For Men: The Secret to
Romancing Your
Wife

By Dr. John Gray, taken from http://www.marsvenus.com/

Who knew the trash was so important?

You are the king of the romantic gesture -
you buy flowers, candy, and trinkets from
Tiffany's, yet your batting average in the bedroom
is worse than a pitcher on a baseball team. What
gives? Don't women like these things? Well, yes
they do, but here's a tip for you: If you really
want to score in the bedroom, then try taking out
the trash.

That's right. Without being asked or
reminded...take out the trash. It is cheaper
than flowers, and you get the same effect or
better.

Although it may seem a dozen roses would be a
far more romantic gesture than hauling garbage to
the curb, the fact of the matter is that to a
woman, you get one point for each. Yup, that's one
point for the dozen red roses that cost you $29.95
and one point for taking out the trash, which cost
you nothing but a mere minute of your time.

In addition, by contributing to the household
duties, you lighten her load, which gives her more
time and energy for showing her appreciation. If
you really want to up your odds for a little
nookie at night, offer to do the dishes as well.
Again, it's a point in your favor that doesn't
cost anything (unlike Godiva chocolates) and your
thoughtfulness will pay off in the end.

Picture this scenario: It's 8:00 am and
you're both running late. You rush out the door
with a quick, "Bye, honey!" Meanwhile, she's
mopping up the puddle you left in the bathroom
after your shower, putting the pile of towels and
clothes you left strewn in the middle of the floor
in the hamper, and gathering up the dry cleaning
to drop off.

On her way out the door, she sees that you
have neglected yet again to do your share. She has
to drop the dry cleaning and lug the trash cans
down the driveway. Tottering in her high heels,
she's rushing because the garbage truck is
barreling down the road. She gets a run in her
stocking. She has to go back in the house to
change. Now she's really late for work.

She doesn't have time to stop at the dry
cleaners before work. Her boss chews her out for
being late. She has to stay later to catch up and
when she gets to the dry cleaners after work, it
has just closed. She gets home and starts dinner
but in the middle of preparations she finds that
there's no more milk. You put back the carton with
three drops left in it into the refrigerator. Then
you waltz in the door with a dozen roses - all
ready to be romantic. Think you're getting any
tonight? Think again. Yeah, maybe you get one
point for the roses, but you lost points for the
puddle, the towels, the milk carton, the trash
can, etc. . . .

The secret to romancing your honey is that
foreplay isn't the fifteen minutes before
intercourse - it's the twenty-four hours
prior. Here's a replay of the same scenario
that will increase the odds in your favor for some
good lovin' in the evening:

After you take your shower, you mop up the
puddle and deposit your clothes and towels in the
hamper. As you're about to leave, you ask, "Honey,
do you need me to drop anything off or pick
anything up for you? I think we may need some
milk." She says, "If you could pick some up on the
way home, that would be great. I was going to make
fettuccine alfredo tonight. Also, could you drop
off the dry cleaning?' You say, "No problem," and
pick up the pile. You stop and give her a big kiss
good-bye. The kind of kiss that makes her think
about you all day. With the dry-cleaning under one
arm, you drag each trashcan out to the curb and
then you head for work. You come home with some
milk from the grocery store. She gives you a big
kiss, "Thanks so much, honey. I really appreciate
you doing that." Then after dinner, you tell her,
"No, no - you worked so hard to make this
delicious meal. I'll do the dishes."

So now you didn't even buy flowers, but you
get a point for not leaving a puddle, for cleaning
up after yourself, for remembering that you drank
the last of the milk, for offering to pick some
up, for dropping off the dry cleaning, for taking
out the trash, for the kiss good-bye and for doing
the dishes. That's eight points. Of course, life
isn't about keeping score, but it is about knowing
how to please your partner. The man who has scored
eight points in one day will win his partner's
undying appreciation.

Just imagine how she might choose to show you
how much she
cares!
