Marriage Advice for Man – Don’t just Say it, Show it and Mean it.

Some one asked me the other day for some specific marriage advice for man . Well one issue that comes up time and time again is that women often don’t know if their partner loves them or not. So to all you men out there show her that you love her, don’t just say it!!

So many men just wait until their wives ask if they love them and then they say ‘of course I love you, you don’t need to ask’. Sometimes they don’t even mention the ‘love you’ bit for fear of embarrassment. This is the kind of response given time and time again but at the end of the day words don’t really count for very much unless you mean them and you show that you mean them.

Loving someone isn’t just saying ‘I love you’ of ‘of course I do’ at certain prompted intervals. Love is in the way you feel, in the way you treat someone, in how you act and in what you say. Love is having respect for someone, being there for them and looking forward to those special intimate moments. Love means understanding your partner, respecting their opinions and ideas and helping them with all the mindless boring chores. Love means pulling together in good times and in bad.

Marriage advice for man, if you really care for your partner then now is the time to start showing it. 

• Put your wife first and the football second!!
• Pay her compliments and mean them. Make her feel special.
• In intimate moments think of your partners pleasure as well as your own.
• Don’t just say you are sorry, actually mean it.
• If you say you are going to do something, do it.
• If you say you are going to be somewhere, be there.
• Don’t keep on making the same mistake over and over. It’s a clear sign that you haven’t listened and you don’t care.
• Find things that you can do together and both enjoy. It’s all too easy to grow apart when you don’t spend quality time together.
• Listen to what your wife has to say. Listen, understand and take action.
• Don’t ever assume the grass is greener elsewhere. It might be different but not necessarily better!!
• Help with all those horrible chores around the house, especially if you are both working. If you don’t like doing something then the likelihood is that your wife doesn’t either. Marriage is a partnership and you need to work together as a team so that you both enjoy the same amount of free time. Understanding each other, respecting each other and striking a balance is what counts.
• Plan a surprise every now and then, maybe a short break, an evening out or cook a romantic dinner.

At the end of the day marriage advice for man isn’t that different to marriage advice for women, treat your partner as you would want to be treated.
