I was going to just take my wife to dinner, but I didn't even get her a card. Now she's mad at me. How do I make it up to her?

Ouch! That hurts! But the real issue is not that you forgot to get her something, but you forgot to acknowledge what should be in her mind the most important day of your life. That day symbolizes how much you care for her and how grateful you are that you made the decision you made on that day.Not just ok get me something! I deserve it! It goes deeper than that. So right now, its not the time for a cheezy card or an ordinary dinner! (not that it has to be extravagant) but this the time you want to let her know how much you love and her that you care more for her than anything in the world. So skip the card. write her a note(sincerely) do something that means something to her, like tell her you would do it again or everyday over and over again because its the best choice you ever made! Whatever you do just let her know she matters!
Good Luck!

FIRST...NEVER EVER FORGET IT AGAIN! Women are very sensitive about this kind of thing. Always remember her birthday, anniversary, holidays, etc. Always plan ahead, even weeks or months. Make a list of her needs, wants, her dress size, her undergarment sizes, her ring size, her shoe size, etc. Keep this lil list in your wallet and look at it from time to time just to remind you of some of the things you can get her. As for making it up: 1) buy some candles 2) buy some red roses (or other flower that she loves) 3) come home earlier than her, set the candles all over the house (from the entrance to the living room to the dining room to the bedroom) 4) if you have kids, send them to a friend's for the night 5) put on soft music 6) make her dinner and dessert 7) tell her you love her then make mad-passionate love to her on the dining room table and elsewhere as well, all night long! Enjoy! And don't forget what I first wrote above!

Yipes. You really screwed up, but you already know that. Your wife is feeling unimportant and unloved--two things women HATE. In order to get her back on your side, you need to go over the top. Simply taking her to dinner or doing whatever it is that you were going to do isn't going to cut it. Pick a day-soon-and make it all about her. Romance her. Buy her a big obnoxious bouquet of flowers. Take her to dinner at a good restaurant. Stick tons of candles around the bed and make out with her. But more importantly, let her know that you know you screwed up, and that you're sorry, and that you now realize that gifts are important because they make people feel loved and important, just like she is.

First of all shame on you for forgetting the anniversary especially this day and age where there is plenty of ways you can remind yourself...like a reminder service or set a cell phone to alarm you.... do it now for next year so you wont be in the dog house again...
the best thing to do is...
buy her her favorite flowers and tell her how sorry you are and that it won't ever happen again and get her something really special that she's wanted for a while... treat her like a queen for a day and do whatever she asks and maybe she'll forgive you...

tell her you'll make it up to her, then go all out. make her whole day wonderful. Put a special note in her purse (where she'll find it) so she'll get it at work. then send her flowers to her job. then when she gets home give her a trail of rose petals from the door to the bedroom with a note that says get dressed or put an outfit on the bed with a gift. don't let her see you. then when she's done getting dressed be ready down stairs waiting for her. take her to dinner, then top it off with a gift or walk on the beach or at a park. tell her you're sorry.
shoot me and my boyfriend didn't remember our 4 year anniversary until a week later, we both forgot....lol

You need to surprise her. Get a hotel room...get a gift basket fill it with cheeses, wine, fruit and chocolates. Get flowers and put rose petals all over the bed and flowers all over the room. Also get some candles. If the hotel room has a spa or a masseuse on staff schedule her a manicure, pedicure and a massage.

Women shouldn't be so touchy about these things. My anniversary is on October 2, and neither me or my husband even thought about it until I received an email on the 3rd wishing us a belated happy anniversary! I was like, wow, our anniversary was yesterday and I sent my friend a thank you email for reminding me!! LOL!!!

Let her know you realize you weren't very compassionate, and sincerely apologize.
Ask her if there is something she'd like to do, or better yet, plan a weekend-getaway for just the two of you.
take care.
