A Gift She Really Wants

The Generous Husband

Would you like to give your wife a gift she really wants? A gift she will cherish for years to come? How about making a permanent change you know she wants? It might be no longer doing or saying something she dislikes. Or it could be starting to do something she has indicated she’d like you to do.

I know changes like this aren’t easy. The question you have to ask yourself is if you think she’s worth it. If she is, do whatever it takes to make the change, and to stick to it.

If you have a good idea what change she would like, I think the best option is to do it without saying anything. Let her figure it out; let her ask you about it when she sees the results.

If you have no idea what she would like you to change, you could ask her. If you think that would end badly, the list below is from answers 174 women gave when asked what one change they would like their husband to give them as a Christmas gift.

• Help out: Preferably without being asked. If you’re not sure, ask what you can do. Oh, and please pick up after yourself!
• Communication: She would like your attention when she is talking with you. Better communication skills and less harshness were also requested by a number of women.
• Anger and lack of patience were mentioned by a number of respondents.
• Plenty of wives want more time with hubby, and the majority of them complained about the amount of time he spent on video games, television, and the Internet. Don’t get so into your technology you ignore your wife!
• Some were concerned about hubby and the kids. A few wanted more help, but most were more concerned about him spending time with the children. Several mentioned wanting him to be a better example and spiritual leader.
• Integrity was mentioned by a number of women. A couple specifically mentioned lying, but most said they want him to “do what he says he will” and “finish what he starts”.
• Health issues: Weight, smoking, exercise, drinking, and drugs were all concerns.
• Sex. Yes, some want better sex. A couple want more, but the bigger issue is showing desire for HER rather than for sex.
• Also, when you do have sex, be sure to give her pleasure.
• Personal hygiene: Brush, floss, and showering regularly would be appreciated by a number of the ladies.
• Stop lusting after other women. Yup, they see you doing it.
