How to Make Your Husband Happy

In a day and time when marriage roles are changing and the demands of work, home and outside obligations are constantly tugging at modern wives, it is hard to take the time to make sure one's husband is indeed happy. The beauty, as you will discover in these tips, is that it is not as hard as society would have you believe.

Instructions

1. Respect your husband and watch your marriage flourish. Men face many demands in today's world. Pressures at work to outperform his coworkers, accompanied with pressure to be a tender husband and nurturing dad, can leave him feeling like a failure. Show your respect for decisions and strides he makes at home and you will see new vigor in him.

2. Learn to speak his love language. In Dr. Gary Chapman's book, The Five Love Languages, the author hits on the importance of finding out what truly jazzes your spouse. Does your husband love cards and gifts? Then don't hesitate to sneak one into his briefcase or lunch box. Is it physical touch he craves? Take his hand, rub his shoulders or just rest in his arms. If you want to make your husband happy, find out what makes him tick and run with it.

3. Build your husband up by taking pride in your appearance. Everyone has heard the story of the woman who let herself go after marriage. Don't be that woman! If you want to make your husband happy, show him you still value him enough to impress him when he walks through the door. A home maker stated that her children were always puzzled as to why she waited until 3 PM to put on make-up and do her hair. She explained that as tired as she felt staying home to raise small children, she still wanted to show her husband he was every bit as worth the effort as when they were dating.

4. Don't forget to say, "I love you." The words "I love you" are a powerful statement that every husband likes to hear. Make sure you say it often and with emphasis.
