Nothing could ever be more true.


For the Men... Ten Commandments of Pleasing a Woman (Appears courtesy of "Straight Talk, No Chaser" by Steve Harvey)

#1 Thou Shalt Give Her Free Time.

Make the time for her to be able to take a class or pursue a hobby that she's been putting off because she's too busy with work and the kids to spend quality time doing something she loves.

#2 Thou Shalt Remember the Small Things.

Rub her back and feet, run her bathwater and give her quality "alone time," without obligation to give you some cookie for your troubles.

#3 Thou Shalt Consistently Find New Ways to Say I Love You.

Love notes go a long way. Slip one in her wallet, briefcase, or lunch bag just because; she'll appreciate that you were thinking about her and told her you love her without prompting.

#4 Thou Shalt Chip In.

Wash the dishes, do a load of laundry, clean the bathroom, or do some other chore she usually handles. If you can't or don't want to handle it yourself, hire someone to do it for you. That'll be one less thing she'll have to do, and she'll be grateful for the help.

#5 Thou Shalt Help with the Kids.

Offer to put them to bed a couple nights a wee or run them to their extracurricular activities. She could probably use the help.

#6 Thou Shalt Embrace the Art of Foreplay.

If candlelight and soft music used to get her in a romantic mood but you haven't used either of them in years, get back to romancing her. She'll appreciate the effort and respond in kind.  Remember men may only need a place; women need a reason.

#7 Thou Shalt Respect Her Schedule.

Sure, you should be able to get in a little overtime at work or go for a three-day golf weekend with the guys without being hassled about it, but it's better for everyone involved if you coordinate your schedule with hers instead of assuming that she will just handle the house, the kids, and whatever else is coming the family's way while you're out having a good time.

#8 Thou Shalt Send Her Roses, Just Because

Don't wait for birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays to shower her with the things she loves. A simple bouquet of flowers or a pack of her favorite candy is a kind gesture that will show her you were thinking about her.

#9 Thou Shalt Remember the Golden Rule.

You can be happy or you can be right.

#10 Thou Shalt Always Take Her Side.

Of course, your mother taught you that she's always right. The woman you sleep with at night must feel like you've got her back, no matter who she's going up against. She'll give you that same support, too.
