Ask outright for assistance or leave bigger hints when you need assistance if you are afraid to ask your spouse for assistance.

Women, this tip is for you. Guys cannot read your mind. There is nothing wrong with asking for assistance; in fact, your guy will be glad to help if you just give him some direction. So ask your guy, "Would you take out the garbage for me, please?" Guys focus on one task and they literally do not see that the garbage needs to be taken out. All you have to do is ask and you will be surprised how much your guy is willing to do for you. And don't forget to say please. Guys, it would help if you show more sensitivity to your wife and anticipate her needs.
