The majority of men spend many hours, days, and even years
to date a woman they love. During this period of courtshipping, no stone is
left unturned to impress the women of their dreams!
Until they are married. Then, under normal circumstances
dating and courtshipping ends there and then. There is no need to stop it. You
must keep the spark in your marriage and still show your wife you love here and
adore her. But, most importantly that you still care for her.
Here are some tips:
1. Surprise picnic: Many restaurants and catering businesses
provide a full picnic service to clients where they provide a picnic basket
with all accessories. All you have to do is to provide a blanket, find the
ideal picnic spot, and bring your lovely wife. Be adventurous. Do not follow
routine and go to your average picnic spot. A man was driving through this
upmarket suburb when he saw this mansion with its magnificent gardens and
nature surroundings. He stopped and asked permission to bring his wife there
for a picnic. The owner was at first reluctant but with a little persuasion he
agreed and they had the most wonderful picnic ever!
2. Break-away-weekend: This is always a favourite. Arrange
the most perfect break-away-weekend ever. It must be far from the maddening
crowd; only you and her. Pack everything for her, arrange a house
sitter-cum-baby sitter, pack her overnight bags, and when she returns home from
work on the Friday wait for her in the driveway and take her like a knight in
shining armour away for the weekend.
3. Camp out in your back-yard: The same scene as the
break-away weekend. Take your children to the grandparents or for a sleepover
at friends. Put up your tent and arrange for everything. Lock the house for the
weekend and wait for her. There in the comfort of your back-yard you can have
quality time together.
These three tips can be done, say every three months. But
don’t wait too long. Building your marriage and nurturing it is a daily thing.
Tell her you love her every day and let it not only be words. Show her you are
serious. At least every fortnight, take her out for dinner. No need to be a
black-tie occasion. The more informal the more she would appreciate it. Try the
fish-and-chipper on the corner – just as good! At least once a week give her
flowers. No need for expensive arrangements. One flower picked in your own
garden would also be more appreciated. Go out of your way and get the song “I
give you a daisy a day dear” and play it to her whenever you have a quiet time
together.
Some wise words:
Listening
Listening and hearing are two different things. When a
person is truly listening they not only hear the words, but they feel the
emotion behind these words. True communication occurs when someone truly
listens and not just hears the words.
