Groom your husband right: Wonder Woman - Who are you today?

Groom your husband right: Wonder Woman - Who are you today?

While your husband might mean the world to you, there are times when his embarrassing habits can turn you off. Here's what you can do to help - without rubbing him the wrong way! Check out these ideas.

If he is mispronouncing a particular word, just use the word somewhere later in the conversation, pronouncing it the correct way. After you have pronounced it correctly a number of times, he is likely to "absorb" the new-to-him version now…

Use subtle methods to groom your partner
If he is indulging in something "effeminate" such as combing his hair or applying lip balm in public, you can try saying something like, 'Hey, you know it's considered very bad manners to be combing one's hair in public - man or woman. The right place is in the washroom!' Keep your tone light and go on to the next thing - do not labour the point.

If he gets overtly drunk at parties, bring up the matter conversationally. Say that you've noticed that he tends to pick up fights when he drinks and give him instances to demonstrate your point.
