7 Amazing Ways To Show Love To Your Wife As A Husband
In my previous article, I discussed at length the ways a wife can show love to her husband. And here, I present you with ways a man can do the same. In today’s fast-paced world, relationships are put to the test. With the demands of work, social media, and other distractions, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s truly important, which is our loved ones. As husbands, we often forget that our wives are not just partners, but also our best friends, confidantes, and soulmates. Showing love to your wives is not just a responsibility, but a privilege. When you prioritize the needs of your wife, you establish a strong foundation for a happy and fulfilling marriage.
In this article, we’ll explore 7 amazing ways to show love to your wife.
1. Communicate Effectively
2. Show Appreciation and Gratitude
3. Be Present and Attentive
4. Support Her Dreams
5. Be Her Safe Haven
6. Show Physical Affection
7. Prioritize Quality Time
1. Communicate Effectively
As easy as it sounds, communicating wrongly with your spouse may cost you your marriage. Effective communication is the backbone of any successful marriage. As husbands, you must learn to listen actively and respond thoughtfully. This means putting away distractions, maintaining eye contact, and engaging in meaningful conversations. When you communicate effectively, you build trust, resolve conflicts, and deepen your connection with your wives. The word of God says a gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words stir up wrath (Proverbs 15:1). While communicating, ensure it’s done with love and gentleness.
2. Show Appreciation and Gratitude
A lot of men today ask what women bring to the table. They feel they bear the most responsibility and therefore, women contribute just a little. Showing appreciation and gratitude is a simple yet powerful way to care for your wife. A simple word as “thank you,” or a surprise gift, can go a long way in making her feel loved and valued. When you focus on what your wives do right, rather than what they do wrong, you create a positive and supportive environment in your marriage. The Bible says love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). Be kind and loving, show appreciation and gratitude for whatever she contributes to the family, no matter how little.
3. Be Present and Attentive
A lot of women relate giving attention to love. Far from material and monetary gifts, some women regard your presence and the attention you give as love. In today’s world of distractions, being present and attentive is more important than ever. When you prioritize quality time with your wife, you show her that she is valued and loved. This means putting away your phones, turning off the TV, and engaging in activities that bring you joy and closeness. The Bible says that as husbands, you should be considerate as you live with your wives, which means you shouldn’t think about yourself alone but ensure you are present (1 Peter 3:7).
4. Support Her Dreams
As a wife, it pleases me when I present my plans to my husband and he gives me his support. His support for me shows his love for me and his desire to see me do well. As husbands, you have the power to either encourage or discourage your wives’ dreams. When you support their passions and aspirations, you show them that you believe in them and their abilities. This means being their biggest cheerleader, offering constructive and not destructive feedback, and helping them achieve their goals. Supporting her dreams also means you have full confidence in her and she will not bring you harm (Proverbs 31:11-12).
5. Be Her Safe Haven
Most wives today feel so insecure in their homes. Some are not free to approach their spouses; their contributions and words do not matter. A wife needs to feel safe and secure in her marriage. As husbands, you must create a sanctuary where your wives can be themselves, without fear of judgment or rejection. When you provide emotional support and a listening ear, you show our wives that you are committed to their well-being and happiness. Your wife should dwell in safety with you while you shield her all day long (Deuteronomy 33:12).
6. Show Physical Affection
Physical affection is an essential aspect of any marriage. When you show your wives physical affection, you release oxytocin, the love hormone, which strengthens your bond and deepens your connection. This means holding hands, hugging, kissing, and having intimate moments. The Bible says the wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife (1 Corinthians 7:4). Your body belongs to your wife, and your wife’s body belongs to you. Deal with her in love and stay away from verbal and physical abuse.
7. Prioritize Quality Time
Most men are busy with work today. Some even work very far from home. I am not in any way condemning this, but there should be a balance whenever you return home to check on your family. Quality time is essential for a healthy and fulfilling marriage. When you spend time with your wives, you show them that they’re valued and loved. This means scheduling regular date nights, engaging in activities they enjoy, and making time for meaningful conversations. This only shows your wife how much you love and care about her. The word of God also supports spending quality time with your wife, therefore make it a priority (Ecclesiastes 9:9).
Conclusion
Showing love to your wife is not just a responsibility, but a privilege. When you prioritize their needs, you build a strong foundation for a happy and fulfilling marriage. By communicating effectively, showing appreciation and gratitude, being present and attentive, supporting her dreams, being her safe haven, showing physical affection, and prioritizing quality time, you can create a marriage that honors God and brings joy to you both.
May this article guide you in your journey as a husband, and may your marriage be blessed with love, laughter, and adventure in Jesus’ name.
