10 Little Things That Make A Great Husband
So, make sure that you are her partner in parenting. Feed them. Bathe them. Discipline them. Love them. Give your wife a break. Let her go take a bath or get a massage.
#4 Help her keep track of plans
According to research, the most stressful thing for a woman is to be the only one who keeps track of plans for the family. She knows that Johnny has soccer practice at 4:00 on Tuesday, and Suzie has an appointment at the dentist Friday after school.
She also knows that you are getting together with the Johnsons next Saturday, and that you have to participate in a 5K run in May. This is exhausting to be the only one who keeps track of everything. So, in order to be the best husband, you have to be her partner.
#5 Pay attention to her needs
The world doesn’t revolve around you. While you rationally know that, a lot of men don’t get it. They are kind of selfish. Don’t be selfish. A marriage is about two people trying to meet each other’s needs, not the wife trying to please her husband 100% of the time.
Ask her what she needs. Does she like back rubs? To be alone for an hour with a glass of wine and a good book? Does she need you to hold her hand and cuddle with her on the couch? Ask her. She’ll tell you. Then do what she wants and needs.
#6 Don’t forget to be affectionate
I know that a lot of men aren’t highly affectionate outside the bedroom. But women are emotional creatures. We love touch. We love when you hold our hand or lay with us with your arms around us.
Yes, lots of men would rather just touch their wives in the bedroom. But here’s something you need to know. Touching your wife outside the bedroom gets them much more in the mood to be intimate with you inside of it. Touching is an extension of your love.
