What Should A Husband Do To Make His Wife Happy?

A look at what makes a good husband

A marriage is a commitment that is not really a chore, but a labor of love between two people that involves a little work and patience. Each party in a marriage eventually settles into their individual roles, with each role hopefully resulting in a shared joy for life that will last an eternity. The role a husband undertakes is specific to his individual relationship, in that no two women are the same, and what makes one woman happy will make another miserable. In general terms, making a wife happy is no magic trick - a husband knows his wife as well as anyone does. The base of marital bliss stems from a mutual respect for the other person's well-being and taking a dedicated position of always at least attempting to do the right thing as it applies to a particular union.

The things a husband should do to make his wife happy can range from the very small gestures of affection to the large expenditures of time, effort and money that result in a better life for a partner. There is no set or predetermined list of tasks a husband must complete to be considered a "good husband" in the eyes of his wife, each marriage is different and truly only a wife knows if her husband makes her happy consistently. However, there are general ways that a husband can express his love and affection for his wife that are nearly always certain to warm a womans heart. The most important of these gestures is to take daily stock of your wife's needs, and attempt to address them in a timely manner aimed at some level of showing appreciation for her as a friend and companion.

The basics of making a wife happy are really fairly simple and do not require that extreme an effort on the part of the husband. These can be referred to as the triple A's of marriage - attention, affection and assertion. Everyone needs a certain amount of attention to ensure that they feel needed and loved, and giving attention freely without coercing is showing your interest of your wife's concerns. The display of affection toward your wife can be as quick as a peck on the cheek or a stroke of her hair, but it will speak volumes of how a husband feels inside without saying a single word. Deferring to your wife's wishes when she has strong feeling and asserts her position does not make a man henpecked, and will let your wife know that you respect and admire her intellect and fortitude in matters of personal or moral importance.

Of course, if all else fails to make your wife happy there is one can't miss thing you need to do that will always make a woman happy - remember to put the toilet seat down every time you use the bathroom. It may not be a new Mercedes, but it will certainly be appreciated.
