What Not to Do!

When planning to impress your wife on your wedding anniversary, try to avoid certain gestures and concentrate on positive expressions that illuminate your loving and unspoken feelings. Women are impressed by the size of the thought (or lack of it) rather than the gift.

Before you think about what to do for your wife, take a look at what not to do on this special day.

DO NOT:

• Make her an early morning cup of tea while forgetting whether she takes sugar, milk, lemon or otherwise.
• Offer to attend to the laundry, and then take it to your mother.
• Make comments relating to what a wonderful cook your mother is.
• Give her a cooking book, or any other book that remotely contains any reference to words such as ‘housekeeping, budgeting, diet or exercise’.
• Purchase underwear or nightwear that is three sizes too small for her.
• Give her silver when she prefers gold.
• Buy her a year’s subscription to your favorite magazine.
• Buy her a lawn mower. Although your intention may be to say you will be mowing the lawn for her, this is the equivalent of her buying you a new kitchen appliance.
• Buy her a vacuum cleaner unless she specifically asked for one.
• Buy her revealing lingerie if you know she hates it.
• Point to her wedding dress and suggest she tries to squeeze into it tonight.
• Forget the flowers if you know she likes them.
• Plan on taking her to the local ‘Bar-n-Brawl’ for celebratory drinks.
• Plan on taking her to the amateur fight night for a close and cultural evening together.
• Take her to dinner, then an action movie, and then go home to top it off with wrestling matches on TV. -- by Tina
