Do you sometimes get that awful feeling that you forgot something important? I usually do. I was never good at remembering dates of birthdays and other special occasions. I know there are other people out there who are just like me, but that does not make me feel better. Speaking of feeling awful, don’t you feel just as bad when another person gives your wife a gift that she likes better than your gifts? Don’t you start wishing you got her something else? I did.
Rule number one: make sure you are reminded of important dates and special occasions. If you never miss a single meeting at work, your girlfriend or wife will never understand why you keep forgetting your anniversary, her birthday and other special occasions. You will not forget if you check Facebook religiously, tell your secretary or simply add it to your phone calendar. There are a lot ways to remind you of important dates. Try to find one that works! Rule number two: timing is important. Gauge her mood and know what she would like to do. If she is starting to feel her life is too monotonous, plan an adventure. If you are planning to propose, it won’t be a bad idea to do so during special occasions like Valentine’s Day or her birthday. Rule number three: think out of the box! Gifts for her should be something she will remember for a long time. Plan an unforgettable date or party for her. Take her to the beach or another place that means something to both of you.
Stop getting your wife or girlfriend common gifts that her aunt would think of giving her. A gift from you should be unforgettable, enjoyable or even useful. Most women are hopeless romantics. This is true even for those who say they do not like presents like flowers and chocolates. The wooing process should never stop once the two of you are a couple. In fact, you should continue to woo her even after the two of you are married. It will keep the relationship strong, exciting and new. Most of the time, a marriage or relationship no longer works because two people who once admitted they love each other started getting bored of each other. All that cooking, cleaning and washing can take their toll on any relationship. Improve on that relationship by pampering her like a queen on her special day.
