7 tips to keep your wife loving you
Here's from an interesting article i read from japantoday.com...
Here are the seven tips that Takada says worked for him.
1. Listen to your wife attentively at least once a day without asking her to hurry up or get to the point.
2. Share the housework.
3. Do not forget to say "Thank you" and "You are kind."
4. Never look down at your wife.
5. Do your work together with your wife if you are self-employed.
6. Do not fight. Listen to your wife patiently at first, even if you think she is completely wrong.
7. If there is something you really need or want to buy, persuade your wife daily so that she will come around to understanding why you want it. (Many wives still take care of household expenditures and pull the purse strings in Japan.)
Finally, Takada advises guys, "If you want your wife to change, you need to change, too."
i must say that his 7 points are truely words of wisdom... guess most of us brought up in singapore should know we should do this (but many fail to practise anyway)... it is more so surprising that this is coming from a japanese... japanese males are infamous for being chauvinists... coming out with this list alone suggests that the average japanese males dun practise as said, or so i infer...
anyway, interesting to see where he got these tips from... hehe... he learnt this tips by reading how-to books for business!!?!?!! haha...
Takada is a practitioner in acupuncture and moxibustion, and opened his own clinic in Tokyo three years ago. He married his wife, 10 years his junior, eight years ago. At first, his wife was very supportive and very kind until Takada started spending more time at his clinic.
"My wife must have wanted me to help her with housework and childcare," he recalls. His wife became unsupportive of his work and started sniping at him. Takada tried to find a way to improve their relationship by reading how-to books for business (he thought the business management model might apply to improving wives). Gradually, their relationship got better.
