And beer.
Lots of beer...

How you doing, Greta?
All humor aside, I believe this is absolutely correct for most men.
I think to a great extent this is true. Tell him thanks for being a great provider, for taking such good care of the family, etc. That’s easy for me to say because my guy is all of those things and has been our whole marriage (coming up on 36 years).
Works for me. I’ll never get a man’s heart through his stomach. I’m going for the liver.
There is an old joke about the way men and women communicate.
Take a STOP sign. Obviously designed by a man. Bright red, one word, capital letters. Couldn’t be more clear.
If a woman had designed it it would say, “If you really loved and understood me, you would know what it is that I want you to do right now.”
A man is better off living in the corner of a hot tin roof than with a scornful woman.
-The Bible-
What do men want? It ain’t love. It’s respect.
I agree. If she admires him, then all the other stuff will follow. If your women has contempt for you, it's a sign that it's time to move on.
Good stuff. Wives MUST resist any temptation to demean their honorable husband. And women should NEVER marry a dishonorable man.
For most men, the ugliest trait in a woman is she who publicly degrades & derides her spouse.
For most women, the ugliest trait in a man is he who thinks only of himself.
Show up naked. Bring food and beer.

I would say that sounds just like the Mr—I would add—interest in his hobbies/play, too.
I quite agree. Which is why I find it so interesting that so much of modern entertainment puts forward the notion that it’s a wife’s duty to make sure her husband knows she holds him in mild contempt.
Rather an elderly joke, at this point in time.
If the American family had stuck to those standards, our society would be in better shape. Guaranteed.
