Have someone ask her how she would spend a day, if money was no object and tell them to pay close attention to whether she sounds like she is interested in the things she mentions. If she says she'd like to soak in a hot tub and sleep in, find as many ways to fancy up that little request as possible, like serving her a late breakfast in bed, turn on some of her favorite relaxing music and put some of that relaxing potpouri fragrance stuff burning in little pots in the bathroom, as she soaks in a tub of bubbles.
Little extras that you'd be surprised would make her happy is YOU doing the dishes, laundry, cleaning out the shower/tub/toilet,, vaccuuming the floors, knocking down spider webs, etc... showing her you're not afraid to do the things she usually does for you. Be sure to hand her a calendar page and a camera to help her record the moment properly, though. :grin: :grin:
There's always the constant reminder thing. The night before that special day, post little love notes where she's sure to find them.... on the shower knob, on the milk carton, on the steering wheel, inside the microwave, on the light switch, on the window in front of the kitchen sink, dry erase marker notes on the bathroom mirror (it wipes right off). Tell her the things that make her special to you, or remind her of how you met, or just write I love you on each one.
I don't know very many women who don't appreciate a bouquet of flowers, but never let that be the only thing you do. Flowers are only a side treat, like dinner at a restaurant. They should never be the main event of a special day or night.
If she's a country girl, take her for a slow walk in her favorite park. If she's a city girl, take her to a busy place for a walk. Be careful of the mall. It causes the money to fall right out of your pockets!
And, the Honey-Do day is a great idea, too. Have her make a list of all the things that need doing and she thinks are of highest priority. Start at the top of her list and spend a day doing all the things that need doing. Don't forget the flowers and a special dinner afterward. If she doesn't get a little luxury out of the deal, you've sorta not achieved your goal.
Probably the best thing a woman could ever have is to have her man look deeply in her eyes in total admiration and curiosity for what makes her love him so much. She doesn't have to do it, you know!
