If you are a newly married husband or one celebrating your 50th wedding anniversary, you still can learn how to be a better husband. Relationships are a never-ending process that take work on a daily basis to stay at their optimal level. Even the best husband in the world can work on some things.
Step 1
Listen. When your wife opens up to you, listen to her while giving her your full attention. You cannot be a great husband if you don’t listen and know what your wife wants you to hear.
Compromise with your wife. Relationships should never be a one-way street. If you two have a differing opinion on a subject, try to find a middle ground that will appease both parties.
Ask your wife how she is doing every day. Doing so makes her know that you care and lets her be able to make you aware of any issues before they escalate to bigger problems.
Count to 10 before continuing if an argument becomes heated. You don’t want to say something you don’t mean and hurt your wife’s feelings. Try to remain civil, and work toward a mutual understanding. Fighting for the sake of fighting doesn’t make sense for either party. If you can keep your cool, more than likely she’ll keep hers.
Treat yourself and your wife to dates on a regular basis. Even if you are stressed out with work and children, put time aside specifically for you and your wife.
