    Good post.I would like to make a list of all the tips by everyone .Very practical ones.

    I will try to make my list.
    1.He likes me time for sometime after work.
    2.Good food ,mostly Indian,chutneys .
    3.Nice clothes and Gadgets.
    4.Movies
    5.Travel
    6.He will be very glad if I don’t nag towards his sports time and time with his friends.
    7.He will be super happy if I don’t whine about his family though they had been very evil to us.Not badmouthing about them.
    8.I would appreciate his efforts for our kids and family which makes him happy.

    Nice thread, Rakhii. Been thinking about it for the past week. Many interesting responses. Some I was nodding a yes to. Some were true in the past... But if I have to really answer the question, "what makes him happy?", it will be -- "if I am happy, he is happy."

    Good food, me not nagging, he getting to watch TV... all are there, but the easiest way to make him happy, is if I am happy. Inside out.

    If I had to make a list of what I can do to make him happy, it is more a list of thing I should not do. : )

    - not get worked up when packing for a vacation
    - be calm when boarding a plane.
    - not tell him to slow down when driving
    - if we are negotiating terms/price with someone, I should not indicate to him that let's settle.
    - not tell him to return stuff in Costco that I bought but misplaced receipt. :lol:

    Thank you for the thread. Reading the posts and coming up with my response, I have yet again realized how fortunate I am. The man has some surprises coming his way this weekend. :cool:

    Nice thread Rakhi.

    DH would be very happy if I cook his favourite food especially the way his mom makes it..So take recipie from MIL and implement it .

    Call MIL everyday. ask her how she is doing and chat with her for few minutes.

    That’s a good thought Manisha ,probably some one can start a new post on that.

    Until Rakhi posted this ,I only had a vague idea about my husband what he likes and I should thank one and all here as it had worked very effectively and had brought great bonding quickly.
    It’s good to be clear what makes us happy and let them know indirectly at times .
