Things to say to your wife to keep her happy

by Vicki Phipps

Created on: March 21, 2009

My husband is the greatest guy alive in most every way, except for the way he communicates. If I'm sad, mad or even enraged, he never knows what to say to make everything okay. It's as if his mind has an issue of some kind that blocks what would seem logical to me to be the best way to make me happy, or at least okay. That's why I wrote him a script with tips and if you are a man who has issues with communication too, here's some wise advice for you.



WHAT TO SAY TO MAKE YOUR WIFE HAPPY EVERY DAY: A SCRIPT AND TIPS



1. "You look great today."

This is what you say when your wife asks, "How do I look in this?" Just keep in mind at all times that, in fact, it's never okay to say, "You look fine." If you do, your wife will be insulted by you, believe me. It's true. She'll think that what you are actually thinking is that she looks butt-ugly. To say your wife looks fine is never kind, and besides, if you had to spend hours and hours of time fixing your hair just to get prepared to go somewhere, you'd need a guy to say you look great. "Fine," won't do if you want your wife to speak to you.

2. Your are gorgeous and as thin as you've ever been."

Another word that should frequently be heard by her is, "fabulous and /or gorgeous." In fact, you should add to that, "You look as thin as you've ever been," especially if she asks, "Do I look fat?" Anything else you'd otherwise say would probably ruin your day and not make your wife happy in any way. When it comes to women, it's okay to exaggerate.



3. "I'm thinking of you and what I could do to make you happy today."

This is a great reply when your wife asks why you seem so lost in your thoughts. Although men don't tend to think, it's wise to make your wife believe that you do. If she asks what you're thinking, always say, "I'm thinking of you." This is especially true on a special day, like her birthday. It benefits you to say, "I thought of you today and that's why I thought of this gift I bought." Sometimes one gift can over ride all the words she never heard, and besides, gifts tend to buy a happy wife.



4. "I'm just admiring your beauty."





Do you get confused when your wife tries to communicate an issue with you? If so, it's wise to try what my guy says all the time when he's confused by me. It's something he memorized, I think. You see, void expressions tend to irritate me, especially when I discuss such stuff with my husband. I don't know why, but he will look at me with a blank stare when he is unaware of what to say to make me
