20 Tips for Husbands

It never ceases to amaze us how easy it "could" be for a guy to be a considerate husband. We know it seems like rocket science to most guys. Having worked 30 years with 90% women, we are convinced that if there were a manual written as required reading for all men, things would be a whole lot better. We have listened to women over the years and it is truly amazing how the simplest of things would make their world so much better. Alot of these issues women have and talk about are the day in day out things. They struggle with how they are going to do it all. They truly 'want" to do it all for their husbands and children. They struggle every day with how they can handle all of life's issues. The answer to all of this is simple-----THEY NEED YOUR HELP.

Ponder the list below and see if any of these tips make sense. We believe these are all very do-able things.

1. Seems to us over the years that the following is a huge issue--remember their birthday!

2. PMS-don't make lite of it, they hate it as much as you hate the moods and outbursts.

3. Help around the house. These days both spouses are usually holding down an outside job. The home chores must be shared. Do so willingly.

4. Compliments always welcome--always!

5.Take care of all vehicles--some men feel if it's the wife's car she needs to schedule maintenance on it.

6.Plan a day with the kids, free up time for your wife to go shopping, have lunch with a girlfriend, etc...

7. Don't laugh at their television shows. For some women, watching Oprah or Dr. Phil may be the only adult conversation they have in a day.

8. Plan special evenings for no reason, AND schedule the babysitter.

9. It would be in your best interest to remember that women have very LONG memories and don't forget easily.

10. Treat them as special as they are. They still really want to be your "girlfriend".

11. Respect--no explanation needed.

12. Suggest a walking routine together, not to discuss heavy issues, but to simply spend some time together.

13. Encourage her dreams and help make them come true if you can.

14. Be interesting...not glued to the TV with a beer in your hand.

15. Ok, this is huge---give her the remote!

16. Flowers--for NO reason. Daisies picked from a neighboring field will put a smile on her face.

17.Know that if she is a "stay at home" mom, she is doing a huge job and one you would not want. Show appreciation.

18. If you detect trouble in the relationship, talk about it....to her.

19. Buying gifts, make them special, no appliances unless she is asking for them.

20.Be the very best you can be.
