Do you remember the last time you did something to make your wife
feel special?
When you married the woman of your dreams, you not only
gained a friend and a lover for life, but a confidante, a helpmate and a
caregiver. She is someone you know will steady you when you are
faltering and will go all out to cheer you up, when you are feeling low.
She is the mother of your kids.
So, do something special to make your wife feel glad that she married
you. Whether you are a brand new husband eager to make her the happiest
bride, or a long-wedded spouse wishing to rediscover the fun-loving
girl you married, here are some infallible ways to make your wife
happy.
- Write a romantic letter. Love letters written by hand never go out
of fashion. Put your most romantic thoughts on paper, preferably
perfumed, and it will surely light up your wife’s eyes.
- Surprise her with a meal you have cooked. It need not be something
elaborate –just a salad, a main course and her favourite dessert should
do. But take care to set the table for an intimate dinner, with candles,
flowers and soft music.
- Arrange to go on a luxury cruise. All women love being indulged and
what better way to spend a long weekend than go on a luxury cruise in
balmy waters and golden sunshine. But make sure that you leave the kids
behind, so that your wife can have some time of her own.
- Invite her family over. Your wife’s parents mean a lot to her, so
ask them over for Thanksgiving or any such special occasion. It will
assure her that you consider them part of your own family and this will
make her really happy for marrying you.
- Surprise your wife with flowers for no reason. Make her fall in love with you, all over again.
- Book her a session at a luxurious spa and better still, join her.
She will not only enjoy the spa session, but will be happy that you came
along with her.
- Do something she hates. Choose a chore - like taking out the trash
or cleaning out the garage - that your wife really dislikes doing and
then go on to complete it.
- Show appreciation for her hobbies. Attend the exhibition where your
wife’s craft works are on display, or a flower show where her dahlias
have been put up. Your interest in her hobbies will give her a feeling
of pride and gladden her heart.
- Gift her an afternoon at the beauty salon. Offer to take care of the
kids and let your wife pamper herself at the salon. She’ll come back
glowing not only because of the recent facial, but also out of
appreciation at your gesture.
- A sure shot way to make your wife happy at the end of the day is to pick up her favourite dessert on your way back home.
- Surprise your wife by dropping in at her office at lunchtime and
then take her out for a quick bite. It may not be very romantic, but
your wife will love the spontaneity of the gesture and the fact that you
took time out from your own schedule for the lunch date.
- Join a salsa class for couples. Your wife will be glad of the
intimacy of the dance and having the chance to do something fun
together.
- Make a bowl of popcorn, when your wife settles down for her favourite TV show or movie. Surprise her with your thoughtfulness.
- Surprise your wife with a really expensive gift, like a Cartier
solitaire or a Gucci handbag. Watch the sparkle in her eyes and hang the
expense.
- Do something fun together. Find out fun ways of spending time
together as a family. You could pack a picnic basket and spend a lazy
Sunday afternoon at the park, while the kids run about playing games.
- Recreate your first date. Take your wife out in exactly the same way
as you had done on your first date. The romantic gesture will be sure
to make her giddy with love and happiness all over again.
- Put together a gift basket for your wife, with assorted aromatic oils and let her sensuous side feel pampered.
- Offer to take over, when your wife has to wake up at night to soothe
a colicky baby or a sick child. Even if she may not seem grateful at
the time, the fact that you have given her a chance to catch up on her
sleep will surely gladden her heart the next day.
- Find out your wife’s favourite perfume and gift it to her for no particular reason.
- Give your wife a back or neck massage after a particularly gruelling
day at work and she is sure to thank her stars that she married you.
- Ask your wife what she would like to do, before you get ready for an intimate evening.
- Really pay attention to what your wife has to say, especially when
you are in company. This will make her feel respected, even though you
may not agree with all her views.
- Find things to compliment about her. All of us like being praised
from time to time, but more so, when the compliment comes from a spouse.
However, be genuine in your appreciation, as false praise could make
her feel worthless and even hurt her.
- Take care of your appearance. Nothing turns a woman on as a
well-groomed and well dressed man. Become that man and give her one more
reason to be glad she married you.
- Offer to take your wife out for shopping and be honestly interested
in what she has to buy. She will be glad that you chose to give your
time and effort to her shopping interests.
- Gift your wife a subscription to her favourite magazine. It'll make
her happy to know that you pay attention to what interests her.
- Go over old photo albums with your wife one afternoon. It will not
only bring back warm memories of you together, but also make her want to
relive those happy times.
- Invite your wife’s best pals over for a meal. Making a genuine
attempt to know who her friends are, will make her proud and happy to
have you as a husband.
- Kiss her the first thing in the morning. Women love simple displays
of love and waking up your wife with a kiss, is sure to set her humming
for the rest of the day.
- Cheer for your wife’s favourite sports team. So what if your wife
is a diehard soccer fan while you can drop everything for a game of
baseball. Just this once, switch on to her favourite match on TV or
better still, root for her favourite team and watch her beam at you.
- Put the kids to bed. After a gruelling day at work and home, your
wife is bound to be tired up to her eyelids. Even if the same goes for
you, go another mile and tuck in the kids to bed. Your wife will surely
be grateful for your thoughtfulness.
- Remind your wife that she is beautiful. As couples settle into a
routine of familiarity, they slowly stop appreciating each other. Remind
her that she is still the most beautiful woman in the world for you and
watch her glow with happiness.
- Say sorry when you have made a mistake. And mean what you say.
- Play host to your wife’s boss. If your wife expresses a desire to
invite her boss over for dinner at your home, agree to it graciously and
be the perfect host. It will mean a lot to your wife and she will be
proud to have such a supportive husband.
- Write a poem for your wife. In these times of electronic modes of
communication, a poem that you have composed yourself, will make her
feel really special. And be sure to make it as romantic as possible,
whether it rhymes or not!
- Be the one to make the morning coffee. Bringing a steaming cup of
coffee to your wife’s bedside on a cold morning, is sure to put her in a
happy frame of mind for the rest of the day.
- Snuggle up to her. Women love the feeling of physical intimacy.
Snuggling up to her, now and then, will make her feel desired and happy
to be your lover.
- Surprise your wife with tickets to a romantic movie, especially one
that she has been planning to watch for some time. But be sure to
accompany her and don’t leave her to go with a friend or co-worker. She
will be happy to relive the earlier days of your romance.
- Hold your wife close at social occasions. This will not only make
her feel loved but reassure her that you are proud to have her as your
wife. And this in turn will make her feel happy.
- Make breakfast on weekends and serve it to the kids so that that
your wife can sleep till later. Better still, bring it on a tray to your
wife in bed and watch her beam with happiness.
- Treat her like a lady. No woman can resist a man with perfect
manners. So even if you have been married for some time now, continue to
hold open the door for her and pick up her things if she drops them.
She will be glad to know that you are still the gallant young man she
fell in love with.
- Willingly accompany your wife to family events. Granted, that you
are bored among all her cousins, aunts and uncles. But make a sincere
attempt to look happy at a family wedding and your wife will be sure to
appreciate the gesture.
- Send your wife a bunch of flowers at work and sign off as a mystery
lover. Chances are that she will correctly guess you have sent it, but
she will love the drama of it all.
- Call your wife once in a while. Say that you were missing her and
just wanted to hear her voice. This will assure her that she figures in
your thoughts even while you are busy, and make her really happy.
- Leave a love-you note on the bathroom mirror. Better still, make it
funny so that it leaves a smile on her lips for the rest of the day.
- Don’t offer a solution, immediately after your wife mentions a
problem. Women often tend to voice problems as a way of discussing
things and most likely, they are aware of the solutions themselves. So
simply listen to what she has to say and offer a solution only when
asked. She will be glad of having a good listener.
- Flirt with your wife now and then. Go back to the old days when you
flirted with each other shamelessly. This will not only spice up your
marriage, but also make your wife feel desired and happy.
- Be punctual. Just because you are married now, does not mean that
you can keep your wife waiting for a meeting. Continue to be punctual as
you were when you were dating each other and she will be glad of your
responsible personality.
- Don’t forget to take out the trash and any such chore that you both have decided is your responsibility.
- Let your wife know that you have been reading up on ways to make her
happy. It may seem to amuse her, but actually she will be pleased to
know that you are interested in making her happy.
- Finally, remember to put the toilet seat down. Nothing will make her
happier than to have a man around who follows this cardinal bathroom
rule.
Every woman likes to be pampered now and then. While gifts and
vacations are infallible but extravagant ways of making your wife happy,
remember that there are many simpler ways of putting the sparkle back
in your woman’s eyes. All it takes is a bit of generosity and a truly
loving heart to make her feel glad that she is your wife.
