Have Hubby Happy

Always remember, The way to your man’s heart Is through his stomach, Always remember, To keep 10 minutes a day For intimacy, Always remember A hug and a kiss Every day, Always remember To praise him for doing Odd jobs around the house, Always remember, To drop a hint that it’s near your Birthday, don’t let him forget And then sulk, Always remember To say what a wonderful husband And father he is, Always remember That having a glass of wine together At dinner is romantic – never in excess Always remember To schedule a date night, Always remember To be attentive when he talks – listening Is very important, Always remember to put his slippers, Next to the heater in Winter Remember these rules for the rest of your life, And always remember to be a friend, a mistress and wife.

Hi Judy, Lovely to have you visit and thank-you for a great comment. Hope you are well, have just visited you - love both your Roses poem and the one about The Almighty when our time comes. Hugs, Jennifer.

Hi Jenny....this poem is an excellent flipside to your previous poem about keeping a wife happy! Both husband and wife can enjoy a blissful relationship by giving and sharing. May I add another point: Never to over pamper a husband...he might think she's covering up something!:) ~ Warm regards & hugs // paul

Well that could be a possibility i suppose, but the reverse may also be possible - everything in moderation perhaps should be the motto, but now and then each one of us deserves a little pampering,just a little - thanks for a thought provoked comment Paul, Ill keep that in mind! Warm regards and hugs, Jennifer.

Some of those do not work at all with my hubbie!! Some of them, however, are tried and true! NIcely done, jennifer. (for some reason, when I first read this, I thought I was reading Victor's work!!)

Well i will take that as a compliment as i think Victor's poems are awesome thanks Andrea! We are all different and unique and sure could all write and post many different rules different pertaining to husbands and wives on poetry soup. Hugs, Jennifer.
Date: 9/8/2019 11:03:00 AM
I love this poem's view into you because some of your items are uniquely you and all of them are sweet which is also specifically Jenny. I adore the line about warming his slippers - I've never done that one. I hope your husband read and embraced this poem for him as inspired by him. I'm typing finger-pecking style on my tablet which is challenging but hopefully I succeeded in pecking out how special I find this write. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Tips for both partners to heed - instinct however I think plays a big role - people don't seem to realise this, but it is an absolute inner felling of what you wish to do for someone you love. Hugs, Jennifer.

Exactly Lindsay, there is no magic formula or magic wand to wave, your respect, common sense and instinct will suffice. Funny, but I can tell from comments posted, who are the ones likely to run the good race to the bitter end. A great comment thanks Lindsay. Hugs, Jennifer.

So well written, Jennifer..such great practical advice. I loved every detail you put forward in joy of love and marriage..a winning formula indeed for a long marriage. Awesome ending.

Thank you Vijay, a wonderful comment as usual - you always lift my spirits when I read your awesome comments. It takes two to tango and it takes both partners in a marriage to always work at it and try their loving and level best to love and respect each other until the absolute end. Hugs and blessing, Jennifer.

A great piece penning some great advice Jennifer, I suppose every marriage is different and somethings listed is not for everybody like a heated slipper would do nothing for me and none of us like wine. but generally, much to ponder! Blessings, Gordon

Just a general opinion, allowing for many diverse viewpoints Gordon. One thing however, we should never assume we can change our partner, that is so wrong and does receive resistance from the one trying to be changed. We accept each other as to we did on the day we took our marriage vows. Hugs, Jennifer.
Date: 9/7/2019 3:31:00 PM
WoW! Jennifer, You should write for some type of collum. Because you are very wise my friend. This is some good advice. I really liked that last line. PS, I hope your "move" is going smoothly. Enjoy the rest of your weekend :-) Alexis

Hi Alexis - thanks for a WOW comment - I would love to do that. Our house is sold, we have chosen another and have to be out by the end of next month, frantically packing when I get the time. Hugs and blessings my friend. Jennifer.

You have offered some very good advice for having a happy marriage, Jennifer. Sometimes we take our partners for granted, so it's important to make sure they know how much we love them. The last line sums it up beautifully. Hugs, Carolyn

Thanks Carolyn, I submitted a write on the rule a wife should abide to and was asked to do one for the men - glad you enjoyed, but each of these sayings, if practised, will ensure a very happy life together for any couple. Thank-you Carolyn a very apt and lovely comment, Hugs, Jennifer.

Only 10 minutes *lol*? Mind you I do like the every day idea ;0). In fact I’d be glad to sacrifice the wine, if we can bump that up to at least 30 minutes.
