Want to Know How to Make Your Man Say Yes?
You’re reading this, so you’re interested! Indeed this is very interesting, especially for women.
According to Gabrielle Lichterman, founder of the Hormonology blog and coauthor of 28 Days, just like women, men also have “hormone days” – those unique days when we either bounce around with so much energy or feel and do exactly the opposite – do as little as possible. The key, according to her, is to know when the “right” time is, so as to take full advantage of it.
Now here are some of her tips:
Tip #1 If you want your man to help you move things, negotiate, or fix something, ask him for help between 9-12 a.m. Why is this the best time? Because it is during this time of the day when he is just bursting with testosterone and this surge in hormones actually makes him feel like Superman: ambitious, determined, and full of energy!
Tip #2 If you want him to say yes to your plans, talk to him between 3-4 p.m.
This is because during this time of the day, his testosterone levels is super low which makes him mellow, open, and willing to pretty much anything you throw on the table.
Tip #3 If you want to talk to him about sensitive matters, bring the topic up at around 8 to 10 pm. Why is this time ideal? It is because this time each evening, the hormone called oxytocin, also called “cuddle hormone,” is aplenty in his bloodstream. This hormone is known for its bond-inducing effects.
In a nutshell … know your man, and get what you want! Not bad at all!

To My Young Friends: How Will You Know If It Is Love You’re Feeling?
I always tell my students (I teach a course on Dating, Courtship, and Marriage in a local Institute of Religion) a simple fact on what happens when a person is totally engulfed in an emotion generally described as infatuation: more often than not, the reason for the attraction is difficult to describe. When infatuated, one finds it almost impossible to pinpoint to a single reason for the attraction.
Here’s a common scenario between two or more friends where one friend asks: what do you like in him/her? The response is almost always like this: “I’m not really sure. He/she just makes me happy, and I like being with him/her!” … or something like this: “I like his/her eyes. They sort of like ‘speak’!”.
To the one who gave the answer, it’s the truth; it’s his or her reality. Ironically, to the friends or the people around, they find the answer or reason given questionable, most especially if the person being described is, in the perception of the many, not as he/she was described. Then the famous adage: “if you can only borrow my eyes!”. So what then? Well, as most adults will say, infatuation is a fleeting feeling. It is fleeting (or does not stay long) simply because the reason for the attraction is very shallow.
Then the next question comes: how will one know if what he or she is feeling is true or real love? The answer is best described by David O. McKay when he said: ” My mother once said that if you meet a person in whose presence you feel a desire to achieve, who inspires you to do your best, and to make the most of yourself, such a person is worthy of your love and is awakening love in your heart”.
The Lord’s counsel is simple when it comes to dating, courtship, and in finding the best person for an eternal relationship: prepare well for the best person who will come into your life by becoming the best person yourself! As the counsel suggests: as important as finding the right person is being the right person. Indeed there is truth to the teaching that says “light attracts light”; “intelligence attracts intelligence” …
Lastly, always remember that all of us have a choice; and so when making a decision, most especially on the MOST important decision you will ever do in this life (finding your eternal companion), make sure that you make a conscious decision, made following the teachings of the gospel as taught be the Lord and His prophets.
