Most people enter marriage hoping to be happy. They expect their spouse to do things that will make them feel they made the right decision when they agreed to marry him. However, they forget that you must try to make your spouse happy first so that your spouse will also reciprocate.
In this article, I want to share with you five things you can do to make your spouse happy so that you can have a great relationship.
1. Make Yourself Happy
One thing you can do to make your spouse happy is to learn to make yourself happy every day. You cannot make someone else happy if you are not happy yourself.
It is when you feel happy that you can relate to your spouse in a manner that will make him or her feel happy.
One way to make yourself happy is to show kindness to the people you meet every day. Studies have shown that when you do kind deeds, it makes you feel happy. Therefore, show kindness to a stranger you meet today as you go to work or give a gift to an orphan you meet in the street today. Make it a habit and do it regularly. It will make you feel happy and you will treat your spouse too with kindness to make him happy.
2. Spend Quality Time with Your Spouse
Another way to make your spouse happy is to sacrifice some other commitments so that you can sit together with your spouse to talk. You do not need to spend hours before your spouse will be happy. Just ten or twenty minutes a day will give you enough time to connect again emotionally. The important thing is to have the will to do it.
When you make time for yourself, converse about how far you have come in your relationship, whether you think your marriage is still strong, things you can do to deepen your commitment to each other, and dreams for the future. Focus your mind on what your spouse says, listen carefully, give him attention, and contribute to the conversation so that the time you spend together will be worthwhile.
3. Be Faithful
Resolve to stick to your spouse no matter the challenges you face in your marriage. Choose to resolve differences as opposed to looking for emotional satisfaction outside the marriage when there are fights. One thing you can do to remain faithful to your spouse is to remember the vows you made to him every day. Type those vows, print it out, frame it nicely, and put it in a place in your room where you can see it every day. Read it when you wake up in the morning, and again in the evening before you go to bed. Reminding yourself of your vows every day will help you to keep focused on your marriage, thereby increasing the chances that you will continue to feel strongly about your marriage.
4. Appreciate Your Spouse Regularly
Appreciation can work like magic. It makes a person's spirit grow larger, he feels so good about himself, and it improves the likelihood that he will treat you with more love and affection. Therefore, appreciate your spouse for fulfilling his responsibilities. Say "thank you" when your husband pays the electricity bill. Tell your wife that, "Darling, you look great in that outfit. I think you are the most beautiful woman on Earth," when your wife is immaculately dressed. Let your spouse feel that he is special and it will make him happy.
5. Do Things Together
Doing activities together can also make your spouse happy. It will afford you an opportunity to communicate and co-operate with your spouse, which is what every spouse wishes for.
Therefore, find time to do things together so that you can strengthen the marriage bond, share affection, talk, and admire your spouse. You may choose to cook together, bath together, do gardening together, or go shopping together. Spending time with your spouse will let him know that you value him and that will make him happy.
Conclusion
You must remember that you need to make your spouse happy if you want your marriage to work. It requires doing things that will make you happy so that you can be in a mood to "infect" your spouse with happiness, making time for your spouse, doing your best to be loyal to your spouse as well as appreciating your partner. When you do these things, he will be happy and you will have a happy marriage.
