Marriage can fail for many reasons, but by being a better husband, relationships can improve. Rekindle romance, spend more time together, communicate effectively, and remember why you fell in love.
Marriage is the joining of two people in a bond meant to last a lifetime. Unfortunately, as evidenced by rising divorce rates, this isn’t always the case. Marriages can fall apart for many reasons, and it’s usually the fault of both people involved. However, by striving to be a better husband, you can save a marriage that’s going down a rocky road or improve an already strong relationship.
The first way to be a better husband is to rekindle the romance. This isn’t as difficult as it might seem. Start small, especially if it’s been a while. Bring home some flowers and keep the doors open for your wife. Show her through the little things that you love and admire her. Hold hands again and cuddle him on the couch while watching a movie. If you can afford gifts to show your affection, that’s fine, but most women would rather their husbands spent more time than money on them.
Learning to spend more time together is important when trying to be a better husband. Make time for each other, at least a few hours a week. If you can carve out even half an hour of time a day, just for the two of you, that’s even better. Plan regular date nights, without the kids. Also, take an active interest in your wife’s hob. If she loves to cook, sign up for some cooking classes. Spending time together doing something she really enjoys can make your marriage stronger.
Take the time to talk things through, as communication is essential to a great marriage. To be a better husband, you have to be willing to listen. This is especially important when there is an argument. Learn to fight fair and listen to the concerns of others. If communication is difficult for you and your wife, consider marriage counseling, as a counselor can help both of you learn to relate to each other better. Non-judgmental listening and learning to formulate grievances lovingly can solve many of the problems most marriages face.
There are many ways to be a better husband. The best way is to remember why you fell in love in the first place. In the beginning of your relationship, you were each other’s best friends and respected each other’s feelings and opinions. As the marriage progresses, it’s easy to lose sight of it. As you strive to become a better husband, there’s a very good chance your wife will respond to your efforts and become a better wife.
