Rule #2, buy her some flowers or candy or gift cards to the scrapbooking store, JUST BECAUSE its Tuesday or Thursday or the sun is shining. She will not be expecting it and again, the girls in her office will think you are a GOD plus she will be happy that you were just thinking about her for no apparent reason.
Rule #3, get to know the lady at your local Hallmark card store and tell her your wives favorites things, type of dog, cat, color, picture frame or whatever and she will look out for new stuff when it comes in and give you a call.
Rule #4, cook her her favorite meal, clean the toilet and bathroom (since we make the most mess in it anyways) and other small things JUST BECAUSE.
Rule #5, this is easy for me in that I actually have a Mother In Law that I LOVE and she LOVES me as well. I have no problem working at her house, helping mow the lawn or whatever else is needed. Mother In Law Brownie points are not only good for the M-I-L but they actually go into your wife's account balance as well. Sort of like Double Coupon day at Krogers. Same coupon gets you double the reward for the In Law appreciates the help and the Daughter (your wife) appreciates you helping out her Momma.
I know for a fact that I will get in trouble SOON, if I am not already in trouble for something that I don't know about. Something I learned a long time ago is very simple. Don't give flowers, candy and stuff AFTER you mess up for we are all going to mess up from time to time (some of us more than others), but by doing all these JUST BECAUSE things throughout the year sort of build up our Brownie Point Bank Account to when we do mess up we have some points that we can withdraw from. Sort of like putting money in the bank, for when you need it, it is there. But if the balance is ZERO and you need some then good luck. Build up the brownie points and you are golden for you know as well as I do, that we as MEN, will ALL need them from time to time.
How to Get to fish when you want for as long as you want Class #1 is now out of session. That will be $59.95 please, all CASH is accepted, major credit cards with ID and personal checks as well with 3 ID's, blood type and first born child (wait a minute, keep the child) your favorite rod and reel combo will substitue nicely
She just wouldn't go for the one that was trimmed in red metal flake....
