Have you ever felt confused trying to figure out what will make your wife happy? Do you think you need marriage counseling to find out?

You really don’t have to be a mind reader to know how to please the woman in your life. If fact, it isn’t necessary to ask her what she wants and you don’t need months of marriage counseling. All you have to do is stop, look and listen. Closely observe what your wife does for you, wait two weeks, and then do the same thing for her. Sound simple? It is, but often it’s the simplest things that bring about the most happiness and change. Here’s how this works:

She calls you at work just to let you know she’s thinking of you. Wait two weeks and

call her with the same type of “I was just thinking of you) call.

She writes you a love note and leaves it in your lunch box or briefcase. Wait two weeks and leave a note in her purse or on her cell phone or the bathroom mirror.

She entertains the kids all day on Sunday, while you watch a football game with your buddies. Wait two weeks, and give her the day off while you take care of the kids.

She massages your neck and shoulders while you are reading the newspaper or watching TV. Wait two weeks, and while she’s watching TV or reading a book, give her a relaxing massage.

Hugs, kisses, conversation, surprise gifts, and anything else your mate does for you are a clear indication of what your mate really wants and needs. If every couple were to practice this exercise faithfully, the divorce rate would drop dramatically, because everyone would be getting his or her needs met. By paying close attention, you’ll see how much your mate craves what it is that she is giving or doing for you.

If you have felt that you were at a disadvantage because you aren’t imaginative, creative, or romantic, you are probably with a very creative, romantic, imaginative woman, since opposites attract. All you have to do is watch what she does, wait two weeks, and do what she did. You’ll hit the mark every time, because all you will be doing is acting on the clues she’s given you. Oh, how I love simplicity!
