100 Ways To Show Love To Your Wife HER Way - Part 1

By www.marriagemissions.com

A husband considers romance to be one way and the wife considers it to be another. The wife provides many romantic gestures which go unnoticed by her husband, because it wasn't romantic to him. The husband can spend precious time doing what he thinks will bless and romance his wife only to discover she didn't appreciate it at all.

What is wrong? Are the gestures extended not romantic or thoughtful? No. Are the recipients ungrateful and self-absorbed? No. The spouse is simply not romancing their spouse in a way that is romantic to them!

This is a great truth that once practiced is sure to produce lasting fruit. Study your spouse. Find out what romance means to them? It may surprise you!

But if you do your homework you will become the master of what really turns your spouse on!
