Let a Man Be a Man: 10 Things You Can Do By Yourself But Should Ask Your Man To Do

Let him be kind to you and you be kind to him.

My mother-in-law once said, “You should always be your kindest to your spouse.” This seems easy, but when you’re with your significant other all the time, the gloves can come off. Take care to consider his feelings and desires like you consider your own. And don’t always think he is up to something when he is being kind to you. Let him compliment you without you being so quick to negate or be suspicious of any compliment sent your way. Just be gracious and say thank you. Sure you don’t need a man’s approval of your outfit, looks, material possessions, career choices, personality, etc., but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t accept kindness and be kind in return. And if you’re feeling especially kind, let him “win” an argument. He is your “Mr. Right” after all…right?

What have you found that you can do for yourself but enjoy asking a man to do?
