Here are 30 Things You Can Do To Keep Your Husband Happy, I hope you find helpful things you can do… However, don’t forget you should always receive what you are giving.
Spending time with your husband IS EXTREMELY important, and doing things to keep your husband happy is also important, just the same as he does things to keep you happy. We shouldn’t have to change who we are as a person to be with someone, but we should have to go out of our way to be sure the person we are with is happy, because it’s what we do when we care about someone. That’s my opinion anyway. I used to have the attitude that I didn’t have to do anything like that, because if they cared about me it was for me, but I once I found someone I love, that loved me as much as I loved them, I wanted to be sure he was happy. I still want to be sure he is happy, and that means making them feel good, caring about things they care about, and sometimes doing things you don’t want to do. However, ladies and gentlemen keep in mind you should NOT be doing this alone. Your spouse or partner should be doing this for you as well. Being in a relationship should ever be just one of you doing for the other. Sure, there are times one of us is stronger, and we do a little more, but it should never be one of you giving to make the other happy.
Once you have a family spending time together is easy to put on the back-burner, and doing those sweet things you used to do for one another can disappear if you’re not careful. Before you know it looking for things to do with your spouse isn’t as easy as it used to be Could it be because you haven’t spent quality time together in, who knows how long? Spending time
Spending time together and going out of your way for one another is important to keep your relationship happy and healthy. My husband and I put a lot of focus on spending time together, and both go out of our way for one another because we like to see each other happy. Why is spending time with your spouse important? For me it’s because I care about him, and I want a to keep our marriage healthy. I also want my children to know what a healthy marriage looks like. I know I love my husband and he loves me, and I want my children to experience the same feeling when they are older. Keeping one another close, being affectionate, and making time for one another is important for us, but it’s also healthy for the kids to see, because they know mom and dad need alone time and we are happy together. If they see mom and dad just settling I worry they might thing that relationships work that way, which is not true.
I could go on and on about reasons spending time together is important, but the most important reasons that come to mind are:
- Keep your relationship healthy and alive.
- Talk, keep lines of communication, and friendship open.
- Make one another feel special, and important.
- How do you get things back if you’re already let them slip away?
Communication and forgiveness. It’s been my experience you have to talk, communication is key to a relationship, but it’s not all you need. Forgiveness is probably one of the hardest things to welcome into our relationship, but completely and really necessary. We all make mistakes, if you say you’re going to forgive and move on, then forgive, and move on. There’s no point in holding on to something you said you would forgive someone about, and if it you cannot forgive maybe you should check things, because it’s only going to make both of you unhappy. In my opinion a relationship is a 2 way street, you should both be willing to accept certain things about one another, forgive, communicate, be the stronger partner when the other is weak, and do things for one another. They do matter, are noticed, and do make a difference.
30 Things You Can Do To Help Keep Your Husband Happy
There are tons of things you can do to keep your husband happy. You know your husband, the things he enjoys, and what he would like more than anyone, but here are a few ideas of things you can do to keep your husband happy. They’re by no means a guide to be followed word for word, so take what you need, and make them work for you in your marriage.
- Pick up after yourself – He might not say anything, but more often than not he’s going to want someone who picks up after themselves.
- Understand – Be understanding to what he says or has going on in his life. If he has to work late, there shouldn’t be any reason to drill him, because you should trust him.
- TV – Yea, let him drive the TV now and then.
- Friends – Don’t forget to invite his friends to gatherings too.
- Family – Do your best to get along with his family, especially his mom.
- Back rub – If your husband complains about his back hurting or being sore offer him a nice back rub, and be open to letting it go other places (wink-wink).
- Looks – Take care of yourself, it will make you feel better, help your husband feel good because he will know you still want to look good for him.
- Love notes & suprises – Leave your husband a little love note, telling him how much you love him and how much he means to you. Maybe after the kids go to bed you could pull out a bottle of wine, and catch something on TV like Satifaction.
- Don’t take him for granted – Be sure and remember how much he matters to you, and everything he does. Just the same as he shouldn’t take you for granted, don’ take him for granted, it’s the fastest way to marriage issues. Don’t take him forgranted, but at the same time don’t allow him to take you for granted either, to have a healthy relationship you must be equals.
- Texts & calls – Call and text him during the day and tell him things he likes to hear. It’s called flirting and it shouldn’t stop because you’re married.
- Never stop saying I love you – Don’t get in the habit of hanging up the phone or leaving without saying I love you.
- Ask him – Ask him about his day, care and listen to what he has to say.
- Let him be right – It’s hard, I know, but let him be right sometimes. Admit it when he is right.
- Sorry & forgive – Don’t be scared to be the first one to apologize for something that happen. They key to any relationship is forgiveness, if you cannot forgive you’re wasting your time. Move on, if you say you forgive them, forgive them.
- Offer to help – When he’s outside working on the car or doing something around the house, offer to help. It’s also good to ask questions about what he is doing, and make him feel good about what he is doing.
- Communicate – Don’t be one of those girls with a secret language. Trust me, I’ve tried it and it doesn’t work. Communicate loud and clean, because guys don’t read between the lines. They want it out in the open, say it how it is girl.
- Notice him when he gets home – When your husband walks in the door from work do you walk over to him, tell him you’re glad he is home, ask about his day, or kiss him? Maybe you continue what you’re doing, and have him come over to you? If so, walk over to him, tell him you missed him, ask about his day, and make him feel like he matters and whether he is home or not maters. You would want the same, wouldn’t you? I know I would, and it feels good when my husband makes me feel missed, and as he is glad, I’m home. Make home a place where your husband knows he’s wanted, and missed when he isn’t there.
- Tell him – Tell him he’s the best dad, more than you could have ever asked for, and how lucky you are to have him.
- Say it – Tell your husband, he looks sexy, you like the way his butt looks in those pants. They want to feel desirable too.
- Touch – When he’s busy doing something rub his back, and tell him you love him.
- Let him see you – There’s those times when our guys are busy, and we get caught in the moment, looking at them thinking how lucky we are. Let him catch you staring at his booty, or something. We all like to feel sexy.
- Complaining – Don’t complain. I know it’s hard, but nobody wants to hear someone complain all the time. Surely if something is bothering you, it’s okay to talk about it, but don’t complain about your life all the time.
- Sex – It’s an important part of a relationship, will help to keep your marriage alive, don’t put him off.
- Romance – He doesn’t have to be the one to lead when it comes to being romantic. You can romance him too, even if it’s planning a romantic evening together after the kids are asleep. This is something you should do often. It will make him feel good, attractive, and let him know you find him desirable.
- Date night – set up a special evening, if you can’t get rid of the kids send to bed early, pull out some candles, and enjoy one another’s company. Sleepy? Try and ice cream coffee, 2 straws, talk, watch a movie, cuddle, or a little of it all. Spending time together and a nice date night is extremely important for your relationship together.
You might even consider a vacation with the girls. A recent survey by Wakefield Research and Dreams Resorts & Spas revealed that 67% of moms believe that traveling more often would make them happier than getting a promotion and 55% feel it makes them better at being a mom.
Overwhelmingly, those surveyed admitted that a vacation without kids allows them to reconnect with their younger selves and also revealed that:
- 50%+ would rather “get busy” over sleeping in
- 87% would like to do something crazy while on vacation (i.e. skinny dipping, cocktail with every meal etc.)
- A third surveyed did something on a trip they didn’t tell their family about
- 72% claimed traveling to a new destination tops their 2016 New Year’s resolution list
Now, it’s not a one way stree! I’m not saying that at all, but I am saying we should do things to make our husbands happy, just the same as they should do things to make us happy. Like watching movies!
So what do you think? What are ways you keep your husband happy and what things does he do to see you are happy too.
If you want to keep your marriage alive, it’s a 2-way street!
