Lately, I’ve noticed a great deal of anguish among women regarding the inability to find their «other half.»

So, I have a question for those of you who are married: how often do you praise your husbands?

This isn't my first marriage; I’ve been with various women over the years, but they all had one thing in common: they viewed any work a man did—any task he performed—as nothing more than a duty. Yet, just try leaving the dinner table without saying «thank you,» and you’d be met with immediate indignation.

Personally—and this goes for many men in my social circle as well—we are «men with golden hands»; we can fix or build practically anything. But nowadays, we often don't even want to anymore, because our efforts have been completely devalued.

We don't need any extraordinary attention—just a sincere «thank you.» (Or even an insincere one, for that matter!) But is it really so difficult to simply open your mouth and offer a word of praise to your man?

My current wife has several single or divorced friends. Whenever I help them out, words of gratitude flow in abundance—and it feels wonderful. They constantly tell my wife how lucky she is to have me.

And this seems to be the case throughout my entire social circle.

To our wonderful women: for the most part, you *are* happy! If your man drives a nail into the wall at home, thank him for it—praise him! Do that, and he’ll happily drive nails into the *entire wall* for you.
