10 ways to make your husband happy

Building a happy marriage requires dedication and a lot of effort from each party. I discovered 10 ways to make your husband happy from a man’s point of view.

I interviewed my husband about what makes him happy. As a woman, I know what makes me happy in marriage and most of my married friends have the same kind of list 🥰

Not only was I curious about how to make my husband happy from his point of view, but also what he wants in a wife who makes him happy.

I find it helpful to see what men want and need in their marriage as well.

Keep scrolling and see 10 ways to make your husband happy.

1. Submit to him alone

“Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord; For the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church, being himself the savior of the body. Therefore, as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives are in everything subject to their husbands.” Ephesians 5:22-24

My husband and I are Christians and we read the Bible often. We teach our children about God and how much He loves us.

In our marriage, my husband is the head of the family. I trust him to make the most important decisions in our home.

However, with any important decisions, I am part of them and they are discussed together because we work in partnership.

2. Love Him UNCONDITIONALLY

When my husband told me that unconditional love is important for a husband to be happy, my heart melted.

As a working mom who also does housework, I’m very busy with work and the girls, and my husband is also busy running his business.

It’s good to know that the unconditional love makes men as happy as we women.

There are many ways to show unconditional love to your husband in marriage.

You can start by praying for him, partnering with him in everything, and finding ways to be a better wife.

I know life is very hectic sometimes. Trust me, my schedule always seems to have a task that needs to be done.

Even though I feel busy, I still make a point of focusing on my husband and our marriage. This can greatly benefit your marriage and remind you why you got married.

My husband and I like to find a movie we BOTH want to watch some nights.

We relaxed, talked about our day and enjoyed dinner together.

Make it a habit to spend parts of the day together, daily. This will definitely bring them closer.

My husband likes that I’m there eating with him, even if I’m working or updating my schedule. He just enjoys my company.

Making time daily for your husband can remind him how much you love him. You’re giving him a break despite being busy, and it’s one of the best things you can do for each other.

3. Pay attention to your family as well as your marriage.

The effort in your family can be shown in many ways. Every family is different and I can only share my point of view because of my personal experience.

For my family, caring is about having a mom making home-cooked meals weekly, keeping the house tidy throughout the day, planning fun activities, and reading bedtime stories. My daughters love these bedtime stories.

It might be completely different for your family because we are all different. What is your family’s love language?

Make sure you know and be consistent. What helps me juggle everything is the planning system I use daily and keeps me motivated.

I think planning is the key to accomplishing all these tasks on a daily basis. Being organized can really help you achieve your goals and keep your family happy.

Being a great mom isn’t just about planning fun activities for your kids.

No, being a good mother is much more than that. This means that even when you are tired, you still strive to keep your family together and happy.

Taking your feelings into account and taking care of them on a daily basis is a big effort on your part. The same goes for making time for your wedding.

This means that even on those tiring days of working all day and also taking care of the house and the kids, you plan a date night with your husband.

4. Always be honest

Often in marriage, we tend to keep our feelings to ourselves. This is not good.

It’s important to be honest with your husband about how you feel about him. As a wife, I know some of us who should keep our feelings to ourselves and hide them from our husbands, especially when we are sad and upset.

This is not beneficial to our marriage and does not help to strengthen it.

I often get upset and keep it to myself, but somehow my husband knows me well enough to keep asking me what the problem is.

For sure, at some point or another, he’ll find out, because he’s very observant of how I feel. So make sure you’re honest in your marriage about how he’s feeling.

I know sometimes we want to mask our feelings to avoid hurting each other’s feelings, but being honest can help bring the two of you closer.

Would you like to know if your husband was unhappy with you and just didn’t want to hurt you so he avoided telling you?

If you practice being honest with him about how you feel about him, then he will always do the same to you.

And that way, you can focus on becoming a better wife and he can focus on becoming a better husband to meet your needs.

I always say that communication is the secret to a happy marriage because it’s the truth.

5. LOVE YOURSELF!

This is a point I can definitely speak to with authority, as I am a huge advocate of self-care and self-care. self love. When you love yourself, it reflects in everything you do.

What I really love about my husband is how he motivates me to be the best I can be at everything. I try my best to do the same for him.

If you’re not doing this for your husband, you’re really missing out on an opportunity to turn your marriage into something beautiful and truly unique.

When you are focusing on bringing out the best in each other, your marriage will only thrive and grow.

It is also important to me that my husband loves himself. Part of loving yourself includes taking good care of your physical and mental health and having confidence in yourself.

Not only that, but always looking for ways to improve yourself and your quality of life. Because? Because you love yourself so much that you want to take good care of yourself.

This brings me back to Christianity. God loves us so much that he wants us to take care of ourselves.

In my family, loving yourself is part of our lifestyle.

Loving yourself will not only make your husband happy, but your self-love will help you love your husband even more.

6. Be patient with him

Don’t we all want someone who will be patient with us, love us and understand us?

Spending quality time with your husband is important, but so is listening to him.

There are days when our mood is not at all good. Some days, I’m having a hard day dealing with children’s tantrums and trying to do all my work.

There are days when my husband has a bad day at work and feels frustrated. There are many reasons why we might have a bad day.

The secret is not to allow bad mood to settle in the marriage and this requires a certain patience.

I can easily choose to be impatient with my husband if I feel he’s not understanding me at the right time (which I have often done…I confess).

However, over time, I realized that having patience helped me a lot more than just dismissing the problem. When you stop and take a deep breath, you are really doing yourself a favor.

Giving your husband time and patience can only benefit you. Learn to be patient if you haven’t already.

It’s amazing to have patience throughout the wedding. I was never a patient person to begin with, but over time I have learned to become one.

7. Show your affection and love daily

Kindness is a beauty. I appreciate kindness and empathy in any situation.

Acts of kindness to your husband should be natural to you. If not, this can be a burden.

I’ll be honest, there’s a lot of pressure (according to social media and television) for a husband to always show these random acts of kindness to his wife. Mostly I see this during the holidays.

On Valentine’s Day, I rarely see commercials of women buying things for men. I only see the opposite.

The same goes for the Christmas season. As much as I believe that a wife should be pampered, I also believe that there should be acts of kindness towards her husband and not just at specific times.

Random acts of love make me feel happy and good about myself. For example, choosing a special gift for a loved one makes me happy.

When I put my essence into a gift, it makes it even more special to me. Random acts of love and affection will help your marriage to grow and flourish.

My husband loves little demonstrations of love, like a cup of coffee while he works on his project at home.

I know my husband appreciates it when I cook dinner for him when he’s tired from work. A little tea after dinner and a back rub before bed.

8. Look for happiness

We all know that people want to have one happy marriage. However, most couples know that having a happy marriage is not something that just happens overnight.

Marriage requires a lot of work and effort on both sides. Being happy with your husband can be easier said than done.

It all comes down to how you are doing as a wife and as a person, mentally and emotionally.

If you feel you love yourself, you’re happy with yourself and what you’re doing in your life, then honestly, it’s going to be easier for you to be happy with your husband.

When you’re happy with yourself and you love yourself, it’s easier for you to overflow that love to other people. We only give what we have.

Living off fights can drain and damage your marriage. It’s best to try to make your marriage work peacefully so that the two of you are happy and less stressed.

9. Have a common hobby

Recently, my husband opened a clothing store that really brought us together. We don’t think of it so much as work, but more as a hobby that we enjoy doing together.

What kind of hobbies do you and your husband share? We also enjoy long family walks and beach trips together.

Finding hobbies to share together is very important…
