Men are simple. Learn and understand your man.

Make sure your husband is first, every day.

Provide him with a safe, loving, and stimulating environment, and you will be a vital part of his happiness forever. A man who experiences this kind of love would be a fool to let you go.

Men are simple creatures and very dependent upon their wives for understanding, respect, nurturing, acceptance, approval, support and affection. When those are restored, all is well in their world.

A man needs encouragement, he needs to know you have his back no matter what. Praise, compliments, support, and loyalty. 

Men love to laugh, and they love women who have a great, spontaneous sense of humor. Even more, they love to see their wives happy.

Men are different. They think differently, they feel differently, and they communicate differently. They are NOT WRONG for that. They are beautiful too, in their own way.

Instead of complaining about how much he works, praise him for working so hard. Let him know how much you appreciate how hard he works. Husbands need to work and want to work. Who they are, what they do, and how much money they make are three very important parts of your husband.

Instead of complaining whenever something is not done or fixed, praise him when something is done and fixed.

Invest time, attention, and energy wisely; treasure your husband’s companionship above all others. Make sure you have time together and let him know how much you cherish your time together.

A man enjoys talking and sharing his heart with his woman, when he knows that she will listen without offering opinions and being judgmental.

Men love it when you are a part of their world. Get involved!

When women understand and have realistic expectations about how men are, they are happier. Focus on all the positive things about your man and don't focus on the negative things. Appreciate who he is and don't try to change him.

It takes men seven hours minimum to process emotional data. There are brain differences between men and women. Understand men and women are different emotionally. Give him time to talk and make it safe for him to want to share his heart with you.

Be a woman of understanding-learn how to communicate and when to communicate in a way that your husband can fully participate. Don’t let petty annoyances poison your relationship. Live with and celebrate the mystery of living with each other. Become more understanding of him and who he is as a man and husband.

Learn how to have control over your emotions. Don't play emotional games. Playing emotional blackmail will soon get old and you will find him outgrowing you. Being emotionally immature usually comes from being insecure with yourself and what you are bringing to the relationship.

Sexual fulfillent is a vital part of who a man is and how great of a man he can be. If your man is not the best man he can be, it may be because his sexual fulfillment is not a priority in the relationship. This is a major emotional and physical need for a man and when this is not restored in their world, everything else matters less. When you find him not wanting to spend time with you, talk with you, do things for you, fix things for you, take you out, or make you feel important and loved...it is most likely because he is not as happy and fulfilled as he should be.  

Women have all the power in the relationship to make or break it; how strongly we can influence a man, make him feel like a man. Being loving to your husband does not make you a slave; you catch more flies with honey than nags!

If there’s enough real reward (understanding, respect, appreciation, affection, approval, support, and admiration) they will do almost anything for the source of reward.

 A man can do and will do so much more if his woman lets him know that he is her hero, and that she respects and loves him. Any woman too high on her horse to understand how important her moral support is to her man’s masculinity misses out on real woman power, and also misses out on a happy, motivated husband. 

Keep it simple...your man is simple...his needs are simple. He wants you to learn about him. He wants you to make time for him. He wants appreciation and respect.  He is not just a paycheck, or just a person living in your home. He has needs and wants. Take time each day to show him how much you appreciate and cherish him. Don't negelect him or his needs. Dont focus on the negative things about him. Be his girlfriend and wife. Be fun and positive. Make him want to treat you as good as you treat him unconditionally. A well-treated man will definitely become the best man possible. Women tend to complicate their relationship because they don't really understand their man and his needs.

Start here:Ask your husband what his wishlist for your relationship is? Ask him to list everything that you can do that would make him happy. Do those things every day and see what kind of man he can be in return. Remember, women have all the power.
