Every marriage is different and so is every couple. But, there is one thing that is common in every marriage and that is love. If it wasn’t for love, then no relationship would have survived the test of time. Husband and wife are the two strong pillars of this institution called marriage. Both of you are responsible for each other’s well being. If your husband is trying his best to keep you happy, then it is your responsibility to appreciate him for that.
It is easy to complain, but very tough to accept the effort that is being put in by your significant other. Marriage is like a journey where you don’t know what to expect from the next turn. Sometimes, the journey is smooth and at times it is bumpy, but if you have your husband’s back, then there is no need to worry. If your husband is supporting you through thick and thin, then you should return the favor by making your husband feel happy.
# Make your husband enjoy things on his own
This is one golden rule that you should follow to keep your husband happy regardless of the length of your marriage. Plan a surprise trip for your husband with his close friends and see him grin from ear to ear. Everybody needs some space and some ‘me’ time where they can do whatever they feel like and whatever makes them happy. If you let your husband enjoy that time without making him feel guilty, then he will greatly appreciate it. This could be your way of letting your love know that you care for him and that you want to see him happy.
# Join him in his activities if he asks you
You know there are couples who have fallen for each other all over again by taking part in each other’s activities. If he loves paragliding and he wants you to join, then give in to his idea even if you are scared to death. You will see him taking care of you just like the way he did when you started dating each other. His touch and care are going to win you over. In case, you are petrified to jump off the cliff, then you can at least stand in there when he takes the plunge and support him. Motivate him and support him when he is trying out different venture. It is easy to complain, but hard to value what you have. So this time around, tread the hard path and ditch the easy one to make your husband happy.
# Make your foodie husband happy
If your husband is a big foodie, then why not try to make his favorite restaurant dishes at home? It will be the best surprise of his life. Prepare a complete meal, including starters and dessert. His eyes will be wide open when he sees the spread on the dining table. Don’t expect him to shower you with compliments right away. It would take some time to soak in the fact that you have put in so much effort to cook him all his favorite dishes. Believe me, even if he doesn’t say it in words, his expression will make you understand how touched he is by your gesture. His friends will be jealous that he has an amazing wife like you.
# PDA with your husband is allowed
Is there any rule that PDA is only for unmarried couples? Why can’t you indulge in some PDA with your husband? Though he would love it, he might not be the first one to initiate because he is scared of offending you. Just forget that you have been married to him for a decade. Imagine this is your first or second date and you are totally into him. Do whatever you feel like! At first, he might feel embarrassed, but slowly he will also start to give in.
# Appreciate your husband’s little efforts
Appreciate his efforts and acknowledge it by saying ‘Thank you’. You can either thank him in person or you can send a small note with a gift to his workplace in order to surprise him. Another way to thank him and letting him know how you feel is through text. Just pick up your cellphone and type in a heartfelt message and send it to him. You must be thinking that you are no teenager to do all these silly things. You are wrong my dear. No matter how old you grow, it is these kinds of small yet significant things that make a huge difference in life.
# Compliments make him happy
He must have heard thousands of compliments, but the one that you said will be the most special and cherished one for your husband. If he is good in bed, then appreciate him for that. It will give him a huge boost that he is able to satisfy you sexually. If you can blame him for something wrong, then why not compliment him for something he is good at? There should be a harmony between a complaint and an appreciation. It should go hand in hand to make your husband happy all the time. Make him feel the love that you have for him, both sexually and emotionally.
# Express your love for him
Love is the most beautiful emotion that one can have for the other. So, why not share it with that special person? Why should you hide it in your closet? Yes, it is an expensive gift that you can give to someone special only. Let your husband know how much you love him and care for him. Do you remember how you expressed your feelings for the first time? Recreate the same magic by baring your heart all over again.
# Don’t drag the conflict
If you are having a conflict, then it is not easy to understand your love’s point of view. In the heat of the moment don’t blurt out something wrong that you will regret later. If you witness that the conflict is getting murkier then step back and take some time to think before you speak again. At that point of time, you won’t be able to see the other side of the coin, but that doesn’t mean the other side doesn’t exist. Couples who have been able to control their emotions or hold back their anger are the ones enjoying a blissful marital life. You will have to train yourselves to do that to avoid getting into serious conflicts. Anger destroys everything because when you are angry you shut your brain and open your mouth. You don’t realize how venomous your words are until the damage has been done. So, the next time you see a conflict cropping up, try resolving it right away with communication and understanding.
