To the men out there, learn the art of the compliment and pay one to
your wife, frequently.
Why?:
-because you love her, and she loves words. Spend words on her. For some
guys they cost you more than flowers and they'll be appreciated.
If that doesn't convince you then I offer this secondary reason:
-you're at war man! Shore up your defenses! If your wife isn't used to
receiving compliments and praise from you, then one day some other man
may come along and offer her those words. She won't be used to it,
they'll have more power than they should, and you'll find yourself
either trying to keep her, or answering her accusations (why don't you
say nice things like Jimmy at the office! At least HE liked my dress
today). But if when some person pays her a compliment, she thinks 'that
was a nice thing of them to say, but I prefer my husband compliments.'
then you're doing it right.
It's an offensive and defensive game men. Get in it!
