How to Be the Best Husband. Demonstrate for your wife through genuine, concrete gestures
that you are the best bargain in town by paying attention to the little things. You will need
Common ground Tenderness Appreciation Communication and surprises. Step 1. Find common ground
in disagreements with your wife, avoiding indicting adverbs like "never" and "always."
Be the best husband ever and remember what she means to you. Step 2. Pay attention at
the smallest, least significant moments. Make every moment count by listening, having a
simple catch-up-the-day conversation -- laugh a lot. Step 3. Ditch the macho independence
and show your soft side. Gracefully accept help from her once in awhile, either to work
as a team, do activities together, or just to reconnect. Step 4. Touch her in a nonsexual
way to show appreciation for her worth as your loving soul mate. Make a point of brushing
an arm, rubbing her back, affectionately squeezing her waist, or stroking her face out of the
blue. Step 5. Let opportunities to criticize or point out annoying habits pass. She puts
up with your nasty habits -- you owe it to her to put up with hers. Accept her as she
is and quit trying to change her. Step 6. Listen to her without being judgmental, overbearing,
or controlling. Women talk their regrets, hopes, and grievances through in pursuit of
something richer for both of you. Shut up and learn to be a better person and the best
husband. Step 7. Do more around the house. Even the smallest sign that you're trying
can mean the world. Besides, it's not like you don't create some of the clutter and mess
anyway. Step 8. Surprise her. Buy her flowers and add a love note. Go out of the way to
make your wife feel special and you might feel like the best of husbands without her
having to say so. Did you know Research has found that husbands typically enjoy greater
physical health than their unmarried counterparts.
