Tip #2: Know The Types of Surprises SHE will like

Think of yourself as being a lifelong student of your wife, learning her hopes, goals, challenges, fears, and – especially for this purpose – her likes and dislikes. Everyone feels loved when their partner knows what they want and gives it without being asked – and this is especially true of women.

Twitter_bird_logo-300x242Tweet this: “Everyone feels loved when their partner knows what they want and gives it without being asked.“

The better you know your wife, the more your surprise acts of kindness – big and small – will bless her.

For example, suppose you know that Thursdays are typically a late work night for her because she has a weekly report due on Friday mornings. That might be the perfect night to bring home takeout or cook dinner yourself, and surprise her with a text that says “come straight home; no need to stop at the store.”    Or if she’s working on a goal to get healthier, support her in that effort with an unplanned walk rather than a spur-of-the-moment ice cream run.  Or if she is not a morning person, and you know she would love to sleep in, quietly turn off her alarm and take the kids for breakfast on Saturday morning.

Pay close attention to the clues your wife leaves and file away ideas – then look for opportunities to fulfill them. She will feel so loved.
