Craig Boreth:
A lot of it goes back to that old Jerry Seinfeld line which is, "You know, looking at a woman is like looking at the sun." You've got to be satisfied by just a quick look, you can't stare.

Craig Boreth, author of the book, How To Iron Your Own Damn Shirt, The Perfect Husband Handbook…

One of the suggestions is something called the body scan which is if you see someone walking toward you, just sort of look down at the street in front of you, the sidewalk in front of you, and as she comes into view just raise your head up, it's innocent, you're just raising you head to make sure you don't bump into other people. But you get a full scan you get a good look.

How can we men do better at talking about our feelings?

Take a moment and walk yourself through a sort of a simple equation which is, you know, I'm feeling "x" because "y". And if you could just have that one little sentence and tell it to yourself it'll be much easier to tell it to your wife. And even if you could just do that in front of her she'll be more than happy.

And if you ever have to go grocery shopping alone, Craig says…

Make sure you keep your cell phone with you, and don't feel like an idiot calling her from the grocery store, I mean even if you do look like an idiot. Nonetheless it's better off to look like an idiot in the store than to look like an idiot at home. You know, it sounds bad but avoid the little old ladies, get in lines with other guys cause they're paying with cash or debit cards and they want to get out of there. And you can get yourself in and out, no problem, get everything done and not catch hell for it when you get home.
