5 practical tips to keep your marriage happy

How to make your wife happy or how to be a good husband. 

1. Money management

Whether you are the single income earner or both of you are working, your wife needs emotional security. In other words, as a husband, you must know how to manage your money well. It does not have to be perfect but as a husband,you have to make sure that the money is enough to pay for the bills, food and pocket money. If a husband doesn't know how to manage his money or the family's economy well, this could create unnecessary conflicts between husband and wife. 

2. Give her space and time with her family

      Before you came into her life, she was raised by her loved ones she calls family. Her parents and her siblings mean  a lot to her. Her family perhaps represents half of her memories. Trying to prevent her from seeing her family is just like taking away half of her soul. As a daughter, she has unfinished "emotional debt" with her family especially her parents. She needs to be given the freedom to pay back everything that her parents or her siblings have done for her. She may not be able to pay back everything that her  parents have done for her but at least the time spent for her loved ones will give her peace of mind and heart. No matter how old your wife gets, she is still a daughter to somebody she calls parents. As long as her parents are still alive, give her as much time as possible to spend with her family. 

3. Help her with house-chores.  

       A man doesn't to have to do everything at home but small deeds done with lots of love will keep your wife happy. There are a few things that you can do as a husband at home such as cleaning the fans and the toilets, changing burn-out bulbs and etc. However, I think the one that a wife loves the most is when the husband is a good chef. If you don't know how to cook, learn how to cook. No excuses. You may fail hundreds of times but as time goes by, as you will be very good at it and addicted to it. In other words, you are actually adding more flowers into the gardens of your marriage. 

4. Learn to say "I am sorry". 

       Man's main problem is his ego while woman's main problem is overthinking or over sensitive. If the relationship is more important than your ego or overthinking, learn to say sorry as fast a possible. Being silent for more than 2 or 3 days or perhaps one week will create more negative thoughts in the minds of both parties and more fire in the hearts of both parties. It is not easy but if she means everything to you, start with a friendly gesture, say something nice and ends with "I am sorry". 

5. Don't try to make a woman a man. 

    Woman and man are two different creations. You have to be very observant because their facial expressions represent many things. Use your instinct wisely because your wife's smile or eyes have something to say even though they say nothing. If you could notice all of these changes, your wife will appreciate you because you notice her tears and worries. In other words, it shows how much you care about her.
