Pastor tip of the day - never read minds. Everyone will want you to, but don't even try. If someone sounds like they're hinting that you should do something, explicitly ask, and put the responsibility for communicating back where it belongs.

Everyone does their own thing of course, but I feel like this is pretty OK spouse/SO advice as well. Or at least, has been for the last 20 or so years.

I've seen so many conflicts arise out of "They didn't read my mind" kinds of complaints, and, just...don't. It can be a cool/sexy surprise when someone anticipates your every desire, but it isn't anyone's *job* to do that.
