- Tell your sweetheart you love her. She can never hear it too often.
- If you like the way she looks, dresses, talks, smells, let her know it. But if you don’t like something about her, keep it to yourself.
- Never try to make her jealous.
- Treat her with the same respect and courtesy you show women you don’t know well.
- In addition to remembering her on all the gift-giving occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, or Christmas, from time to time surprise her with a little gift for no reason at all.
- If you’ve had an especially wonderful evening together, send her flowers or a single rose the next morning. If she’s a working woman, send it to her place of employment. She will appreciate it twice as much.
- When you are at a party together, never leave her alone while you’re off talking with someone else.
- Tell her she is absolutely the most wonderful person in the world, and she’ll believe that you are.
- If you want to be loved, be loving. Be nice to her relatives and they’ll tell her how lucky she is to have you.

- Tell him often that you love him. If you’re married, don’t ask him if he loves you, or he’s liable to say, “I married you, didn’t I?”
- Never criticize him in public. If you do have a criticism, be sure it’s constructive and offered in the spirit of love and helpfulness, not in anger or as a put-down.
- Don’t bad mouth his friends or worse yet, his relatives.
- Never keep him waiting. If he has a tendency to be late, always have something in your purse to read. It makes the waiting more tolerable, and you will be les apt to chew him out when he finally shows up.
- Don’t call him at work unless it’s absolutely necessary.
- Every man needs a desk, a closet or a cupboard to call his own. Don’t try to tidy it up for him even though it’s a cluttered mess and an eyesore.
- I he eats ? or drinks ? a little too much, don’t nag him about it. But do remind him in a loving you wish he’d take better care of himself because you’d like to have him around to grow old and gray with.
- Never quiz him about where he’s been or with whom.
- Don’t sulk. If something’s bugging you, talk it out and clear the air. If he asks what’s eating you, don’t say “Nothing” or “You should know.”
- Never lie to him. If there is something you prefer not to tell him, keep quiet. But if you tell him something, be sure it’s the truth.
- Keep yourself clean from head to toe.
- Develop some interests other than just him. The more outside interests you have, the more interesting to him you’ll be.
- Surprise him occasionally. A little love note left on his pillow, in his lunch pail or briefcase, will warm his heart. |
