Reply:My biggest turn on is a clean house and no clothes on the floor! That is the truth. Also, some of the chores on my "honey-do" list completed. We love that stuff!
Reply:Honestly. Help with the housework or cooking. There's something sexy about a man in the kitchen (especially with an apron) and don't leave the dishes and kitchen for her to clean. Or take her on a date somewhere like the zoo or an amusement park where you can act like a couple of silly kids. Wow what a good guy you are. Your wife must be a very lucky lady.
Reply:Give her a day at the spa
Reply:Judging by your nickname, stop watching so much sports, and spend time with HER, doing whatever she wants to do!





She probably feels neglected whenever your favorites are on, or when you're out playing them.
Reply:You have gotten suggestions all over the board. Here is a way to help you categorize them and pick one.


You see, there are five "languages of love" - that is, ways you can express to someone else that you value them:





1. Quality Time


2. Giving physical objects (gifts)


3. Acts of service


4. Physical affection


5. Words of praise





Everyone likes things from every category, but for every person, there is one of the five that truly makes them feel valued. You need to find out which of the 5 is most valuable to your wife. The easiest way to tell is if she ever complains, what she complains about. If she does actually ask you for anything, what is it typically? You can also tell by what she tries to do for you when she expresses appreciation. Our default for expressing it is also often our own preference for receiving.





Examples from each category:


1. Going away for a weekend without the kids (if any)


2. Giving flowers or jewelry


3. Cleaning the house, doing the cooking


4. Extra hugs, kisses, holding hands, etc (not just THE act.)


5. Writing a heart felt love letter.





You can tell which category each of all your other suggestions fell into pretty easily. So, once you determine her category, look at the suggestions that match that and choose one.





For example, me personally, words mean the most to me, so I would most appreciate a love letter.





The other thing is that you shouldn't let this go and just make huge gestures once in a while. Lots of little ones are worth as much, if not more. For me, words of praise being mine, I need to hear the three words all the time. I need to hear thank you, I need to hear compliments, and I especially can't handle criticism. Your life will be so much better if you can make her feel special all the time.
Reply:Im glad that you have been recieving lots of respond towards on things that you want to do for your wife. Have you tried romantic dinner just the two of you??.not in a restaurant but in your own home where you can have more privacy together. Pick a room in your house, set a table for 2 and put 1 long stem rose, then put lots of lite candles all over the room to set the mood of romance. if you have a music ,make sure it's soft music, then make her favorite meal with white wine for the two of you. And if you do this without her knowing it, she will be touch and maybe cry as well.


Make this night a very special night for her and you'll see that she will adore you more in a long run........good luck and have fun!!
Reply:Tell you you love her all of the time and give her lots of kisses. And make her dinner! That's what mine does.
Reply:Well....a great licking is usually appreciated.
Reply:Thank her. Tell her you appreciate her. Give details. Women like when I guy picks up on the small things.


Help her out with chores. Respect her. Spend quality time together. Maybe a sensual massage from you would be nice. I don't know if you have one of these places in your area, but they have 'kitchens' where you go (gourmet recipes and ingredients provided) and prepare like a week or two worth of dinners in one night while listening to music and having a glass or two of wine.
Reply:clean the house
Reply:Cleaning house is the best way. Mine usaully maddens me all the time but when i see he actually took the time and has cleaned somthing for me i forget all the negatives for a while. Dont forget you can also book her an appoitment for a day at the spa or getting a manicure or pedacure, most places are having sales right now as it is spring.
Reply:buy her a nice pair of shoes....girls love shoes....
Reply:Pay attention to her when she talks. Ask questions - repeat what she says to make sure you are hearing her correctly - if you are not sure what she means - ask for more details. Turn off the damned TV and computer and focus on her when you have a conversation.





Send her love notes - call her for no reason other than to say you love her and were thinking of her. What did you do during your dating days? You made her feel like she was a high priority in your life and that you couldn't wait to see her to talk and just be with her. Do what you did then. Surprise her. She'll love it.
