Michael Lee asked:


You have the ring in one hand and you’re down on bended knee. But do you know what to say when you propose marriage? “Will you marry me” just seems so abrupt.

Everyone has their own way of proposing marriage. Unfortunately, a lot of people seem to think that you only have to pop the question. But if you really want to make the moment count, you have to know what to say when you propose marriage.

1) Who is she to you?

One of the things to say when you propose marriage is what that person means to you. She’s not just your girlfriend. You’ll have to tell her the qualities that endeared her to you. What does she bring to your life?

2) Who are you when you’re with her?

What kind of person have you become since you two got together? Every woman wants to know that she has had some influence in her man’s life. Just make sure to enumerate only the positive influences.

3) What’s in store for the future?

One of the important things to say when you propose marriage is your plan for the future. You don’t have to give her all the details, but it would be wonderful if you can say something about it.

While not absolutely necessary in a proposal, it does give the girl the impression that you’ve thought long and hard about this plan.

4) What do you promise her?

Don’t just recite the wedding vows. You have to promise from the heart. Do you promise to let her have monopoly of the remote control except during basketball season? You can be as funny as you want to make the whole situation lighter.

5) Tell her you love her and will love her more everyday.

But most importantly, you have to promise her that you will love her forever. It’s what marriage is all about. You know there’ll be tough times but together, you’ll make it through.

It’s important to know what to say when you propose marriage. You don’t need to have a script in hand, but it would be better if you tried to organize your thoughts before acting upon your feelings.

Duncan Kelly asked:


We all know that there are certain things you should never say to your wife, but what about the things that you should be saying to your wife? It’s easy to say the wrong thing, but with a bit of thought, we can say the right thing and reap the rewards thereof.

So here are 10 things you can say to your wife that will get your share price up!

1. I love you. (OK, if you don’t, then remember that love is not a feeling, but a decision. Make the decision and say the words! After all, you made the decision when you got married.)

2. “Yes my love, I’ll fix it right now.” This will really get her excited!

3. Choose a bodily feature that you have always liked, and compliment her on it. For example, “Your eyes are really beautiful.” Look for some new things you can compliment her on too.

4. When she does something right, like make a Nice supper, tell her “This is really, really good! You’re a star!”

5. When you find her talking to a younger woman that you don’t know, ask her “Were you in school with that lady? Not? Oh, you looked about the same age..”

6. When she’s got a nice perfume on, tell her “You smell like heaven!”

7. Tell her “You are my best friend.”

8. Tell her firmly “I’m going to do the dishes for you; no arguments.”

9. Surprise her with “I’m taking you out for coffee and muffins.”

10. “I’m going to clean my garage out today.” (It may take a week or three, but the mere mention of this task will get you into the pound seats with your wife.)

Apparently, according to wives, when the husband works in the garage and fixes up the house, this is extremely pleasing to the female species, and causes them to nurture amorous feelings towards their spouses. In other words guys, it gives your wife the hots for you.

A happy wife is a creative wife, a good cook, and a good friend. It is really worth our while to make our wives happy. It takes quite a bit of hard work, and generosity, and humility. But it pays off.

Hopefully these 10 tips will help. Remember to keep them honest and genuine. Wives sometimes know us better than we know ourselves, so don’t try and bluff your way into her heart! Lying to your wife is a little more dangerous than drinking nitric acid and smoking a stick of dynamite at a gas station.

Just the mere fact that you’ve read this far indicates that you have a desire to say good things to your wife. Good for you! May your marriage be fun!
