Five Secrets Every Happy Wife’s Husband Knows

The old story goes something like this. The father says to his son on the morning of his wedding day, “Would you like to fully understand how a woman thinks and work?” “I’d love to know,” the son replied. To which the father said, “Yea, me too!”

Women are a mystery to men. But there are some things that happy wives frequently tell us makes them feel very loved. Husbands need to pay attention as doing these things consistently in the relationship will lead to a happy wife.

Husbands, you must love your wives so deeply, purely, and sacrificially that we can understand it only when we compare it to the love the Anointed One has for His bride, the church. We know He gave Himself up completely to make her His own, washing her clean of all her impurity with water and the powerful presence of His word. He has given Himself so that He can present the church as His radiant bride, unstained, unwrinkled, and unblemished—completely free from all impurity—holy and innocent before Him. So husbands should care for their wives as if their lives depended on it, the same way they care for their own bodies. As you love her, you ultimately are loving part of yourself (remember, you are one flesh). Eph 5:25-28 VOICE

We want to encourage you to do these even if you do not feel like your wife is doing their part in the relationship. It is a bit a of a chicken and egg issue. Which comes first? We believe if husbands take action in these areas without regard to how their wife initially reacts, what they desperately hope they will receive from their wife will begin to appear.   Go for it!

  • Honor her. Only speak positively about her to others. Introduce her to others with a compliment. Social media “likes” and “follows” reveal how much you love her.
  • Love her. Tell her you love her. Tell her what you love about her. Tell her face to face and eye to eye as well as in writing, song, etc.
  • Touch her. Hold hands in public. Rub her neck. Pat her on her back, or a little further down. Put your lips on her. Touch her throughout the day, in the vehicle, in the kitchen, on the couch, etc.
  • Cherish her. Put her above everyone everything else. Make time with her the highest of priorities. Change your schedule for things important to her. Plan, coordinate and execute a regular date night. Make her the sole object of your affection in every way.
  • Listen to her. Let her voice be loud in your decision making process. Pay attention to what she is saying, not only in her words, but in her body language and actions. Curiously inquire instead of assuming.

Try these consistently for the next 30 days and tell us how it works out for you. We want to know what works and what does not work. Write us and let us know.

Wives, if we left something off of the list, please let us know!
