5 Ways to Show Your Spouse More Love and Enhance Your Marriage
Many people have good marriages, and the reason why they have good marriages is because they are constantly "tweaking" their marriages to improve them.
Whether you are just getting started, have noticed your marriage "slipping," or are just looking for some ways to tweak your already good marriage, here is some information that will be valuable for you to consider.
We are going to look at 5 ways to show your spouse more love and enhance your marriage.
1.
Husbands, validate your wives.
Your wife needs affection, but she also needs to feel validated from time to time.
She just needs to know that what she is doing is OK.
You might get used to what she is doing and start to take her for granted.
Then she may begin to wonder how good of a wife she is.
Men, not being quite as verbal as women, may neglect to affirm their wives.
When you find things that you really like, tell your wife about them.
2.
Wives, value your husbands.
This may seem quite a bit like the first tip, but it is slightly different.
One of your husband's greatest needs is likely for him to feel your admiration.
Be careful of what you say.
When you are grateful to your husband, let him know.
If there is something he does really well, tell him so.
Both husbands and wives need to feel valued by each other.
The wife takes the form of reassurance and validation.
The husband especially needs to feel admired.
3.
Surprise each other.
This can be one of the most fun things you can do to show love to your spouse.
Some of it may depend upon your budget, but even with a low budget, with a little imagination, you can find ways to surprise each other.
If your budget is a little higher, you may reserve a motel room, and whisk your mate away to a surprise evening.
4.
Give each other a day off.
Find a particular day when you do not have to work yourself, and just give your wife or you husband a "day off.
" You will carry the load that day for the cooking, etc.
and you will suggest that your spouse just do something special on his or her own.
5.
Frame your statements of needs in positive way.
For instance, don't just say, I need ___________.
Instead, say "If you would ____________________, I would be thrilled," or something like that.
Take your negative-sounding statement of need, and try to reframe it as a positive-sounding statement.
These are 5 ways to show your spouse more love and enhance your marriage.
That's a great start.
