A Spiritual Partner

Pray with me, be my spiritual partner and fulfill the spiritual void.
Build a relationship based on trust and honesty.
Plan life with me so that we may be successful in the life here after. I have much more in mind than just clothes, jewelry, car, house...
Let us try to be better than we are.
Let us be brave together and embark on a life-long journey towards eternal peace.
Respect the hair on my body as I respect yours.

If I make a suggestion out of love on something I would like you to improve on, don't take it as an attack, don't simply reply I'm doing the best I can, and don't say I'm nagging. This indicates denial that you are human and could improve in some areas. It also shuts out the woman in your life by creating a fear of ever expressing a need or concern.
I am just as receptive to any ideas you may have.
Resolve conflicts quickly. When conflicts last long, it just escalates the problem.

Tell me 'I love you' everyday.
I want to be your best friend and for you to be mine.
I want our marriage to be all that it can be, BUT not out of some misplaced idea that it is a chore or duty - it should be with Joy in your heart.
Take the time and effort to find out what the woman in your life likes and dislikes.
Make a simple phone call in the middle of the day. After all, I am understanding when you think about work at home, so why not show you think about me at work?
Be romantic, leave a love note or do something unexpected.
Be spontaneous.
Please don't show your amorousness in front of others.

We both live in the house, we both contribute to the mess, and we both work outside the home. So why is it considered solely my responsibility to clean it?
Treat my parents and family as you wish for me to treat yours. While you are planning retirement for your parents ...remember to include mine.
Cleaning the house and doing the dishes are just as much your responsibility as it is mine. Don't treat it like you're doing me a favor. Besides, if you can do Langar Sewa at the Gurudwara, surely the same principle applies to your own kitchen at home.
I too have a full time job, and when I come home, I too wish to relax and unwind. So it'll be nice if you could share the cooking and cleaning responsibility.
As a homemaker, my job is never over. I wish you would do your share around the house so we can have quality time to spend with each other.
Give our home life 100% like you do your job or your favorite hobby.
Pick up your shoes at home as you do at the Gurudwara.
Treat my job as if it were just as important as your job...especially if I'm a stay-at-home mom. It would cost a lot of money, to hire somebody to do what we do all day, 18-20 hours a day ...for free.
Please do not compare us with other females in your past/present, we're not them, we're unique unto ourselves, and we're not replacements for Mom, Ex, or Deceased.

Know that you are a major influence on your children. Your actions in your life are teaching the children. Yes, even the girls will take after you.
A husband is very attractive when he is tender, playful, and reads to his children. A father who is actively demonstrating his love for his children is very sexy to the mother who bore them.
The children need you just as much as they need me.
Nothing can beat a bedtime story that is read by Daddy!.
