How To Make Your Husband Happy

Curious about what will really make your groom a happy husband?

What do gay men who get married really want?

How do men want to feel loved and what can partners do to show their husbands they care? These intuitions might shocks you and your perceptions, but many times partners don’t pay attention to the emotional aspect of the man they love. Common stereotypes tell us, "We're almost expected not to have feelings. But times have changed and men don't need to escape from wild animals who are trying to eat them anymore. So underneath their roughness, all men want to feel loved and cared for — just as much as anyone does."

Men want to feel desired.

Men want a partner who is autonomous, who has their own desires, goals, wishes and plans how to achieve them. They like a partner who can achieve their goals on their own. They want a spouse who doesn't need them but that asks for them to be in their life because he wants him. They want to feel like a priority in their partner's world. They want to feel that their spouse is in harmony with them and their desires and not just the demands of life, family, work or their endless to-do list, gripes, recriminations. Men like to be romanced just as much as women do. They like to be taken out on dates or any kind of simple surprise that says, "I thought of you. This reminded me of you. I love you!

Men like to feel safe.

Indeed, "A happy husband likes to know that his spouse and partner won't take advantage of his failings and will keep his anxieties safe while he's working on them. And a man particularly wants to feel like his partner is helpful of him in his challenges and not using his challenges as reasons to walk away."

So husbands (and husbands-to-be), try to take into account the emotions of your man and they will be able to honor your love for them with trust, committment and true fidelity.
