Since February is the month of love, I thought it would be appropriate to list a few hints that I have learned over the years to help both men and women get along with each other a little better. From life experience, we all know the way men and women think and communicate is completely different. So here are just a few little tips. I hope you find them helpful.
For Women:
- You cannot praise and appreciate your partner too often.
- You cannot say "I love you" too often.
- You must be very specific and clear about what you want. Men do not pick up hints. Don't say "What a lovely necklace," hoping that he will get it for you for Valentine's Day. Instead say "Dear I would love that necklace for Valentine's day." You can give them many choices and let them pick; but if you hint they won't get it.
- Men forget about foreplay. Remind them about it and tell them what kind you want. Be specific.
- When you are upset about something and want your partner to commiserate with you, tell him that is what you want. Men show their love by fixing things for us. We want them to show their love by commiserating with us.
- Let the "fixes" that they do matter and praise them for them.
For Men:
- You cannot tell your partner too often that she looks great and is beautiful.
- You cannot praise your partner too often.
- You cannot tell your partner too often that you love and appreciate her. Words are needed. Not just "fixes" and cards and gifts. You must also say the words.
- When a woman wants attention it does not mean sex. It means talking and spending non-sexual time together.
- A woman is sexual in her whole body. If you want to have a satisfied partner, remember that foreplay is an action that involves the whole body: arms, neck, legs.
- When a woman is upset about something, Commiserate first! Then fix it. If you commiserate first and then fix it you will have a close and intimate experience. If you just fix it, you will make her mad for not listening to her.
- If she asks for a household item, like a pan set for a gift. You may give it to her but be sure to give her some jewelry too.
I hope these little tips help to increase the love and satisfaction in your life.
