If you find yourself asking "How can I be
a good husband?" then that means that you are well on your way to becoming
one. Just asking yourself this question means that you already have the most
important quality of a husband - love for your wife. After all, why ask that
question if you don't care what your partner thinks of you?
To answer the question however, can be easier
said then done. So, here are some tips on how to be a good husband.
Stay Affectionate
Be the same sweet and caring guy that you were
before the marriage. It may not look like it, but wives appreciate certain
affection from their husbands no matter how small it is. Perhaps bring her some
roses at the end of the day or take her out to dinner in a romantic setting. It
doesn't have to be extravagant. As long as the gesture shows affection, your
partner will be happy for it and reward you with the same feelings.
Listen to Her
Like it or not, women have periods of being
emotional. It's a part of their nature, and as a good husband, it is your role
to listen and pat her on the back when she's having problems. Know when to
criticize and when to be a silent sounding board for her problems.
Leave Something for
Yourself
Being a good husband doesn't mean you always
have to answer to her needs. Remember that marriage is a partnership, so
sometimes your wife should be the one giving way instead of the other way around.
To do this, don't be afraid to talk to her about your own problems and
insecurities. Open up and a good wife will give you the same support and love
you have shown her.
Let It Go
Don't hold on to the little stuff. Everyone
has bad habits and chances are you have some that she doesn't like. If it's
inconsequential, then simply let it be. Only bring it up if the problem becomes
too repetitious to ignore. However, give this observation in a
non-confrontational manner.
Respect the Vows
Husbands are supposed to love, protect and
remain faithful to their wives so follow through with that. Physical aggression
is never the answer and cheating can be disastrous to any relationship. Never
talk about your wife behind her back, even to trusted friends. If you have a
problem, tell her about it first. Imagine how your wife will feel if she finds
out from a third party about complaints you have in the relationship.
Maintain Physical
Intimacy
Physical intimacy is a crucial part of any
marriage so make sure to keep the fire burning in the bedroom.
Of course, those aren't the only tips on how
to become a good husband. When it comes right down to it though, being a good
husband means being able to communicate thoroughly with your wife. Telling her
how you feel - and being receptive of what she feels - will make it easier for
the two of you as a couple to adjust and compromise. Remember that there are no
perfect relationships, but with cooperation from both parties, staying happily
married is perfectly possible. Most importantly - love your wife. If you love
her, being a good husband will naturally follow.

My wife was so smooth at hiding her infidelity and I had no proof for months, I saw a recommendation about a Private investigator and decided to give him a try.. the result was incredible because all my cheating wife’s text messages, whatsapp, facebook and even phone calls conversations was linked directly to my cellphone. (worldcyberhackers@gmail.com) Mr James helped me put a round-the-clock monitoring on her and I got concrete evidence and gave it to my lawyer..if your wife is an expert at hiding her cheating adventures contact him. thank you
