Respect him. Without fail this is the number one thing that men need and want from their girlfriends.
Remind him everyday as to why he’s with you. In other words, take time to make him feel special as if he’s the only one in your life. This is especially true if you have children.
Validate your husband on a daily basis. Whether he works outside of the house or is a stay-at-home Dad, your husband still needs to feel like a man. You know he is, make sure he knows it as well.
Appreciate all the things he does for you. It doesn’t matter whether those things are big or small, they are worth, at the least, a thank you.
Spice it up every once in a while. Tell him your fantasies, listen to his. Don’t be afraid to experiment.
Laugh. Laugh often, but with him, not at him. Tell him a joke that you think he might like or clip out comics from the newspaper and place them on the fridge.
Listen first, and then talk. Let him finish what he has to say before you interrupt. Ask questions if you’re not sure about what he said.
Be his biggest supporter! Men don’t like to admit it, but they need reassurances too. and by showing him that you support him and are there with him through day to day life will ensure that he doesn’t have a need that someone else will happily fill for him.
Don’t lose your own self respect. Stop blaming yourself and understand that some things are beyond your control.
