1. ‘That's definitely your colour!' Her neon pink talons will hurt you less.
2. ‘It's my turn'. Say that every time a chore rears its head and the principle of reciprocal kindness will kick in.
3. ‘Take your time, honey'. On those endless shopping sprees. Niceness keeps the bills low.
4. ‘I'll watch whatever you are watching'. Desperate Housewives might just be given the miss occasionally.
5. ‘Have you lost weight?' This one is guaranteed to do the trick, every time.
6. ‘That was funny.' For those girly jokes you don't really understand but will earn you emotional rewards.
7. ‘How do I look?' Ask her opinion on your attire and notice how it makes her feel so special - every time.
8. 'That tastes just like how my mom used to make it.' Ensure mom's not around when you say it.
9. ‘You are my butterfly.' Pay unusual compliments. It earns you more mileage than comparing her to a rose or a peach.
10. ‘With you, I am always in a happy place.' Keep telling her, and yourself, this while she insists she wants the bedroom painted a bright pink.
