Gentleman, it is all about planning. If we know that there are big games on Saturday, then we need to prepare before hand. It is just like football, the coaches don't start preparing for the game the day of, they start preparing the minute the last game is over; we need to follow this pattern.We can not tell our wife on Saturday that there are five games we want to watch. I have only been married a short time and I already know this doesn't work, and it will usually do more harm than good. It is all about buttering up the wife before Saturday which will ensure your perfect score.
My second experiment took place this week. My wife does not really enjoy cooking, but she is a trooper and is always willing to cook. Friday nights, I get off of work at 7, and my wife gets out of school at 8. While I was driving home, I started to brainstorm on what I could do to watch the games the next day.A stroke of brilliance came. I decided that I would make date night on Friday.
When she returned home from school, I had a romantic Italian dinner ready: my delicious spaghetti, garlic break, salad, and fresh peaches. When she walked in the door she was surprised, relieved, and grateful that she did not have to cook and we didn't have to spend money on take out.
Most of you men would stop at this point and think you ensured a victory: YOU"RE WRONG. You can't stop with dinner, that is like your wife letting you watch the game until half time. You have to take it to the next level, guys. When dinner was over, I knew that the way to my wife's heart was through ice cream. We jumped in the car, got some ice cream, grabbed a red box, and cuddled on the couch (yeah, I am not afraid to admit I like cuddling). It was actually a great night. Date night for the week was accomplished and I still had Saturday to enjoy football.
The next morning my wife asked me if I would like to go run some errands. I told her that I had some homework and asked if she would be willing do them alone this time. She was fine with that, and then she asked if I would run over to her friends with her. I nervously answered that I didn't want to go. Usually she bugs me and gives a guilt trip for this, but she was okay with it this time and was out the door. It all goes back to the ice cream boyz. Find your wife's sweet spot, surprise her with something out of the ordinary, and once again you will have the perfect score!
Sounds like a great idea!
