How To Make Your Marriage Stronger

There’s a lot of good and bad advice about keeping a man happy in a relationship.

The main thing is to respect your man and treat him the way you would want him to treat you.

Contrary to anything you might have heard, men need more than a healthy love life to keep them happy.

So, if you are looking for a long-term bliss, then read these 6 great ways to keep making your man happy at all times:

1. Thou shall not nag

Our first tip on how to make your man happy is – do not nag him. Men let nagging go in one ear and out the other, but they do take notice of it. If you want to drive your man out of your life, then nagging is a guaranteed way to make him unhappy. If you want him to listen, explain your concerns logically and hopefully, he will happily try and comply.

2. Listen to him when he needs your help

Men don’t open up easily, so when he does, this tells you that he needs your advice or assistance, it must be important. Be there for him when he needs to talk about something. If it wasn’t important, he wouldn’t be asking for your advice.

3. Fight fair

You know that you have secret weapons that you can use in a fight, but that doesn’t mean that you should. Be fair when you fight and don’t stoop too low to haul insults at him. They will hurt a man more than you realize and it’s unfair because men aren’t very good at fighting in that way.

4. Take care of your appearance

It’s shallow, it shouldn’t matter and he should love your personality but the reality is that making an effort to look nice for him will keep him happy. You don’t have to look like a steaming tempest every day of the week, but letting things go completely will make him think you no longer care.

5. Show your appreciation Another way on how to make your man happy is to show him that you appreciate the things he does. Don’t let him think that you take him for granted. Men thrive on pats on the back which means he will value your appreciation and thanks to anyone else. When your man has said or done something that impresses you, tell him! Don’t just assume he knows. Tell him he looks good in a suit, that the project he is working on impresses you or that he does an amazing work in the bedroom! A genuine compliment from you and he’ll be walking on cloud nine!

6. Give him some space

Let him be a man, he needs it to be happy. He will want to go out with friends sometimes and do manly things. Give him the space to do so or he will feel trapped and unhappy. Men need to assert their masculinity sometimes, just as much as you need to do girly things. You should also give him the chance to voice any issues he may be having. Really, try to listen to what he has to say and don’t dismiss his concerns. Your man will be much happier in the relationship if he feels like you value his feelings and opinions.
