Husbands: 60 EASY Ways To Make Your Wife Smile Today!

Men, do you know how to make your wife smile? Really…how many of these things do you do on a daily basis? Less than 10? Lucky for you, I’ve prepared a take-home assignment so you can pass the Chivalry refresher course! Why? Because women are really really simple and easy to please (wink wink.) Oh, who are we kidding? Some of us are complicated, moody, and downright unpredictable at times. And that’s completely okay! But there are still simple things you can do to make your wife smile, even if you can’t totally figure her out. Some of these have extra credit points, so over-achievers get ready!!

60 easy ways to make your wife smile…please try this at home:
