“HELPER HINTS” SUBMITTED BY WIVES (Not listed in any particular order)

1) Be my best friend.

2) I need to know you call my name in your prayers

3) Hold me when I cry

4) Show and tell me that you love me often, and leave no doubt about it in my mind.

5) Show me your approval when I make a decision that is good.

6) Talk to me about what’s important to you and to me.

7) Listen to me and don’t treat me like I am stupid and don’t know anything.

8) I need intimacy, and not just sexually. Anyone can have sex, but it takes a REAL man to be intimate.

9) Make me feel wanted and trusted in the things I can do for you.

10) Don’t try to make me like your mother.

11) Remember that I am your “Help Mate.” I am not someone to be stomped on and just used for your “whims.”

12) Understand that I like to have our family near and want all relationships to be what God intended.

13) Comfort and hold me.

14) Be a one man woman.

15) Take the spiritual lead in giving me (and our children) direction and guidance.

16) Ask me for my help – it is good to be regarded as a helper and useful.

17) Make appropriate adjustments to your lifestyle and preferences as a married / family man.

18) Treat me with love and respect in the company of others.

19) Show appreciation and affirmation.

20) Tell me you love me often, even if you think I should already know this.

21) Show affection for no “reason” at all.

22) Make me feel as though I am still desirable.

23) Be devoted to caring, giving protection, and affirming your love.

24) Encourage me to realize my goals, and don’t put me down for trying something new. Try to understand how I feel and listen to me when I try to tell you something that is important to us or that is hurting us.

And because I am a woman I can change my mind!

LOL!

[Paul_Denton]

And I see that folks think it's funny. ~~sigh~~ I'm never dating again, much less getting married. I was born on the wrong effin' planet.

I never thought it was funny. I am sorry for how you feel.

[apackof2]

I am sorry for how you feel.

Compassion is a highly desired trait

[irishtenor]

Ya forgot BEER.

[Paul_Denton]

Thanks :)

[pa mom]

Some of us are more discriminating, like "What Not To Wear"

I love that show!

[MadIvan]

My list -

1. I was not put on this earth to make everything perfect forever for you. Don't expect me to do so.
2. Say what you mean, rather than continually set me up for guessing games which I fail at and then you cry.
3. I won't admit to being in pain or ill. Hit me over the head with a hammer and drag my carcass to bed where I belong.
4. If you are a kind, loving woman to me, I will treat you like a princess. If you act like you're a princess, I won't talk to you at all.
5. I will write poetry for you. But never on command.
6. I will cook for you. But don't demand it.
7. I will help clean the house. But don't expect me to do it solo unless you're ill.
8. I am going to deteriorate physically over time. This is called getting old. It doesn't make me feel better about if I catch you drooling over some actor with six pack abs. In return, I promise not to drool over any actress or celebrity.
9. I will go shopping with you, but you have to put up with me constantly updating the technology in the house.
10. I will continue to blast my Dark Sanctuary and Cure albums from time to time.

Regards, Ivan

I love Stacy and Clinton!

[najida]

Thanks sweetie....

I try to view these threads as the human version of lions ripping a gazelles throat out when it shows vunerability.

Mebby the genders just need to live in different countries er sumthin' ;)

[Paul_Denton]

No problem :) I know what you mean.

[steve8714]

He's gone a lot, she doesn't know him as well as we do.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

My husband is not gay, is kind, loving, lets me know he cares, is supportive and is my best friend. We share a lot of activities. He is not an outlaw type, but a hard working family man.

Although I wouldn't have asked him to be like that, I think he comes mighty close to fulfilling this list.

In return, I consider him the most important person in my life, and I try to be his helper and comforter, encourage him to do what is most important in his heart, make sure his clothes are washed, dinner is available, and understand the importance of duck hunting, and why is is necessary to own expensive replica flintlock guns and that intimacy starts and grows through sexuality.

We respect each other. We encourage each other. It's not a take relationship, it is a give relationship, and we receive more in the giving than we would in the demanding.

That last bit may have something to do with why he seems to fit the list so well.

[ShadowDancer]

I need to know you call my name in your prayers

What the hell is that?

[brwnsuga]

My husband is simple he needs sex, food, beer and ESPN....

in that order.

If I provide all of those, all is right with the world and I get whatever I want from him anyway. I get everything and more from that dern "help list" as long as I keep up with my end of the bargain.

[apackof2]

I love Stacy and Clinton!

Ditto!

I want them to do a "fan appreciation" show with me holding a $5,000 Visa card in the Big Apple!

WOOOHOOOO

[Donna Lee Nardo]

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Old Yeller...now I'm crying...
