Things my husband won’t be doing:
1. Compete with my phone for my attention
Yes, I do get on my phone, but if he were to ask me to put it down, cuddle, or spend quality time together, I would do it in a heartbeat. No questions asked. We committed to each other when we got married, NOT to our phones.
2. Feel like home is heavier than work:
In our recent viral reel about men sitting in cars because home felt heavier than work, our hearts were broken reading thousands of comments. No husband should have to go home to constant nagging and disrespect. Of course this goes both ways. A loving greeting and hug when your spouse gets home means the world and is so easy to do.
3. Beg for intimacy or connection:
No loving husband should have to beg for intimate time. Intimacy should be prioritized for a passionate marriage. If it is not, marriage can slip into roommate mode, and nobody wants that. Initiating intimacy means the world to husbands.
4. Wonder if he is desired:
Being desired is so important. Again, initiating affection and showing desire is a key part of helping your husband feel loved and appreciated.
5. Feel alone in our marriage:
I never want my husband to feel like I am not his best friend or to feel alone in our marriage. I think this takes having fun together, continually flirting, and putting intentional energy into the marriage.
6. Worry about my loyalty:
Never will my husband have to worry about me being loyal. God first, then marriage. Commitment means loyalty, and I believe more couples need to take this seriously. Loyalty is not just physical, it is emotional as well.
7. Have a wife that doesn’t cook for him:😄
Cooking for my man is not every day, but you better believe he deserves a good home cooked meal often, and some homemade bread! Nothing like spoiling him, and he wants to spoil you back!
How do you spoil your husband? ❤️
In my experience, building a loving marriage means continuously investing time and emotional energy so that your partner never feels neglected or unappreciated. For example, putting away distractions like phones and focusing fully on your spouse can do wonders for intimacy and connection. I've learned that simple actions—like greeting my husband warmly when he comes home—make him feel valued and reduce the stress that sometimes accumulates after a long day. Intimacy isn't just physical; it's also about emotional closeness. My husband and I make it a priority to initiate affectionate gestures regularly, which keeps our relationship vibrant and prevents us from slipping into the 'roommate mode' that can happen in long-term relationships. Feeling desired and wanted is fundamental, and showing that through meaningful touches or compliments goes a long way. Another important factor is loyalty—not just in the traditional sense but emotionally as well. This mutual trust creates a strong foundation that safeguards the marriage through tough times. Cooking for each other occasionally is one way I express care; something as simple as a homemade meal can communicate love and effort that speaks louder than words. It's also rewarding to spoil each other, keeping the relationship balanced and joyful. Ultimately, I believe that maintaining fun and flirtation keeps the friendship alive within marriage. Being each other's best friend means sharing laughter, hobbies, and making time for one another despite busy schedules. These practices can help any couple foster a marriage where no husband ever feels alone, unwanted, or undervalued.
