On introspection, we may find that men who made these rules might have been too inhibited to stand up and say what they felt in their hearts. The next time you feel hesitant about behaving as your heart desires, bear in mind that you can afford to let go of your self-imposed image of a macho man. Remember, it's the little things that really are big things.

It's an image that society has cultivated over centuries and a majority of men have fallen into the slot and conformed. Big boys don't cry. But men are capable of being sensitive and responsive both about situations as well as in relationships.

Initially it may be a little difficult to be demonstrative. But take heart, a small effort and a dash of spontaneity can make your relationships a lot warmer and more cheerful. Here are a few tips to help you bring out the tenderness and warmth hidden beneath that gruff exterior.

• Let the other person know they're appreciated. The courtship should not end with the honeymoon, but last your whole marriage.
• Do little things for each other every day out of love, not duty.
• Don't ever expect your wife to wear a halo or wings. Don't look for perfection in each other.
• Establish a relationship in which independence is equal, dependence is mutual and obligation is reciprocal.
• Remember to say "I Love You" at least once a day, and, while you're at it, remember you're never too old to hold hands.
• Have a mutual sense of values and common objectives. Never take each other for granted.
• Stand together to face the world but give each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.
• Cultivate flexibility, understanding, but most of all, a sense of humour.
• And last but not the least, learn how to forgive and forget.
