@Laura-while youe point is valid, that men should help around the house as much as possible, i do believe that if a man works all day and is exhausted when he gets home, a gentle and meaningful “I love you”, or “thank you, dear” is probably nice to hear on the wife’s end if nothing else. However, when i wake up one day and find that i am suddenly married, i will do my very best to show love and appreciation to my wife by not only thanking her verbally, but also by making her job infinitely easier.

I’d exchange most “I love you’s” and “thank you’s” for “hey, you had to pay the bills/clean up the mess in the kitchen/wash the clothes today, right? I already did that for you, no worries, honey” once in a while.

What you do is way more important than what you say.

I dated a girl that was upset too often about little things, and I would always respond with an “I’m sorry.” After a while, it was worn out. All of these phrases need moderation, but remember that it’s all in delivery. A “thank you” for handing you a dish is far different from looking her in the eyes and telling her how grateful you are for dinner.

Three things every man should learn to say when getting married:

Yes, dear.
I’m sorry, dear.
Of course I was listening.

In my family “I love you” was something rarely said, only in the most desperate times, and it seems that men who come from such families often have trouble saying it to their wives or girlfriends later in life. I’ve never had any problems like that, and really enjoy telling my girlfriend that I love her. Maybe that’s because I never felt comfortable saying it growing up, and I finally have an outlet. But I still have to screw up all my courage to say it to my parents once in awhile.

When I was 15 or 16, for some reason I decided, after reading a book on marriage, that if I got married I would tell my wife I loved her at least once a day, come sun, rain or hail . After 25 year of marriage I have achieved about a 90% success rate. It has turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. Interestingly during one our worst ‘hail’ when our marriage came within a whisker of wreckage, it was just as important for me as for her that I continued to say that even -especially- when I didn’t feel like it, It was just as much a statement tome as to her. It strengthened my resolve to live in the reality that love is primarily a choice. Some years after that period my wife told me how much she appreciated hearing it because it gave her hope and helped her in her hard work of re-connecting. Good blog and good comments.

Great article! Practice makes perfect, so let’s keep up our attentiveness to our woman not only to put wind in her sails and our relationship, but also as an example to our children that dad has the courage to be tender and accountable with mom. Another phrase that helps open up communication is “tell me more about that.”

Men can say this all they want, but if a woman thinks she can do better she’ll probably leave anyways

Plagiarism is copying the exact same words, not writing a story on the same topic! Nice try though!

Fraud. Plagiarism!

This article looks suspiciously close to an article posted online back in 2007.
