Little Things Say a LOT!

Just like most women are planners, and men know this, men must try to really LISTEN. Nothing drives women more nuts then when they ask or tell you about plans and even remind you and you will have completely forgotten. If many men can remember to go to a friend’s bachelor party and have plans with the boys, then why can’t they remember a Saturday night date, or worse, a birthday, or anniversary?
Fact: Women get SO aggravated when dating guys and they put forth no effort to make plans or romance.

I laugh when couples say, “Oh, the honeymoon is over,” or “after marriage there’s no sex.” Men, you need to understand that if you want sex and spice, it goes hand and hand with romance and remembering and doing little things. Many men and women forget how turned on one gets from doing the little things, rather only doing something because it’s a Hallmark day.

Men, my Maven advice to keeping your woman happy: never forget the romance, whether in the initial stages of dating, married, or after kids. And, women, men have needs and wants just like you. It may not be getting the new hottest shoes, or latest bag Cameron Diaz is wearing, but often a home-cooked meal and a bottle of wine is just what the Dr. prescribed! My Maven advice to all you men and women out there is to keep the fire lit, and always remember the romance and champagne! Just like my step-dad has always said, “Cards and flowers are bought items and usually only given on required days. It’s the actions and the small things one does that keeps romance alive.” Romance means having to think, and not just paying for something that usually has very little meaning or thought put in! Still though, why do so many men and even some women have trouble being romantic when not expected to be?
