This article pretty much hit the nail on the head in EVERY category. Written by a woman. I think every woman should read and memorize this. Its key to having a happy, thriving, successful relationship.

In a totally unexpected ironic twist...

18. Never read advice on the internet from strangers. They probably don’t know you and will make you do stupid crap that will not be applicable or appropriate in your marriage…

Like you, Ms. Divorced Article Writing Woman?

Yeah, aside from the "make him feel like a man" and "be feminine" BS, it's pretty basic stuff.

Most of that has been said for years.

I don't think there is a magic formula for the perfect relationship/marriage.

What a joke....every ad on there was bikinis, butts and boobs - in other words, catering to men just as the "advice" was.

Sure - basically, dote on him every moment that you're not sexing him...and then basically leave him alone and don't bug him.

Well, that's not real life - I guess his partner, his wife doesn't need anything from him - she exists to serve his needs. So yeah, if I could find a man to do exactly the same for me - give me everything and expect nothing in return that'd be perfect...but that ain't real.

A few points were good, a few were restating the same thing three different ways. And then there was the hypocritical love him the way he needs it but he should love you his way.

I'm a self-centered guy but even that article left me thinking, what is the woman supposed to get out of this? Shouldn't be all one-sided.

The tone is condescending, but probably not the intent. Be vulnerable and be transparent are the ones that resonate for me the most. Both must be very hard, because of the perceived high risk.

I wonder how many women, here, have tried this to their benefit or detriment of their relationship?
