“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.
I'll be dead in 10 years,
Or at least old enough to be their great granny ;)
Thanks,
Raise 'em up good for the next generation.
Leaving out the part, in the City really reminded me of my life in NYC in the 80's. (Not that we didn't have , just not like them and not so much *grin*)
Dang net nanny!
It bleeps out the word sex unless I turn it off.
Try again: Leaving out the SEX part, SEX in the City really reminded me of my life in NYC in the 80's. (Not that we didn't have SEX, just not like them and not so much *grin*)
Adding my own personal one!
Don't make me answer to your mother. If there is a problem with her, you deal with it!!! I will do the same with my own.
Oh, and don't buy me sparkly things! Waste of money!! :o)
I happen to like this list myself.
I never watched "Sex In The City." I guess your definition is pretty much like mine. I did have a relatively high powered job. I hope I was paid the same as a man if he had been doing my job. I feel that I should be equal under the law. However, I like being a woman and I like being feminine. I also like and appreciate men as human beings. :)
DING DING DING!!!
We've got a winner!!!!
;-)

Well, don't get me wrong, I believe that if a woman does the work of a man, she should get paid like a man! I only meant there are people who think I couldn't be happy without a job.
umm, right. in other words, be whatever I want, whenever I want - but don't think of being yourself. No, thanks. I think I'll hang on to my cajones (figuratively speaking), thank you.
Only "Old Yeller" is acceptable.
LOL! How many movies have you seen? There are a lot of sad ones. I personally do not watch them. I like to feel good when I watch a movie, not be depressed.
Taking care of a home and family is a job! A full time one! Whoever says that you can't be happy without a job is an idiot!
LOL!
If only the women who sent in these oh-so-helpful hints would realize that for all the time they've spent thinking about what THEY want is time they could have spent making their husbands happy....
Happy husbands make happy wives!
Why? I think your requests are very reasonable and oh..... not all women watch Oprah or soap operas
Some of us are more discriminating, like "What Not To Wear"
:>)
And because I am a woman I can change my mind!
His public persona is irritating to say the least, but he must be doing something right in his private life. He has been married to the same woman for almost 50 years.

you're not serious, are you?
