The secrets to a long and happy marriage (for you blokes)

BRILLIANT !!! I should known my 7 year relationship was doomed from the start. She didn't like The Smiths or The Kinks. Looking back, it was doomed from the off..Got a lovely daughter out of it. Lola Morrisey Marr Davies Stretch. :-D
 
My Grandad sat me down after i had had a massive potentially relationship spoiling barnie. He was 86 bless him but it worked a treat. "At the moment lad, you are thinkin with yer underparts, At a certain age you stop thinkin with them and start thinking of them as equals and then it all becomes clear" I asked him at what age it happened for him, but he just looked at me with a tear in his eye and said...Sorry lad i was just thinkin of your gran in stocking and suzzies...what do you want to know again"
 
After 30 odd years of wedded bliss Im happy to pass on my wisdom and experience to younger viewers of Bluemoon.
So many marriages end in divorce these days, its time to give blokes some tips.
Women are different than men in a lot of ways, generally, whats important to a woman may not be important to you, so bear that in mind.

1) A happy wife is a happy life. This is 100% true, if your missus is happy she will make you happy 100%. If she is pissed off neither of you will be happy.
To make here happy every day I recommend the following tips.

2) Very important, tell here she is beautiful and that you LOVE here at least every 2 days (this is extremely important to women) you might think, well she knows I love her.....but believe me, they have to hear you SAY it, a lot !

3) Dont be stingy with money, there is nothing a woman hates more than a tightwad, be generous with your money (But dont be stupid with it).

4) When you go to view a house, tell her that you want her to be 100% happy in your new home so your prepared to go along with her choice (women are homemakers more than men and the actual house is more important to them)

5) always say nice things to her Mother, even if you cant stand her pretend that you think the world of her.

6) Never get involved in fights, women see this as men being immature, if someone is being twatty with you, be the big man and walk away.

7) Be romantic, take her out for the odd surprise meal, bring flowers home from work, or a small gift like earrings etc. Remember your wife will love the feeling that you are thinking about her when your not with her.

8) Dont take here for granted, thank her for washing the bedding or cooking or whatever job she does regularly, women dont like being taken for granted.

Bonus brownie points;
Sometimes after being at work or at the match, walk in and stare at here (especially if she's standing) after a minute ask her if she has lost weight as she seems slimmer. (this works a treat LOL) Obviously dont do this too often or she will see right through you.

Sounds like a right laugh.

Basically don’t be yourself and be some lapdog.

Not for me that.
 
Be yourself, let her be herself, and realize that sometimes her being herself means you have to bite your tongue (like she’s doing most of the time!) ;-)

32 yrs in July and my tongue hurts!
 
You need a woman who has her own interests. That way you’re not living in each other’s pockets pissing each other off.
 
44 years here.

The secret for me was

Giving up after 5 years

This.

45 years for me. Don't argue your going to give in the end.

Tell her you love her before leaving for work or anything else and before going to sleep. You never know it might be the last thing she remember you for.
