A Simple Way To Make Her Feel Special
A woman told me this week that the reason she was happy in her second marriage is because her husband was genuinely interested in her and what she thought and did and that he was always respectful.
She said the key that told her he really cared was how he listened with full attention, then asked questions or made comments that showed he was paying attention. Such as, "What did you do today?" After sharing with him, he'd ask if it was fun, what she had learned, or how she enjoyed it. If she bought a new dress, he would ask her to model it for him. Basically, he paid attention.
She said what he got in return was her desire to care for him, give him attention, and do nice things for him, and she became a better listener to him. She said she was a happier person, which was a benefit for everyone around her.
A note to women: When we talk we tend to get carried away with the little details which men generally aren't interested in. If they're not saying it, they're often thinking, "Get to the point." Careful not to bore him. So, a balance is necessary here. It's back to caring and respect. Why would you want to be in a relationship that was anything less?
