COACHING CORNER
FOR WOMEN ONLY....
10 helpful hints for pleasing your man!
It's not about you. In a relationship you need to be more concerned with meeting the needs of our partner than having our own needs met. If you are both working to please the other..... trust me, it works!!
At the end of last year, we looked at tips for men on how to please your woman. This issue will explore some corresponding tips for women - we don't want our men not being cared for!
So, men, now is your opportunity to pass this on to all the women in your life (sisters, mothers, friends, cousins, work colleagues etc) as a gentle reminder!
1. Allow cave time. Most of you would have read or be familiar with John Gray's, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Men need time away. Ask your man when his is, ie when he comes home from work? I have worked out for Leigh it's when I have upset him - he needs time to heal.
2. Buy him tickets..... to a sports match, concert, play, movie - whatever is his thing.
3. Hire his dream car for a day. That means you have to find out what it is, and what it is!
4. Sex. Need I say more? Try saying you're happy to make love every morning and night for a week. (have to be able to follow through though!!)
5. Love notes. Try putting chocolates and/or raunchy love notes in his undie/sock drawer.
6. Willingly let him control the remote. And don't complain when he flicks all the time and you only get to watch your shows in 10 sec bits!
7. Work on your appearance.
We all know that on the whole men are more 'visual' than women. Like it or not, the way we look affects our men. This doesn't mean they won't love us when we're not looking our best, but dress nicely for him, do your hair & makeup. Lose a bit of weight if you need to.
8. Admire and respect his work..
For us, our major sense of security comes from relationships. For men, it's from their work. They do have a strong sense of being the 'provider' for the family. Even if you work full time too, there's a strong chance your man gets more of his security from his work than you do. Tell him you appreciate his work and his provision. Honour and respect what he does and let him know that.
9. Clean his car.... or even your own! This tip came from my husband you know what I need to keep in mind ;-)
10.Turn up naked!. This was suggested by a friend.... let your imaginations go on this one!!.
FORTNIGHT
I was talking with a friend in Canada a week or so ago and she said there is no concept of 'fortnight' in Canada. I thought I'd look up the meaning of 'fortnight' for the assistance of North American readers....
www.dictionary.com defines fortnight as simply a period of 14 days/nights. The origin it says is from Middle English fourtenight, alteration of fourtene night, fourteen nights.
This newsletter is mean to be fortnightly and I apologise for slipping up on the frequency lately.
