Little things count BIG. Offer your husband or wife little comforts, tokens of affection, extra help, or special attention. If your wife loves to have her back massaged, offer that to her–don't wait for her to ask.
Being a better husband for your wife starts with making an effort to understand her needs and desires. Communication is key, so take the time to listen to what she has to say and try to see things from her perspective. Show her that you care by being supportive, affectionate, and attentive to her needs.
Loyalty and trust are the base of any happy and successful marriage. So, always try to make your wife believe that you are loyal to her at any cost so that she can trust you the most. Make your wife believe that you are always available for her both physically and emotionally whenever she needs you.
Instead of listening to fix or focusing on making her happy, listen to understand. Let what she says impact you a little bit more, try and put yourself in her shoes and get a feel for what it is like to be her. Remind her that you are there for her, that you aren't going anywhere and that you enjoy her presence.
Sure there are obvious signs of affection like a hug or a kiss, but those are sometimes routine in nature. If your wife is head-over-heels in love with you, you'll notice subtler signs of affection. A sneak attack hug, a back rub, cuddling at night — these are all good signs, husbands!
We all give and receive love in 5 different ways: words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch. These are called 'love languages' - a concept created by Dr. Gary Chapman through his long-time work as a marriage counsellor.
Marriage has three blessings. The first is children, to be received and raised for God's service. The second is the loyal faithfulness by which each serves the other. The third is the sacrament of matrimony, which signifies the inseparable union of Christ with His Church.
Talking with your spouse is one of the best ways to keep your marriage healthy and successful. Be honest about what you're feeling, but be kind and respectful when you communicate. Part of good communication is being a good listener and taking the time to understand what it is your spouse wants and needs from you.
