(These helpful hints work both ways!)  Study these 'helper hints' and improve your relationship: (1) I need to come home to a place of peace where I can recover from a bad day, without getting hit with stress the moment I walk in (2) I love it when she touches me, rubs my back, stands close to me. Her touch is my medicine (3) be more patient with me in social situations. Don't talk for me, and don't try to put me right in front of others (4) when we go through tough times don't make me feel like a loser. That's so important to me (5) treat me like an adult - maybe even a friend you'd like to get to know better. That kind of respect goes a long way (6) a simple dinner with my wife and kids around the table; that's family to me. All of us together talking about whatever. We could be having beans and hot dogs; it doesn't matter (7) she cares about my sexual needs; never shames me or says no; I mean, a rain check’s fine, but she always makes me feel wanted (8) she never tries to make me perform spiritually - like public praying or speaking up at church. I'm awkward with that stuff and she understands. That's cool. It actually helps me want to grow in my faith (9) she shares my goals; asks me about them constantly. They're at the top of her prayer list. She helps me watch for what God might be doing to help make them come true.'  Now – most important husbands - These helpful hints work both ways!  What we give will reflect back with what we get!  Get it?
