No. Outside...at a water ballon party... would be the correct venue.

I love that site! And most of those tips also work, and they invoke lots of reciprocating.

They really do. And reciprocation is very key, because if a man were to take all that as his due and not also have his own 'list' of ways to treasure his wife...then there would be a lot of resentment and struggle in that marriage.
My hubby and I have a joke that he 'treats me like a queen', to which I reply 'only because I treat you like a king...until it becomes necessary to kick you off your throne'.
When he stops appreciating all those little things and starts taking them for granted...it's time for a reality check.

It's true...and maybe alot of husbands don't think about how high appreciation rates on the romance scale.
A simple 'thank you' for preparing a meal goes a VERY long way in my book.

I spent 3 months trying to get to know her, then she told me she fell madly in love with a guy on myspace because he was the only one who paid any attention to her.
Meh, we were too different anyway, probably wouldn't have worked out well, but it did give me a interesting story to tell at parties, "Hey, why don't you try getting a girl?" "There a funny story about that actually..."
This probably also explains why no one invites me to parties...

If you don't mind an Anglican chiming in:
The incomparable Sunflower keeps me warm when it's cold, dry when it's wet and brave when it's frightening. She is one of a kind,

Zhilan spent three days of our precious summer vacation time nursing me back to health when I got an utterly crushing and debilitating stomach sickness. Diarrhea, vomiting until there's nothing left in the tummy then vomiting some more, the works. I think someone really cares for you when they're willing to sacrifice fun time to watch over you, especially since I was trying to manly urge her that I was okay and she should go out and enjoy herself. Nonetheless, she stayed by my bedside even though I wasn't very pleasant, both physically and in terms of my personality.
What really signaled to me that I was being well taken care of was the fact that we were in a region of the world known to the locals as East Turkestan, in a city of only 200,000 people called Kashgar situated at the western edge of the Taklamakan Desert (which means, forbodingly, "Once you go in, you won't come out"). Despite the dire context of the situation, she kept her cool and her medical knowledge handy, going out on expeditions only to buy me the fruits and liquids necessary for a speedy recovery. And recover I did. Unfortunately, right when I got my health back she promptly got sick, and since I'm a big wus and I don't know diddly about health care, we just bought plane tickets and jetted straight for the 1st class hospitals of Shanghai.
So yeah, sacrificing vacation, courage in a dim situation, and still putting up with me after I robbed her of her globetrotting time and rewarded her with the virus she was treating me for... I definitely get special treatment.
