subject: Marriage Help For Men By Totify.co.uk [print this page] All the necessary things are taken care of and you can relax with a beer and TV remote in your hand. Or, better yet, stop by the mens club (or local bar) and swap stories with the guys. No need to call the wife. Shes too busy to talk anyway while taking care of the kids and getting dinner ready. Everything is fine and as it should be.
If you are a husband and this sounds familiar, you might want to take stock of how your marriage is doing. How long have you been in this routine? Is this how it was from day one of your marriage or did you gradually slip into this scenario and it felt so good you did not want to change.
Yeah, the wife complained once in a while, but what wife did not? You may have been there physically for the little woman but emotionally you were somewhere else. A good marriage requires both partners to be there for each other physically and emotionally.
Maybe its time to reinvent your marriage and make it a union with shared happiness and responsibilities. Maybe its time to sit down with your wife and ask her if shes happy and if she would want you home more. Dont talk to your wife but talk with her. Communication is a two way conversation with each listening to the others points of view.
Commit to making yours a better marriage and it may be the best thing you have ever done. The guys dont even have to know but it may show in your new attitude about life and love. Its not a sissy thing to do. As a matter of fact, you may feel more macho than you have felt in a long time.
Start with remembering those special days. Keeping a list would be wise such as anniversaries and birthdays. Include smaller but sentimental times you have shared together that only the two of you would remember. Do something special on that day. At least send a card and a little original poetry would be nice. You might cook her a meal for a change or take her to dinner.
Toast your wife when you sit down to eat. No alcohol necessary. Its the thought that counts. Tell at least one thing you love about her. A toast does not have to be saved for special occasions either.
Make room for romance in your life with the love of your life. Break up your routine and be more spontaneous. Do something thoughtful for your wife everyday, or at least often.
Compliment her and do it sincerely. Take photos of your times together and surprise her with an album of memories later.
The secret to a happy marriage lies in learning to value your wifes needs and desires as much as you do your own. Shes the one you picked to share your life with. Its largely up to you to make it enjoyable and worthwhile.
