Saed News: Men don't always express the expectations they have from their wives, but that doesn't mean they don't keep these desires and requests in their hearts. In this article, we aim to share these requests with you.
There is no doubt that sexual relations are extremely important for men. Most of the time, men themselves confirm that sexual relations are at the top of their list of things they want from marriage. However, these same men also have other emotional needs. Men don't always express the expectations they have from their wives, but that doesn't mean they don't keep these desires and requests in their hearts.
For example, some men feel responsible for financially supporting their wives but don't express it, even if their wives earn more and don't need it. The thoughts and feelings that lie within a man can affect the relationship, so understanding the inner world of a man will open a window to opportunities and understandings for you.
Show affection
Even though sexual relations are very important for most men, affection is also really important to them. This affection could be holding his hand in public, leaving a romantic message, or giving him a shoulder massage after a long day at work. In any case, showing that you care for him with love and affection will soften your husband's heart.
Try different ways to express your love and affection. It doesn't have to be complicated; simply telling him how much you love him, encouraging and supporting him when he feels discouraged, giving him a surprising kiss, and having a friendly chat are very simple ways that have great impacts.
Believe in his abilities
Men generally feel it is very important to support and provide for those they love. Let your husband know that you believe in his abilities and skills, and that you know he supports you. Your praise and encouragement as his wife means a lot to him. The most important thing you can do is to behave in a way that makes him feel like "a man," not a "boy." For example, next time you go to a restaurant, let him choose the meal. Small gestures like this strengthen the trust between you and give him a sense of responsibility in the relationship.
Understand him
Your man needs to know that you understand him. Men are often more logical and like to solve problems. This trait is valuable, and it helps create balance between him and you, as you, being a woman, are often more emotional. One way both of you can show you understand each other is by setting aside a few minutes each day to talk. For example, you could have a 20-minute daily exercise where you ask each other positive questions, such as what you like about each other.
Admire and appreciate him
Most men like to be patted on the back and hear "Well done!" One way to fulfill this request is by regularly praising your husband. However, be careful not to do this too much, so it doesn't become meaningless. Throughout the week, wisely and selectively find moments to praise him. For example, let him know you appreciate his hard work, thank him for supporting the family, tell him how good he looks in his new t-shirt, and kiss him while admitting how handsome he is as a man.
Accept him as he is
We all like to be accepted as we are by those around us, without trying to change us. A woman who tries to change her husband will hurt and anger him. If your concern and efforts to change him are about his health and safety, that's understandable, but you cannot change his personality traits. You can show your husband how much you accept him by the following ways: see his flaws but still love him, learn to accept yourself first so you can accept your husband as he is.
Don’t talk too much all the time
If your husband is tired, his mind is preoccupied with work, or he just doesn’t feel like talking, don’t force him to listen to your words. Sometimes, women talk a lot, but they need to assess the situation and, if it's not appropriate, postpone the conversation for another time. If you're frustrated with your coworkers, you can talk to a friend or a family member instead of your husband, or you can write everything down to calm yourself.
Certainly, communication is one of the most important and valuable aspects of a relationship, but only when both of you truly want it and are ready for it. So first, check if your man is ready to listen to your complaints.
Respect him
A romantic and intimate life together is impossible without respect. One of the best ways a woman can show her husband that she loves him is by listening to him during conversations, not interrupting him. You can show respect in the following ways:
Don’t give negative opinions about his thoughts and beliefs.
Be considerate about his plans.
Don’t turn away when you disagree with him.
Overall, be positive, grateful, and aware of his needs and wants.
Give him space
Who doesn’t enjoy some time alone to recharge? We all need times when we can be by ourselves and gain energy to connect with others. When your husband comes home from work, let him be by himself for a while without any talking.
Or on his days off, don’t fill all his time with your plans and give him the opportunity to relax and focus on his hobbies. If you really want to spend the day with him, make sure to consult him beforehand, and if he’s not interested, reschedule.
Trust him
Trust is essential for success in a marriage. Spouses with mutual trust can build a healthy relationship, communicate effectively, and learn how to argue fairly. Building trust takes time, and over the years, you will learn how to stay true to your promises, be yourself, and express love and affection toward each other.
If there’s something about your husband that makes you doubt and it’s hard to trust him, seek advice from a counselor and avoid taking wrong steps like spying or cheating.
Be empathetic and supportive
Your husband is not just your partner; he is also your friend. To remain friends even after many years of marriage, you need to find ways to spend quality time together and create new experiences. Being best friends means knowing when to talk, when to complain, not ignoring each other, sacrificing for each other, and making each other feel good.
Learn to use kind words for each other, show appreciation, and sometimes, instead of focusing on your own interests, be generous and engage in your husband's favorite activities.
