Dear EQ Coach:
I don’t know what to get my wife for Christmas. I love her, but I hate to shop. I want to ask my secretary to pick something out for her. Do you think this is wise? I have plenty of money, no time, and I hate to shop.

Dear Ready to Detonate Relationship in Delaware:
You have plenty of money, no time, and a death wish. No secretary, no friend, nobody can choose a gift for your girlfriend that won’t reek of “didn’t care.” Have you forgotten for a moment that women are intuitive? She will know.
Do it yourself. Call a coach for some ideas. Order it online to be gift-wrapped and delivered. Send your secretary out to pick it u or use a courier service. But never let someone else choose that special gift. She will know.
Signed: The EQ Coach
P.S. Yes, she WILL know.
Still not convinced?
Dear EQ Coach:
I’m appalled. My husband just gave me my Christmas gift early. We’ve been married 3 years. It was an expensive Lladro. Of a horse. I don’t like horses. I’ve never ridden a horse. I’ve never talked about one. I don’t have any horse thing in my house. I think they smell and are dangerous and my hobby is needlepoint. Furthermore, I don’t ^collect^.
On the other hand, his secretary owns and breeds horses. She has horse statues all over her desk.
