Say "I understand, baby" and "Is there anything I can do for you, doll?" If hundreds of leading universities ever did such studies, they would show that a woman who feels respected and supported is far more likely to reenact the Jessica Lange—Jack Nicholson fandango from The Postman Always Rings Twice than is a woman who feels her man is an insensitive, self-absorbed jerk. Never argue about the validity of her feelings, even when they're totally bogus. Just acknowledge them.
Of course, you can disagree with her, but be careful that you either honor her feelings or, if that's impossible, do a damn good job of acting as though you do. Moreover, though to ears deafened by political correctness, words like baby and doll sound condescending and sexist, to most women in relationships, they sound like love.
Here's another great tip. Every two weeks or so, when you're watching television together, take her feet in your lap and go to work, massaging away the worries of the world. This is not foreplay; it's caretaking. If she feels cherished, she'll get bountiful with her body—maybe not tonight, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not even this weekend, but much more over the course of a life together than she would if her feet went forgotten.
