Recipe for marital bliss
By Zaher Bitar Staff Reporter



To the wife: Don't be too demanding because your husband likes a contented woman. To the husband: Don't expect her to solve problems in a reasonable way because she is too passionate to solve them logically.

These are not bits from the best-seller Men are From Mars, Women are from Venus.

They are among 49 dos and don?ts authorities have listed to reverse the rising divorce rate in a country where nearly one in two marriages fails.

The six-page pamphlet, packed like a wedding invitation card, was jointly produced by the Dubai Police, General Administration for Social Services, Dubai e-Government, Rashid Centre for Special Needs and Ladies Charisma Centre.

The Department of Human Rights under the Dubai Police spearheaded the initiative by offering words of advice to help avert the dissolution of young families and raise awareness of the daily ingredients needed for marital bliss.

These recommendations were culled from discussions by the organising committee of the International Women?s Cultural Forum to be held here in March.

"We want to highlight the danger of divorce and its negative and destructive effects on the family and society," said Iman Ismail Abdullah, president of the International Women?s Cultural Forum.

"The family forms the foundation of any society. It generates leaders and productive citizens. Our religion teaches us that the family is where peace can be achieved.

"Since we live in a multi-national country, it would be a good opportunity to spread awareness and understanding among these many nationalities to avoid the dangerous phenomenon of divorce, which has become the scourge of society," she added.


Advice for the man

Dear husband,

Your woman is a different biological human being. In order to understand her personality and gain her faith, we recommend you do the following:

Don't expect her to behave the way you do. She is different from you.

Don't ignore her complaints. She expects emotional support at the very least.

A woman doesn't like a miser. So don't be stingy in offering gifts and invitations frequently.

A woman must be allowed to visit her parents. So don?t begrudge their visits to parents or you lose her love.

Don't forget to flirt with her and satisfy her desire in bed.

A woman doesn't like criticism. So don't engage in verbal assaults to show her weak points openly.

Don't expect her to solve problems in a reasonable way because she is too passionate to solve them logically.

Don't interfere in how she runs the house. Instead, give her the confidence and let her feel the queen of her nest.

Try to satisfy her femininity by praising her and admiring her clothes, make up, cooking and home design.

You should take into consideration a woman?s mood swings during childbirth, pregnancy and menstruation.

A woman is a social human being by nature and likes to gain a lot of friends, according to religious norms. So don't try to restrict her personal freedom in social relations.

Don't stay away from your wife because she likes to be heard or listened to.

A husband committing adultery is the harshest issue to a woman, so don't even think about doing it.

Your woman is sensitive by nature. She can't tolerate injuries so don't mock her or even hurt her feelings.

Don't forget whatever she asks for, otherwise she will feel unloved and that she means nothing to you.

A woman is always in need of a man to trust and rely on, to feel safe and secure - so don't disappoint her.

Don't neglect your duties and commitment in order to feel her love and care.

Don't despise her suggestions to solve problems the family may encounter because she will feel belittled.


Advice for the woman

Dear wife,

Pay attention to your husband?s nature and try to understand his personality in order to achieve a life full of happiness and satisfaction. Please consider the following recommendations:

Don't compare yourself to him. He is different.

Don't intrude into his solitude when he prefers to be alone to deal with problems he is trying to solve.

Don't provoke the cruel nature in your man. When he is nervous, he can lose his patience instantly.

Don't expect him to do what you like doing, for he does not think the same way you do.

Don't impose your thoughts on him, because he will get angry if he feels that you are dominating him.

A man doesn't like a talkative woman. Don?t nag because it will only confuse him.

Don't wait for him to say sorry because he doesn?t like to apologise. And in case he wants to express regret, he will do it indirectly.

Don't leave him feel unwanted in order not to lose his tender loving care.

Don't tell him something he doesn?t like because doing this would hurt his feelings and ruin his mood.

Don't worry about how much he does towards you and your children in order not to lose him.

Don't criticise him in front of his friends or family for he will feel that you are challenging his masculinity.

Don't nag him with questions all the time because he likes to be free as a bird.

Don't let him feel unwanted during love-making; otherwise he will seek pleasure from another partner.

Keep the secrets of your husband because he is secretive by nature.

Don't be a demanding wife because he likes a contented woman.

Don't tell him that you are better than him in order not to lose his love and respect.

Shower him with your love and care for him because this satisfies his desires.

A man's generosity lies in his reactions so don't wait for his initiative.

Don't give your children care and tenderness more than your husband. He should be the focus of your attention when he is home.

oh dear..

they forgot one thing in the 'for wives' section:

always make sure you are standing by the door when your husband comes home from a hard day of work and bring him his slippers, his pipe and his newspaper !
