I really love this post! I myself been married for 5 years. Despite of the fact that i knew my husband love me, i always wanted him to tell me how much he love me, how much he appreciate all im doing for him and thanking me for being a good mother and wife which he always do. I strongly recommend this article to be read by all husbands out there.

What a heartwarming blog especially when you hear a husband doing some effort in making the relationship work better. We usually hear wives doing this but it is truly very manly to see a husband make that move. I haven’t been married but I’ll do the same by the time I already have my own family. Anyways, a relationship should be give-and-take and not one-sided, right? Nice blog.

If you’re working harder than she is, I don’t see why you have to do more chores. Yeah you can do a few, but don’t feel guilty about her working the household. You are a terrific husband as is and should not feel pressured to do more than your job.

Something that I’ve learned as a wife that shows my caring to my husband and in turn motivates him to do the things that let me know he cares are small physical shows of affection. I brought two daughters into the relationship, and they didn’t see this between me and their father. My youngest (our son) doesn’t know any different. To the girls, there is the side benefit of showing them what a positive relationship looks like.

A kiss on the head, taking interest in something seemingly small, but important to him when he brings it up (I don’t have to participate, but listening does help a lot).

Sure, things are busy. Even when he was gone for three weeks (we live in Kansas, he was in Alaska for work on the north slope), we still found time in the evenings to talk and did little things while we were apart to show each other love once he returned home. I’m a hobby crafter, and I make useful items for him for work or just for here at home. He takes time to find items that he knows I’ll love to work with, and thinks of different projects we can work on together when he’s here.

Small things work. When I’m feeling rotten, he will take care of the kids and pets and coordinate cleanup, and make sure the house is quiet enough that I can rest. This is not asked of him – he just does it. Little things that need to be done – putting toothpaste back in the cabinet, wiping down the counters, running the vacuum over a small mess on the floor. Makes things easier for me, where I can manage larger tasks around the household, and not have to do a bunch of the small things that eat up a lot of time when they’re all combined. He also stops to hear me when I start talking. Tuning out can be a big issue with couples. (Of course, I am not a nagger about much, so that helps.)

If she likes flowers, you might arrange a day of relaxation just for her away from the house. Either work on a bed she might have wanted to work on, or create a small container garden that she can have inside, near a sunny window space. Making small sanctuary spaces helps a lot. Creation of something special and meaningful that she might not have time to do herself (or that she believes she doesn’t have time for) can do wonders for her stress quality.

Wow, I hope a lot of men have read this article. Even if they are not yet husbands to any woman, they certainly can pick more points in becoming better boyfriends initially... voip33s last blog post..VoIPYourLife

I’m a guy and I do all the household tasks, for the last 10 years now. I also drove the kids everywhere and I worked from home.

I still got divorced and love when women say that men don’t understand what women have to go through with running the house.
