8. Listen

Listening is critical for effective communication, and perhaps more important than talking. So make a conscious effort not just to hear, but listen and understand when your husband is talking. Pay attention to him during a conversation. Put away your phone, turn off the TV or turn down the music that could be distracting you. Giving your husband your full attention when he is speaking shows how much you respect him.

Listening does not mean you have to agree with him. But even to disagree, you must listen to what he is saying.

Not everything that your husband likes could interest you. You don’t have to do things that he likes, but give your husband the space to pursue his interests and show some curiosity about what he’s doing.

If you know your husband and you know that he likes to experiment with new things you propose, don’t hesitate telling him about what you want to try; but you have to be careful if your husband is insecure. Being a good wife is not all about being a submissive or obedient wife that caters to every need of her husband (hello! This is not the ‘50s). It is about being the perfect partner who contributes equally to the relationship and complements the husband’s personality. Marriages are mutual, so if you want a good husband, you have to be willi...

1. Express your love

Image
Do you love your husband? Do you feel happy and safe when you are with him? If you have committed to spend a lifetime with a man through nuptials, you must love him. But loving is not enough. A relationship thrives on the expression of that love, among other emotions. So if you love your husband, show him how much he means to you. You don’t have to make elaborate expressions of love every day. It could just be little gestures such as a kiss or a peck on the cheek now and then, or making his favorite breakfast once in a while or picking a movie he likes to watch together. Telling that you love him is ok, but wait for the right moment to say it; say it only if it is true.
