Marriage advice for men – it is well known that men and women think differently. So why in the world is marriage advice often given to both sexes equally? When we see things from each other’s point of view, only then do we see the real difference in the way men and women think.By learning a little bit about what goes on in your wife’s mind, you will be able to make a few simple changes to the way you do things that will really get her attention, and will show her that you do, indeed, love her, and that you want to save your marriage!Unfortunately, as boys, men were raised to not show their emotions. This includes showing love. For some reason, society itself tells men that this is a sign of weakness. It is NOT! Actually, it is a sign of strength and confidence.Simply telling your wife that you love her does mean something to her, but you have to show her. At one point in my own marriage, I kept hearing those words, but I didn’t feel that my husband loved me at all anymore. He said it, but after a while, those words became just that. Words. And he just couldn’t understand that, as a woman, I needed more than words. I needed to FEEL loved.Show your wife that you love her. Give her a kiss for no reason. Simple eye contact and a smile that says ‘I love you’ does a lot more than saying it.Show her that you are interested in what she does, what she likes, etc. Make an effort to get involved in something she likes to do. I’ll give you an example:If she likes to read, then by getting her a new book, or even something a simple as a bookmark, you are showing her that you do pay attention to what she is interested in. You are saying ‘even though you like to do this and I don’t, I support you’. This will go a LONG way in showing her that you love her.One of the biggest complaints I see with couples today is that promises aren’t kept. Many times a man will say to his wife ‘ok, I’ll do it’, but that’s the end of it. It never gets done. If you are guilty of this, as many of us are, then try your best to work on it. Every time you follow through with actually doing something you say you will do, it makes a HUGE difference in your marriage!Both of you should take time each day to spend quality time with each other. This doesn’t mean that you have to talk, you can simply watch tv, or anything that allows both of you to be together.If you really want to make her happy, help her do the household chores. many times men think it is the woman’s job to do everything. When you are married, it becomes BOTH of your jobs to take care of the household. By simply taking out the trash, or making dinner, you will tell your wife that you don’t take her for granted, and that you really do respect her and the work that she does.The more you do these little things, you will see your marriage improving. Your wife will be happier, because she realizes that you DO still love her, and you will be happier, because your marriage will become stronger.
