Relationship advice for men.

  • Know what your wife wants out of life. A woman may not always reveal what it is she wants but instead may tell you what she thinks you want to hear. Dig deep and really find out about her opinions, desires and wishes. 
  • Be generous with your time. Make sure that you spend adequate "quality time" together and above all communicate in a loving and affectionate manner. 
  • Be confident. Women appreciate a confident man. However don't overdo it to the point of arrogance. 
  • Look after the little things. Small gestures such as breakfast in bed on occasions, or helping with a task that she doesn't have time to do, are a great way of showing your appreciation and affection. 
  • Look after yourself. Don't "slum it" at the weekends, still dress neatly and shower and shave. This goes a long way to showing respect for your wife. 
  • Show appreciation. Make sure that she knows that you don't take her for granted. 
  • Other women. Don't ogle or flirt with other women in front of your wife. No woman likes to feel that their husband may appreciate another woman more than themselves. 
  • Keep her happy and make her laugh. Laughter is a great therapeutic pickup in times of stress. 
  • Friends and family. Make a real effort to bond with her circle of friends and family. A woman relies on her family and social network to validate her relationship choices. 
  • Change your routine. Don't let your marriage become humdrum and routine. Always be on the lookout for new adventures and ways of involving you both in new and exciting changes. 
  • Personal criticism. Be careful here. This is something that needs to be handled with kit gloves ... women are very sensitive to any form of personal criticism. 
  • That time of the month. Be sensitive to the emotional swings that can occur around the same time each month. Sensitivity in this regard will surely win you brownie points.

Relationship advice for women.

  • Give him special attention. Engage him in light conversation about the things he loves to talk about, even if you find the subjects boring. Cook him his favorite meal from time to time ... food is always of interest to men. 
  • Seek his opinion. This is a great way to enhance married relationships. We are aware of a woman who rarely does anything without seeking her husbands opinion ... she asks for it then does her own thing. It keeps them both happy. 
  • Planning special occasions. Don't always leave this to your husband. Show him that a special occasion means as much to you as it does to him. He will really appreciate your efforts. 
  • Be spontaneous. Whether it be organizing a special meal at home, encouraging love making or hiring a movie for you both to watch in front of the fire. Spontaneity can add that sparkle to a married relationship and keep his interest and love and affection alive. 
  • Look after yourself. Men love their wives looking attractive. Don't let a day go by without attending to your makeup, hair and clothing. 
  • Intellectual. Don't ignore your education even if the kids are taking up most of your time. Read as many stimulating novels and non fiction books as you are able. Keep up with the news and current affairs. Join groups that will provide mental stimulation. Men really appreciate women who are able to converse on many levels.

Hi Brad & Michelle...
My wife left me just over three months ago and for the last several weeks I have been trying really hard to get her back.
I just wanted you to know that she has now come home and we have made up.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to all my emails with suggestions and support.
I believe that my following your advice to the letter made all the difference and most definitely led to her change of heart.

Hello Michelle...
I wonder if you remember the occasion last month when I emailed you about my partner cheating on me?
I have to admit that I was really in a state of shock because we have always had such a great relationship - lots of fun and intimacy. 
He said that he really loved me and that he stupidly just gave in to temptation. 
You pointed me in the right direction and I am very grateful for your advice.
I have now given Ryan another chance to redeem himself. Hopefully he won't let me down again.
Very kind regards

Dear Brad & Michelle... 
This is short message to let you know that after following your advice Richard and I have patched up our differences.
I know that it is not going to be a smooth ride but we are both keen to start over again and work hard on keeping our family together.
Your help is really appreciated.

Hi Brad...
When I last emailed you I must admit that I was really quite despondent about whether it was possible for my wife and I to patch up our long standing and quite serious differences.
Thank you for putting me back on track. You made me realize that I was the one at fault and that a total change in attitude was required.
Now my wife says that she can't believe how I have been able to transform myself back into the person that I used to be so many years ago.
I'm so grateful for your help.

Hi Michelle & Brad...
When you emailed me back with your advice on how I should approach the matter of my husband's growing and very concerning indifference to me and the children I must admit that initially I wasn't convinced that your unusual tactic would work.
However I gave it a go and hey presto - what a difference a day makes.
All of a sudden he has opened up to me and we are now back on the same wavelength.
Thanks a million guys.

Hi Michelle...
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the encouragement to sort out our marriage issues.
I've got to say that it has been an uphill struggle but I think that we are getting there at last.
James has even suggested that we go away for a romantic break.- I didn't think that he had a romantic bone left in his body. The change in his attitude is utterly amazing.
Thank you once again.
