After watching a bit of Doctor Phil the other day (yes...I know...but Steve Harvey made it tolerable) I caught Steve's segment on his "Ten Commandments to Pleasing your Woman". He does a really nice job of compiling these 10 things that we men NEED to do, in order to avoid a fight and enjoy our relationships.
I wanted to take a bit of time (and Space) and break these Commandments down for you.
"Ten Commandants to Pleasing Your Woman"
Commandment 1. Thou Shalt Give her Free Time
Our ladies care about us, they genuinely do. However, just like us, sometimes they just want to have their own time. I don't mean to do dishes or laundry...that is not a source of escape or entertainment, contrary to popular belief. Time with friends or even just some time curled up with some tea and a good book will do. Whatever the case, give her that time. There is a really good chance she's earned it.
Commandment 2. Thou Shalt Remember the Small Things
This isn't referencing your car keys or to turn off the iron before you leave for work. The small things to her, are generally none existent to us. This is actually a plus, because women don't expect you to remember the small things (they just hope you do). Make sure that you do remember the arbitrary things in your relationship. For example, where you took her on your first date, what she ordered and if you're really good, what she was wearing. Men have given women a reason to get excited about these things, because we naturally overlook them. Take the time to remember the little things, and you can win some serious points.
Commandment 3. Thou Shalt Consistently find new ways to say "I Love You"
"I Love you" is a powerful phrase. However, just saying those words over and over again can get a bit repetitive. "Actions Speak Louder than Words" fellas. So, instead of just telling her you love her, show her. Maybe surprise her by making a romantic dinner or go out and start her car for her on a cold morning. It doesn't have to be a grand gesture. The smallest things can bring a smile to a woman's face.
Commandment 4. Thou Shalt Chip in
This commandment isn't necessarily about money. Sure, you should pay for things, but I believe this is geared more toward things in your daily schedule. Unloading the dishwasher, cleaning the bathrooms. Things that we men consider mundane and unimportant. News Flash gents, it isn't the 1940's anymore. Women are independent. We cannot expect them to sit in the kitchen and stay home with the children. It's time housework became priorities for both parties. Just remember to help her out. It shows that you care about things, that she cares about.
Commandment 5. Thou Shalt Help with the Kids
If you don't have children, that's fine, but if you do, they're yours too. Help her take care of them. It shouldn't be a chore or a burden either. Enjoy the time you have with your children, even it it's changing diapers or giving them a bath. That time is going to fly by and you don't want to miss out on all of the little things, that actually matter.
Commandment 6. Thou Shalt Embrace the Art of Foreplay
We men are geared for sex at just about anytime. Foreplay for a man, is walking by Victoria Secret in the mall, it doesn't take much. Women however, are like a diesel engine, she's gonna need a few minutes to warm up. We men, take sex for granted a lot of the time. We're in-out-and on our way. Women (in most cases) enjoy the emotional aspect of sex. They like to be romanticized. Why the hell do you think there are so many soap operas on daytime television? It sure as hell isn't the acting. Women just want to be appreciated, and believe it or not, foreplay is a perfect way to show them your appreciation.
Commandment 7. Thou Shalt Respect her Schedule
Have you ever tried to get a woman to do something she doesn't want to do? It's like trying to force a man to watch the Notebook for the 500th time. Yeah, they died together...he loved her a lot, we get it. I digress...a woman's schedule has to be put into a mans schedule. You have to work your life around her. Let's not forget about that little bump in the road we hit every month. Not only are we not getting sex (or you are if your all about getting those "red wings"), but in some cases we have to deal with a caged lion for a week. Best advice I can give you is to nod your head and memorize these two words, "Yes, Dear".
Commandment 8. Thou Shalt Send Her Roses, Just Because
Roses are Red, and your balls are Blue, if you never send her roses, she'll never fu*k you. I may not be the next William Shakespeare, but it conveys a message. Some men don't understand the significance of roses. Women, for the most part, love flowers. They also love, showing flowers off to other women. Your best bet is to have flowers sent to her office or wherever she works. The other women at work will be jealous and say things like "I wish my bf would send me flowers, that's so sweet." Remember this, a mans greatest enemy and greatest allies are his ladies friends. You'll either be praised and loved, or they'll drive over you with a Semi. Send her Flowers and they'll love you.
Commandment 9. Thou Shalt Remember the Golden Rule
The Golden Rule...Treat Others as you want to be treated? No...no...sorry this is with your wife and or girlfriend. The Golden Rule is simply this, you can be in a happy or you can be right. If you are arguing with your significant other and you want to remain happy, you let her win that argument. I don't care if she's calling the NFL the MLB. You nod your head and agree. She'll find out the truth eventually, and she can be mad at the person that tells her. It won't be you and you'll be happy.
Commandment 10. Thou Shalt ALWAYS take Her Side
This is a no brainer. Anyone who's ever been in a serious relationship, knows not to take someone else s side, against your wife or girlfriend. You'd be better off just asking for someone to smack you in the balls with a sledge hammer. You're her crutch, so don't go bailing on her....Ever. If you do, just go on home and get that couch ready. Take some books and your pillow, you'll be there for awhile.
Follow these Commandments and you should have a happy life together.
