Let him always know that he comes first before anything and everybody.
Tell him every day 'I love you' (I know some people feel you don't need to ever say those three little words to let each other know that they love each other, but we do.)
Never let yourself go. If you do, you may not feel it is important after many years of marriage or partnership, but you should realise, men look first with their eyes and then their trouser fronts, it doesn't matter what age, there is always someone out there ready and willing to be the woman you used to be - before you stopped bothering.
Being a good cook is not important in a good relationship. Either one should be able to cook a nice meal but it is more important that what is on the plate is enjoyed by both of you, whether it is a lovely home-made meal, beans on toast or a take-away. As long as you are happy in each other's company, whatever food you eat will always taste nice.
Always be ready to say sorry, even if you damn well know you are right.
Always let him think he is the one who made the decision to do exactly as you planned.
Try your best to make sure you hit the bathroom first so you can have your quick shower, put your make-up on and fluff up your hair. By the time he then comes out of the bathroom, you are dressed and ready with his cup of tea.
That's it really. I do have my own requirements of course where he is concerned, but that is a different thread.
