How to Give Feminine Advice
Give forth advice as a "fountain" that bubbles over in a park. One can take as much or as little as he pleases, or may choose to stand back and admire the beauty of the fountain itself. Use the "take it or leave it" approach and let him drink as much or as little as he likes. Use the words "I feel", or "I believe," For they are indicative of of insight.
Make no effort to insist upon your point of view or to convince him, or explain why you feel as you do. And remember the following don'ts:
1) Don't appear to know more than he does...
2) Don't be motherly...
3) Don't talk man to man...
....In giving feminine advice remember: Make him feel superior in his role as leader.

Happy Birthday, Deb! And let that sound, sound advice stand you in good stead for many years to come. After all, remember who you are, you fascinating woman!
By the way, I found a link you might be interested in. It was a test to see you measure up to the ideal 1930's housewife. I must say that I was a superior wife...although not quite a VERY superior wife.
Let's see how you match up!
