doing your annual vacuuming” (I
know this from personal experience). But if you
pick up around the house, help in the kitchen,
and yes even vacuum without being asked, your
wife will be incredibly thankful.

8. Notice what she worries about and reassure her:
Your wife is a security seeker. Maybe she’s
worried about an upcoming move, a child’s
development, or financial pressures.
Strengthen yourself first in the Lord so you
can then encourage your wife. Hold her and
reassure her often that everything is going to
be okay.

9. Bring her an unexpected gift: Most women love
gifts and it doesn’t really matter whether they
come in small or big packages. Surprise her
with a just-because bouquet of flowers or box
of chocolates. Maybe she’s compiling a wish list
online of things she wants. Take a peek and
surprise her with one item from her list.

10.Open up to her about yourself: The strong,
silent type works in the movies, but not in real
life. Your wife wants to hear about your life.
She wants to know what is making you happy
and what is stressing you out. This is how she
connects with you. She actually cares about
what you had for lunch and the strange thing
you saw on the way home. Don’t reply to your
wife’s questions with one word answers.
Elaborate.

Which of these activities do you think your wife
would enjoy? If you’re not sure, you can
always ask her. She’ll love that you were

happy!

Whisper!

Trust me alot of men can do this, but most ladies at d long run will use their feminine power and the treat(care) to try and dominate d man and rule d house ultimately. It will only take God for d woman to still understand submission and respect for her man no matter what!

@op, pls not EVERYTHING a man can tell his wife....
