Here's a hint: it's not the minute he walks in the door after a long day at work.

It's not the minute you walk in the door either. Which kind of stinks for me because I'm home by 1 p.m. most days and my husband works from home; I'm not sure I can wait seven whole hours to have a serious conversation, about anything, with him. It's in a woman's genetic make up to want to talk about any and everything the minute we get the opportunity.

According to the experts, we shouldn't do that. A new survey revealed the approximate time, like down to the minute, that you should consider telling your husband that you dinged the driver side door on the new car or that you lost your job. That time is - and set a reminder in your phone - 8:15 p.m; right before he's about to eat dinner. Men say they're most willing to listen and be engaged in the conversation over a good meal. Make a note, girl, you have the power and control just by giving a man food.

When you're not able to have a conversation over dinner, some other times that might work in your favor is when you're going for a long drive or when you're around your parents. Believe it or not, it's hard for your husband to tell you "no" or lie to you  in front of the in-laws.  Underhanded move, but it could work.

If there's a good time to have a serious talk, there has to be a bad time, right? Of course there is, unfortunately it's not an approximate time. It's basically all day. You know, the times when they're busy playing video games, watching sports or when Jeopardy's on. Oh wait, that's just at my house.

One more thing- if you are planning on having a serious conversation with your man, no matter what time it is, never start it by saying, "We need to talk"; 80% of men hate that phrase so much that they'll do anything to avoid whatever might happen next.
