Japanese men need to learn to say 'You are beautiful' to women, particularly to their wives. The phrase is magical and can make both men and women happy.

Junichi Watanabe, 74, a best-selling author of novels featuring middle-aged romance. (Nikkei Weekly)

    All men do. A kind word to the significant other can have good consequences : )

    Just do what I did and get it printed on a t-shirt.

    How does it make the man happy? If the woman is happy she will be more willing to engage in marital sports and that will make the man happy. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this one out.

    Um...didn't Watanabe's "Shitsuraku-en" end with a double suicide?

    J-men need to learn more than that, at first maybe learn to be more well-mannered, learn that gropping women in trains is not right behavior and finally understand that a woman is not a thing. After that probably they could learn the meaning of "new" words like "love" and "beautyful". Of course, the lessons include some sensibilisation classes about their history, including the "Nanking Massacre" for example. The complete pack course includes a rubber doll to pratice the new words and attidudes.

    In most cases "You are beautiful to me" is more appropriate.

    How does it make men happy? You try living with an unhappy woman, it will make your life a living hell.

    If the woman is that bad, i think get rid of her; ie Find another woman. Or feed some bottled water.

    Japanese women are most beautiful creatures on the face of this planet. It should be a natural thing for every man to say such words to a woman every day. Just look deeply into her eyes and say it with honesty and passion, she will be more happy and with her happiness your happiness will automatically follow... you stupid moron...

    I'd file this one under "common sense", except that judging by the number of posters who don't get it I guess it's not all that common.
