Husband Tips
Don’t you wish marriage came with a manual? If only it did! What man would not love a husband guide with step by step plans to make his wife happy? All the husband tips you could ever need! Men and women are not wired the same (opposite really) which sometimes seems like a joke God is playing on us. (That alone is proof that God has a sense of humor!) However, you will be happy to know your wife does not expect you to be perfect. She does, on the other hand, expect you to put forth effort and do your best. Here are some pointers to help.
First we need to cover the basics:
1. Love her. 2. Show her that you love her. 3. Respect her in private and in public. 4. Make time for her. 5. Apologize when you are wrong. 6. Put her above everything except God. 7. Go to church with her. 8. Talk and listen to her. 9. Protect her. 10. Do little things for her.
Got that covered, now let’s talk about other things that you can do. I have been married for close to 14 years and have two adorable little boys, so I have some wisdom I can share with you guys. You are not lost, here is where you start…..
1. You Are Not Off Track As Much As You Probably Think.
Give yourself a pat on the back. You have made several good choices so far. First, you found the woman of your dreams, then you had the good sense to marry her. Second, you obviously made the decision to seek out information to improve your marriage. (There is always room to improve any marriage, no matter how good it is.) Now, all you need to do is make a few changes in the way you do things and you will see a significant change in your marriage.
2. Consider Telling Your Wife That You Are Making Some Changes.
Honesty is usually the best policy and in some instances it might be good be straight with your wife and tell her that want to improve your relationship. She might even help you out with some pointers to help you along the way. Every wife is different but she might be so impressed that she will give you some specific ideas to make her happier.
3. Start With Some Little Things.
Making changes can sometimes be difficult and even more difficult to maintain over time. That is why you shoud aim for no more than one change per week. If this seems daunting to you, then go for one change every two weeks instead. It is important for you to have a plan that you can stick to. A husband guide is only useful if you are able to follow it.
4. Set Aside At Least 20 Minutes Each Day To Give Her Your Complete Attention.
This may not seem like much, but it may be more than you are doing currently. Set aside a block of time just after you both arrive home each day or right before bedtime. It may be difficult to find this time at first, but the importance of this step cannot be emphasized enough.
5. Make a List of Things You Do That Bother Her.
Now, be honest. You know what drives her up the wall. Don’t close the kitchen cabinet doors? (Some of us girls are short, you know. Been bumped in the head more than once.) Leave the lid off the toothpaste? Forget your anniversary every year? Put your mother before your wife? Remember, you can’t fix things if you are not honest.
6. Take Charge – You Are the Boss of You!
Now attack that list of annoying things. It is important to jot this all down. Draw a line down the middle of a sheet of paper. Now list the behaviors on one side and the step you will take to fix the problem on the other side. Implement one thing every week. This step makes a big, big difference. It is alot like your own personalized husband guide. This is definitely NOT a difficult thing to do. You are the boss of you and you simply must decide that your relationship and her joy is worth the time and effort. You will be amazed at how much it pays off in the end, trust me.
7. Fix the Huge Things.
You might have a problem that takes more work to overcome. If there has been a huge issue in your marriage, then seek out help from a counselor if needed. Real men are never afraid to take charge and fix issues in their home and marriage. Many resources are out there to help you, especially in most big churches. Try a practical approach. If a certain counselor is not right for you and your wife, then search for another one. The important thing is not to give up.
8. Love Her – and Show It To Everyone.
Here’s how to make her truly happy. Don’t just tell her you love her, show her too. Do it in huge ways that shows everyone around you that you love her completely. You want to feel loved, respected, and cherished, right? So does your wife. Engulf her with love in so many ways that she is mesmerized. Think that will not make an impact on her?
How do you do that? Bring a picnic lunch to her work, complete with a little candle. Eat it at her desk if you have to. Or in her break room, doesn’t matter. Bring her a rose everyday for a week (or a month). Leave her notes everywhere. Send or drop off little gifts for her at work. Rent a billboard and say “happy anniversary” to her. Put an ad in the newspaper. Post wonderful things about her on your Facebook page. Show love and respect for her in front of her friends and yours. Extra hugs and kisses along with great compliments usually do the trick. Just let the world know how great she is.
Now, time to get to work. Little things make a big impact, so you will soon enjoy the benefits of your efforts. You will soon want to do more things for her because the changes will be amazing. Some people are only willing to put 50 percent of their effort into their marriages. If you choose not to keep score and put 100 percent into your marriage, you will probably find your wife putting in 100 percent too.
Hope this guide will help start a new phase in your marriage. May your home and marriage be happy and peaceful.
