Recycle
Earlier in the week, I received one of those “the man rules” funny emails from Teri about us guys not being mind readers, fine is an acceptable response, women crying is unfair, and on and on. As I read it, it triggered something I wrote last year called: A Few Simple Things. So for today, I will be recycling one of my Thoughts of the Day from 2009. I hope you like it.
Guys! Pay damn close attention to it. Do the things in the top 10 list and watch the changes in your woman. They will amaze you. Kick that insecure man ego to the curb and enjoy your relationship.
A Few Simple Things
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. ” - Aesop
Today's TOD is primarily for the guys in the group; however, I would greatly appreciate any comments and feedback from the girls.
In my 50 years of bouncing around the good Lord's earth, I've actually learned a thing or two. And yes more than how to drink a beer, ride a Harley, and shoot a gun. I think the things I'm most proud of are the things I've learned about boy/girl relationships over the last three years. I finally know how to do it. I've compiled Rod's Top 10 List – Smiles For The Girls.
10. Open those car doors and front doors. It makes a difference.
9. Tell the woman in your life how you feel about them and tell them often. Never assume they know. Make SURE they know.
8. Give her cards for the fun of it. Being thought of, makes all the difference in the world.
7. Speak from and with your heart. It doesn't hurt, I promise.
6. Never stop courting the woman in your life. Have those date nights often.
5. Hug her for no apparent reason. Hugs are great for the sole and spirit.
4. Random Acts of Kindness are great. Wash the clothes or dishes or clean the house. She will notice.
3. Flowers grow on days other than birthdays, anniversaries, Valentines, or days you are in the dog house. Give her flowers for no particular reason, and watch the expression you see on her face. It is priceless.
2. Praise and compliment her often. This one is a biggy, guys. I've heard (and have said it myself in the past before I knew better) "well she will expect it if I do it a lot." Well duh! She should expect it. She is the most important person in your life. If she is fishing for compliments, that is a sure fire sign she is not getting them. Either you give them or someone else will. Remember the list of Life's Priorities. Your spirituality is #1 and your spouse is #2. Everything else comes after that.
1. Pay attention, listen, and STAY CONNECTED!!!
Action Item - Guys, print the list above, put it on your desk, in your car or on the mirror in the bathroom. Commit it to memory, take action, and I guarantee your relationship will change and grow for the better.
