“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.
If you do those things, don't feel gay. Know that you are the best husband in the world and your wife will do anything for you. ;)
LOL
I like the way ya think!!
MM
HA! I know exactly what I want and I always mean what I say. I have found that many men don't really know what they want, other than the #1 thing on someone's list. ;)
Yeah, but I won't be interested because of being gay from doing all that, ya know?
"It's bad to give beer to your dogs."
Uhhhhhhhhhhh boy!!! LOL
MM
Are there any feminists left? I don't know any.
Was it good for zzzzzzz
Trust me, you definitely won't be gay if you do all of that! ;)
A few from the man side:
1) Don't expect me to care or want to hear about what happened on 'Days of Our Lives' (Oprah, Dr. Phil, Young and the Restless etc) when I ask you how your day went. Tell me about YOU, our house, our street, our town etc.
2) Let me sit down for 10 minutes and get my boots off before trying to talk to me about anything of consequence...
3) Don't ask how MY day went unless you honestly want to know and intend to sit and listen thoughtfully while I explain it, no matter how long it takes and no matter whether I need to first go over basic concepts about hydrodynamic flows, differential pressure zones, structural design.....
Bracing for flames.
Hey! you left out cooking and laundry!
Oh. Too bad. Well, a couple who have been dear friends for over 30 years are Democrats. I don't think of them as "left wingers" though. They are extremely happy and are very sincere. They also accept the fact that I am a conservative Republican, but they still love me. :)
Yeah..I didn't say Democrat, or even Liberal. Those two are far past that.
1- I would never try to change you. After all, I fell in love with the man that you are. Please do the same for me.
2- Let's be close, but we both need our space some of the time.
3- We will both remember that modern life is in part about our needs and responsibilities.
4- When I ask that we talk, let's share our opinions on the subject and work out a compromise that we can both be happy with.
That sounds good to me, too. I might have trouble following you on the technical stuff, but I would certainly listen and try to understand the technical stuff.
That's one down,150 million to go.
The only men who can possibly meet these requirements are gay ones. Women, be careful for what you ask for.
Well, it is posted under "humor", isn't it?
