I once read a story in the newspaper of a lady who was having marriage problems. Her husband seemed to be a cold fish.

Someone gave her the suggestion of writing down a list of all the qualities she appreciates in her husband. She began her list, noting how he provides for the family. How she feels safe when he is around. She loved the color of his eyes and many of things about him.

When she finished her list, she put it in his briefcase.

He discovered the list at work and gave her a phone call telling her he was coming home a little early that night.

Men have needs too and if they are not met, find it difficult to love in return. We need to know we are appreciated for being men. For working hard and being strong. We do like hearing that our wives still find us attractive.

Most of all, men are visual. Women may tell us these things but our hearing is not always so good. Put it in writing. Seeing is believing.
