But just because she’s keeping quiet, doesn’t mean there aren’t things that would make her day. Your wife will be floating on cloud nine if you give her these 7 things she secretly wants:
1. Compliments
Of course, your wife won’t come up to you and say, “Hey honey, you should give me more compliments. Ready, go.” But there’s not a wife out there who wouldn’t appreciate their husband upping their compliment game. Try to give her praise about a variety of things (go above and beyond “you look nice.”)
2. To feel appreciated
Many wives (especially if they are moms) work so hard every day, but their accomplishments go unnoticed with every dish they scrub and every screaming child they calm. She needs to hear that her hard work is appreciated and doesn’t go unnoticed – as her husband, that’s something you can certainly do.
3. A boyfriend
No, not a boyfriend on the side. Even though you are her husband, she wants you to still act like her boyfriend every so often by flirting, getting excited to do things with her and asking her out on real dates.
4. Intimacy
Women needs intimacy. This comes in a wide range of ways. Undivided attention is one part. Holding her hand is another. s*x is yet another. For women, s*x is emotional, as well as physical. Your wife would not reveal to you this, however, she needs more than physical joy. She needs closeness. When it comes to happiness in the bedroom for both of you, the more open conversation, the better.
5. UNDIVIDED ATTENTION
Husbands, your wife needs your undivided attention. She wants to feel valued. Making sure you focus on her is a huge component of feeling valued. She probably doesn’t often express her wish for you to spend less time on your phone, but she would really appreciate more time with you away from those distractions. Exit out of social media, turn off the Xbox and do something together, away from electronics to make her day.
6. Meaningful conversations
Too many married couples can be found sitting at restaurant tables silently waiting for their food to arrive. You’re the number one person in her life – out of anyone she knows, she wants to have a meaningful conversation with you most of all. So kill the silence and bring up an interesting topic you heard about earlier, or just tell her about your day. She’ll love it.
7. Surprises
Even if it’s a small, inexpensive or homemade gift, she’ll absolutely love that you’re thinking about her enough to plan a little surprise. So throw a surprise party on her birthday and whisk her away on an out-of-the-blue trip this weekend.
