(Ok I lied. But I want men to read this.)
I’m jumping on the band wagon. We’ve all gotten the posts lately about what your sons and daughters should know. Well, my husband knows a few things so I thought I’d share them with you. So guys- here’s what you need to know about your wife.
#1. We like sex.
(I know it’s a shock…I even heard a few of you women gasp, but it’s true.) We want to have our world rocked. We just may need to be reminded. Let me put it in simpler terms….
Men are like microwaves, women are like slow cookers.
Turn us on low in the morning and let it simmer all day.
~Tell us we’re pretty~ Bring us coffee ~Kiss us FOR REAL~Send us a flirty afternoon text ~
Make us feel like we are the only person that can quench your hot dirty desire . Yes, I read Twilight and 50 Shades. We might not want our blood sucked or to use a safe word, but we all want to be desired! (And if you play the “I must have you right this very minute because you are so freaking sexy” card, then that slowcooker becomes a microwave pretty darn quick.)
#2: We need validation!
Oh yeah, validate us, baby. Punch that card! Punch it with a “I couldn’t do this without you” or “I appreciate what you do.” It will go along way. You might even get some “free parking” …if you know what I mean. 😉
#3. Change the oil.
This is not a metaphor. We really want you to get the oil changed in the car. Or get the car washed. Or fill us up (again not a metaphor.) The car is where we spend most of our time ~driving your offspring (or your dry cleaning) around. It’s such a bummer when we have to worry our pretty little heads about car maintenance.
#4. It’s the “ask” that counts.
Here’s a little secret, fellas. All you have to do is ask if we need help. 9 times out of 10 we will say no thanks, but the effort was made and you get points. Score! We want your willingness to pitch in, and then most of the time, we still want to do it ourselves.
#5. Boom Goes the Dynamite.
This has nothing to do with your wife. I just feel guilty for the lie I told earlier.This is your funny sports clip.

What do you think? Yeah, you! Leave me a comment. 🙂
Totally nailed it.
This is soooo funny
Thanks Barbara!
That’s a big duh! 🙂
I think what would help all us ladies is to spend some time with our sons to remind us that men are not complicated creatures…they are simple, wonderful beings that have basic needs- food, sports, sleep, and physical contact, not necessarily in that order. They aren’t much different at 40 then they are at 14, just more or less hairy in all the wrong places and we love them anyway! 🙂
lol yes jennifer! And sometimes they need to be reminded that we need a few things too! Thanks for commenting! xoxo
