Secrets to a Happy Husband, Part 2

The companion piece for the short post I wrote the other day. Ladies, here are your tips!

5 Things You can Do to Make Your Husband Smile Today

  1. Grant him some time for his hobby. Tell him to go do whatever it is that he likes doing while you do something for yourself, or watch the kids-whatever you need to do so that he can unwind. 
  2. Let him pick what you watch. Have your guy pick a TV show or movie, or even a sport to watch (I know I'm cringing!), and watch it together, without complaining.
  3. Ask him about his day. I know, that sounds easy. The trick is actually listening. Not while you are helping your children with insert task here, or cooking dinner or otherwise distracted. Make eye contact and pay attention. 
  4. Steer the conversation his way. You know the things your man likes, maybe it is classic cars, sports or politics. Read an article about something that would interest him, then tell him about it, and ask his opinion.
  5. Give him a foot rub. Take off the sweaty socks and shoes, and clean and rub his feet while he relaxes. Use a warm washcloth and some foot lotion, and he will love it.
