How to Make Your Woman Happy

By Jim Odom

If you don't have a lot of time to read, you can watch the video version by following the link at the bottom

Experienced Husband

I’ve been married now for 40 plus years so I thought I would impart some of the knowledge I have accumulated over the years. My hope is that it will help some of the younger men who have not yet had the life experiences I have had. Follow these tips and your wife can be just as happy as mine has been.

Compliments

Pay your wife some compliments from time to time. If she puts on an outfit, I like to say something like, “that dress really slims you down…you don’t look nearly as fat wearing that dress”. Or if she tries on another outfit, you could say something like, “Wow, your butt doesn’t look nearly as big in those pants.”

I think I made her the happiest when one day when I told her that she was the sexiest looking 60 year old I had ever seen. You can come up with your own ideas for something nice to say to her. The important thing to remember is to show her attention by paying her compliments from time to time. Don’t over-do it though, or she will think you are up to something.

Gifts

The next best way to make her happy is to get her unexpected gifts from time to time. Get her something she can really enjoy. Here is a good example: I had come home for lunch one day and my wife was out in the yard blowing leaves. I noticed she was lugging around a long extension cord that was really burdensome. I turned around and went to the hardware store and bought her a brand new GAS POWERED leaf blower.

You should have seen her face. I even took the time to stop and get gas for it, mix the oil with the gas, and even started it for her. Sometimes they can be a bit tricky to start the very first time. Women really appreciate it when their husbands are thoughtful about little things like that.

Another example of a gift she really loved: One day I came home and she was up on an old rickety ladder putting up a curtain rod. I immediately went to the store, and not only did I get her a new ladder, but I also bought her an electric screw driver. The look on her face when I did that for her was worth all the effort.

Get her involved

Don’t let football season come between the two of you. The best way to keep that from happening is to let her know what to expect well in advance of football season even getting started. Let her know that there are not that many games to watch. The season doesn’t start until mid to late August and is over except for the Super Bowl by mid January. Also, make sure she realizes that the games are only on Saturdays and Sundays all day with a couple of night games on Monday and Thursday.

The other thing you need to do is get her involved in the game. For example, let her order the pizza or get the drinks out of the fridge. Also let her know that she can even have conversations with you during the commercials. She can sit in the floor and massage your feet while the game is on. That way, you can have a great bonding experience. By getting her involved like this, you will be able to see how happy it makes her.

Just follow these tips and when you have been married as long as I have, your wife will have learned to appreciate how wonderful you are just like mine has. Good luck to all you men!!!

After reading this intel, I do not know how she put up with you either, but it must have been your nice sense of humor.

I prefer to buy my own tools, but I did appreciate it when my darling hubby used to let me finish honey-do jobs that I started, because I know some guys that butt right in and want to take over. I like to fix things around the house.

I never butted in and took over!!!!!

LOL ! Funny ! Not going to let my husband read this one ! Good sense of humor though...you could do stand up !

How is your husband going to learn how to make you happy if he doesn't read this. That's the problem, our wives expect us to read their minds about what makes them happy!

That was one of the best "Dear Marge" responses I have read in a long time. I see you haven't tried my recipe yet - live over 1,000 miles away and grant visiting rights!

My wife did tell me one year, in response to my question about what she wanted for Christmas; she said, "A divorce would be nice!".

I told her I wasn't planning on spending THAT much on her.

I guess this would work if you have a wife who likes to fix things. I seem to have a wife who likes to break things.

CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY

That "breaks" my heart

LOL x 10! I can't stop laughing....

I can almost guarantee, that there's someone out there who will take this seriously...

CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY

Now you've hurt my feelings...You didn't take it seriously!!!!!

Oh Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

James Emery Vigh Feb 28, 2010 15:56

CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY

Don't worry Jim,...I don't take myself seriously either.

So when you multiply LOL by 10 James, does that multiply the amount of the laughing or the volume or both?

CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY

I have been doing some online research and found that the Laugh-O-Meter works as follows:

lol = mild chuckle (lower case)
LOL = Pretty good belly laugh (all caps)
LOLx10 = Rolling in the floor and blowing beer out your nostrils.

Methinks some are more easily amused than others.

Methinks some are just to darn serious to laugh at all.

I would think that all that beer would mess up the keyboard something awful.

Too funny! I like your unique and most entertaining approach

My wife has put up with me now for 41 years. I think I will buy her a brand new vacuum cleaner for our next anniversary to let her know how much I lover her!!!

You truly do make me LOL x 1000 especially with your response below re the laugh meter ...

eg: LOLx10 = Rolling in the floor and blowing beer out your nostrils.

Hate to think what my LOL x 1000 means!! (low chuckle)

A great message from an experienced couple - long may it continue.

Regards,

Jim, excellent advice here. The one piece I can add is one Christmas because we had bought the kids lots of great gifts, my wife told me not to get her anything for Christmas as we'd spent so much. Foolishly I believed her. The book 'Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus' just about sums it up.

Bless your heart!!! You should have got her a new crock pot

Thanks, I don't care if people are laughing AT me or laughing WITH me so long as they laugh. Tell him to check out the Elvis video. (I know I can't sing so it's ok to laugh)
