How Can I Make My Husband Care for Me? Ways to Improve Your Marriage Now!
Article by Gillian Reynolds
“How can I make my husband care for me?” So many married women will confess to wondering this very thing at some point during their relationship. It’s hard not to feel neglected when your husband’s attention is divided by so many things, yet you’re not one of them. With the pressures of maintaining a career, paying bills, tending to household repairs and being a dad, he can start to overlook your need and desire to have attention too. You can change the dynamic of your relationship with your spouse so it’s more balanced and you feel the love and adoration you want.
Before you do anything you need to examine your own behavior in the marriage if you want your husband to care for you more. Think honestly about how you’ve been treating your husband. Just as he may be neglecting you, perhaps you are doing the same to him. If a husband feels that his wife is preoccupied with everything but their marriage, he’ll start to emotionally detach from the situation. Once this happens, you’ll notice that he’s less attentive and loving.
If you feel that is indeed the case, you need to make the first move towards repairing the lost connection. Start treating your man exactly the same way you did when you two first married. If you made a point of cooking his favorite dinner once a week, get back into that habit. Plan a romantic evening out for the two of you or buy tickets to his favorite team and go with him to the game. Often, if a woman makes the first step, her husband will quickly follow and will start treating her the way he once did again.
Your husband may very well be taking you for granted just because he’s so comfortable within the relationship. You can typically tell when this starts to happen because he’ll stop listening to you, he won’t tend to his chores around the house and he’ll forget things like your birthday or wedding anniversary. In this case, your approach needs to be a bit different.
Get out and start doing more for yourself if you feel that your husband isn’t appreciating you as his wife anymore. If you’ve put your life on hold, start living it again. Get a part time job if you spend most of your time being a full time mom. Volunteer or join the local gym. Also, go out with your girlfriends more. Once your husband sees that you do indeed have a life that reaches beyond the confines of your home, he’ll sit up and take notice. He’ll realize that you’re still a dynamic and interesting woman and that you have choices. If he feels you slipping away, he may just start pouring on the love and adoration again.
