you don't suppose we've been in 'wife training' do you?
but no one ever hears about it because men don't talk?
An excellent point!!
Oh, I think we pretty much have them figured out before marriage. Pretty basic for the most part - Love (covers several areas), food, RESPECT, food, loyalty, food, peace and quiet - naps, man toys, food, clean underwear, and cookies. And a little bit of freedom.
(I encourage my hubby to golf once a week, it's good for him and he loves it) Otherwise, just spoil them rotten. Anything else is a process of elimination according to individual personalities.
don't talk - one of the things couples have issues over - we need communication to understand what they feel or even what they need at times. We ladies can do many things, and often several at one time, but we don't read minds although after a few years of marriage we're apt at reading moods.
