Man Advice #320

Man Advice on Valentine’s Day. Don’t you dare stop reading this until the end.

Every woman yearns to be fought for. She wants to be more than noticed – she wants to be wanted. She wants to be pursued.

Here’s just one way to pursue her:

Give her a pleasant surprise: be an artist of surprises.

Create a day long experience for her for Valentine’s Day full of surprises. Have her wake up to breakfast or a note on the mirror where she gets ready. Hide a bunch of hearts in her car’s visor so that when she opens it, she gets showered with a surprise. Just before lunch, call her and tell her to be ready at 7:00pm to go out. At lunch, have flowers delivered to her.

These are just a few ideas. Be creative…do something crazy that you would never normally do.

Then, top the whole day off with a hand written love letter. Here is an awesome website to help you with that (thanks Douglas.)

If you are a slacker and haven’t made dinner reservations yet, go to opentable right now and do it.

I don’t care if you have been married for 35 years and you are just so set in your ways that you are refusing and laughing as you read this. Your wife deserves to be treated like a princess. You are NOT a real man if you can’t treat her like a princess for at least this one day out of the year.

In Wild at Heart, John Eldredge says, “Most men want the maiden without any sort of cost to themselves. They want all the joys of the beauty without any of the woes of the battle.”

Will you fight for her?

I Don’t Do This…

picture-1…but, today I am. I never review music on this blog for many reasons, but today I bought an EP that EVERYONE needs to get before Valentine’s Day. Husbands, jump over to iTunes and purchase Dave Barnes new EP, “You, the Night, and Candlelight.”

It’s only $3.99 which gives you plenty of scrilla left over to buy some candles, some good takeout, and some bubble bath for February 14th.

Disclaimer: This post is ONLY for you married folk out there…if I see any of you men who are not married picking up all three items at the store I’ll smack ya. If you are dating, you’d better only be getting the candles and food.

Cupid Sucks

For me, the bottom line on Feb. 14th is this:  I LOVE MY WIFE.  But, I want to SHOWER Amber with affection every day of the year; not just on Valentine’s Day.  Sorry Cupid, you suck.  I won’t even see my sweetie today because I showed my love to her by flying her back home to Lubbock and giving her a day at her old beauty shop for Valentine’s Day.

I was going to post more thoughts about Valentine’s Day today, like everyone. But then I read Perry’s post.  And it’s just TOO STINKING GOOD…there’s no point in me posting when he NAILED it!

So go, check it out now!
