Valentine's Day Without Having To Sleep In The Dog House

SHE simple happy essentials
Forget the mass marketed, red hearted Valentine Day pressure that starts
heating up about now. Steer clear of high priced flowers, tasteless candy
hearts and stuffed bears. Follow these tips to make the woman you love
feel cherished.
Tell her Valentine's Day means more than romance and gifts. It means
she'll be the focus of your caring attention, dutiful doting and loving
affection.
1. Concentration is the Name of the Game. Guys, you have an amazing
ability to focus and solve problems! Focus on how special she is to you.
Instead of stressing about the perfect Valentine’s gift, think about all
the fun, silly, spunky, sexy, serious and loving things that she does for
you. Chances are she’s doing exactly what she wants you to do in return.
Think about who she is. What makes her smile? What she is truly passionate
about? What small little things could you do at home every day that would
make her feel more loved?
2. Under Promise and Over Deliver. Make promises early and make them
often…just keep them. No emergency is more important than her love. Show
your love and respect for her by honoring your time together and your
commitments. Leave work early and call her on the way home and tell her
you just couldn’t wait to see her. Ask her if she’d like you to pick
up something special before you get there.
3. Be a Mirror. We reflect the world around us… the good, the bad and
the ugly. Be mindful of her moods. When she approaches you with love and
joy, mirror it back to her and she’ll feel especially loved and close to
you.
4. Note It. Love notes are a sure way to inspire a loving connection
everyday of the year. They don’t all have to be sappy poems. Buy a
calendar, keep it in the bathroom and write a reason a day that you
appreciate and admire her. Follow her to the store or the dry cleaners and
leave a note on her car in the parking lot. Drop them in her purse or
write them on the bathroom mirror with a dry erase pen for her to wake up
to.
5. Dream Date. Take her on a dream date that won’t cost you a dime. Tell
her the only topic of conversation is to hear about her dreams. What she
loves. What she wants to do before she leaves the planet. What she’d
like to learn. Where she’d like to travel. Who she most admires. Let her
talk freely without stopping then write a few down later and help her
create her dreams.
6. Use Actions and Words. Show her how much you love her by going out of
your way to do little things and then reinforce it by telling her.
“I’d be happy to _____ because I want to show you how much I
appreciate you” or… “I knew you’d feel special coming home to
_____” or… “I wanted to show you how much I love by _____”
7. Hugs for Health. 4 hugs for survival. 8 hugs for maintenance. 12 hugs
for growth. Each and everyday.
8. Bon Appetite. Cook her favorite food. Pick up restaurant delivery on
the way home or have one of the online gourmet delivery options deliver a
5 course meal to your doorstep. Dim the lights. Play Sinatra or another
one of her favorites and tidy the kitchen up too!
9. Sleep Tight Wishes and Bedtime Kisses. Make the very last moment of her
day special by kissing her softly, accommodating a simple request like
water or Kleenex, pull the covers up to her chin, touch her forehead and
tell her you love her. Give her a kiss on the shoulder first thing in the
morning too.
