Some Tips for the Men

Here is an entertaining (and possibly even pratical?) piece from today's Post advising men to treat their wives as clients and to approach their marriages as they would approach work.

My particular favorite is tip #5 regarding that lost art known as listening: "If it's important, seek clarification. If not, just let her talk." What woman doesn't smile at this reality? :)

His approach is a bit utilitarian, but there are some nuggets of truth here: "View marriage as your most important task, Haltzman urges men, and pursue success as you would anything else that matters. The assumption is it's a lot more pleasant, and the payoffs far greater, to live with a woman who is satisfied, secure and feeling loved compared to one who is none of the above."

Who can argue with that?
