TIP of the DAY -

Think of a couple of things that your honey does for you and the family (he is a good provider, he can fix things, etc.) and let him know how much you appreciate him.

Rhap,

Yesterday my hubby wqas having a not so good day, so i sent him a text message that said:

i just want you to know i think you are wonderful and sweet and I Love You!

mushy i know

[Rhapsody]

Nah - not mushy.................. that's LOVE!

LoVe,
Rhapsody - (i do the same thing)

[SerenitysWave]

<font color="purple"> We are texting each other too with mushy love notes all the time....

A few years ago when we were going thru a very rough time with my mental stability, he wrote me a few poems as he knows I enjoy poetry emensely (sp??) ... I just loved the fact that he wrote me something from his heart , but also in a way that he knew I would appreciate most....

I used to hide notes in odd places for him to find through out his day of work.... cig box, lunch, between invoices, wallet, etc.... He loved getting those encouraging surprises throughout the day....

Keep these tips coming, I need these reminders of the little things... </font>

I used to travel for a living, and one of the sweetest things that I've had done for me, was opening up my suitcase to a little note...then I'd open up a shirt, and another little note...even in my t-shirts, in my socks...there were probably 25 little notes for a 2-week trip...why I let that one get away I'll never know.

Nothing against YOU or the idea, ok, Rhap?? It is ONLY my OWN cynicism!!!! Understood?? I need to vent my own cynicism. PLEASE don't try to change my mind because it won't happen!

[wi_fighter]

I guess I'm a LITTLE coNfuSEd.

no tips for him?

[wi_fighter]

I might have the answer for that, pat, but I don't want to get kicked out of the forums.

[SeptemberMorn]

X2!! OMG!!

[wi_fighter]

Rhap, I hate to break it to you, but we all aren't passive, submissive, omega dogs in our families.

You always have tips for us women, but they almost always involve giving up our own identities in order to please our current or future men and/or living a Christian lifestyle that tells us the only way to true happiness and fulfillment is to forego our own needs for everyone else's wishes.

[PasDeDeux]

Cute idea.

A tip for him would be not to use my good pot to bail the water in the basement into buckets
I just caught him This is love, I didn't say a word

[SeptemberMorn]

You're sweet, Pas! If it was me, I'd consider it desrespectful and thoughtless and would sure let him know!

If it works for you, don't change a thing!

[PasDeDeux]

SeptemberMorn it did cross my mind to smack him on the head with it but I really don't think the man knows a GOOD pot from a cheap one. And hey he cooked dinner and has to bail the basement out not me

[SeptemberMorn]

Oh.... well? Ok, then! LOL

Since it's a good pot, maybe it can handle the stress of being used for something other than it's intended purpose. I'm getting this picture of it scooping up drain gunk, grease, and hair. Blech.

[Rhapsody]

(for so many ppl)

Please.....
For the people that do not share the same PASSION in which this thread was created with - - PLZ DO NOT turn my thread into some things other than it was meant to be.... HELP for the WIFE that wants to show her MAN how much he is loved and wanted.... this would be greatly appreciated - by ME.

Thank you.................... PeAcE

LoVe,
Rhapsody -

Sorry if I am off-topic but for those who ask why there is no "tips for him". Maybe this is because Rhapsody is a woman and being with a man, the topic "tips for HIM" would be slightly out of place.

Had she been a man, it ensues that the topic would have been "tips for HIM". She is, after all, entitled to see things from her perspective, i.e. a woman's point of view.

Sorry for intruding but people implying she is male bashing, which happened before, is far from justified imho.

Peace.

[Rhapsody]

Dear Always, Thank YOU for the SUPPORT..... you are greatly Appreciated!!

LoVe,

Tip of the Day -

When the house is quiet--light some candles--play some soft music--and dance cheek to cheek.... make it a dance he will never forget!

I want to remind members that responses are to be supportive. If you can't support the original poster in a thread's topic, please reconsider posting.

While I agree that this thread might not appeal to everyone's "appetite", it does to several.

Thanks,

I love hiding notes for my hubby... i like to stick one in his wallet from time to time.... he he he it is funny when he calls me and says when did you put this in here.. lol

[Rhapsody]

AND.... isn't it great when he repays the favor?

I personally know that my husband likes to keep up with me, so when I do something for him (big or little) that says I LOVE YOU and YOU ARE SPECIAL TO ME and GREATLY APPRECIATED.... then he does something for me that says the same - Gotta love that system.

.............. and to top it all off, WE both WIN - for we now feel LOVED / WANTED by each other.

LoVe,

I don't see it in my own marriage as a "tips for her" or "tips for him", but more like a partnership, my husband and I share the responsibilities, we have been married 28yrs and had gone steady 7yrs before that, so sharing the responsibilities works, and helps strengthen our relationship.
It may not work for all, and that's alright too.
I just wanted to share this, with y'all. We sometimes do role reversal, he likes to cook,grocery shop, where I like the outdoor stuff,grass cutting and shoveling snow, "I" take the trash out,do the bills,etc. Soooooo, co-operation and sharing really is helpful, it's not about sex,bringing slippers,"honey this, honey that", but that is okay too and if it works for many or sort of a thing both partners expect, great.
Real,solid relationships,tips are not needed,after years of being with a mate, you just sort of learn what works for both. Those little extras, flowers,dinners, words of endearment for either him or her are okay, but some couples aren't into that and that's okay too.
All that matters to me in a relationship is true love (not the sexual, called lust),honesty,respect and loyalty.
That's what my husband wants too, soooooooo, we are happy with that, sure we argue, but then that is normal to have some bicker. I have yet to see a long term relationship, that lasts, without arguing.
Those "Barbie and Ken" relationships often end in divorce.
Just my take on relationships and "tips that work or not" and if they are necessary. For some,maybe, but as I stated, sharing responsibilities,respect,come to a point, where no tips are needed or you just learn what he or she likes over time. We love to rub each others feet while watching TV, then our dogs have to jump up and get their pets, ha!ha!

Peace,
DE
