Christmas is much less expensive that way. But seriously, when your wife returns from the supermarket and you hear her struggling with those heavy bags of soda pop, milk, and canned goods, don't just sit there watching the game. Be a man. Show a little compassion. As soon as there is a commercial break, sprint from your easy chair and hold the door for her.
Little things mean a lot.
Women like compliments. It is your duty to compliment your wife or your girlfriend frequently. And as long as there are no holes in it. The hair is also a good thing to mention, but that can be dangerous. Sometimes you think they have done something or other with their hair and they haven't, and sometimes you think they haven't, and they have.
