subject: What Men Can Do To Save A Relationship [print this page] It is sad how many marriages end in divorceIt is sad how many marriages end in divorce. Broken homes and broken families is not the goal people have in mind when they get married. They usually hope for the white picket fence and a dog in the backyard. Unfortunately, it takes work to achieve the goal and many marriage partners realize that fact too late.
Maybe it is human nature, but many times when a relationship goes bad you can look to the man for the problem. Now I am not saying that men are the cause of all marital problems, not at all. But the problem seems to be that many men get lazy in their relationship and take their partner for granted. So what can men do to keep the love alive and possibly save their marriage from a tragic end?
Men are simple creatures and it doesn't take much to keep them happy, however women are just the opposite. For as simple as men are, women are very complex. They tend to read messages into every action and deed, plus they notice everything! A man may not realize he didn't compliment dinner. He thought it was great and he enjoyed every bite. But by not acknowledging the cook he might unknowingly have caused a problem.
It doesn't just come down to complimenting dinner. It is a matter of keeping the love alive in every aspect of your life. Now you don't have to shower your spouse with gifts and flowers every waking moment, but take the time to acknowledge her and her efforts. Let's take a look at a few specific things that men can do to keep the marriage healthy and happy.
Treat your wife as your equal. Many men still have the chauvinistic attitude of the early to mid twentieth century. They tend to believe that women are beneath men and not as valuable to society. Nothing could be further from the truth! Men and women may have different roles at times, but both their roles are equally important to society. Let your wife know that you value her as an equal partner in all you do.
Don't consider household chores as 'women's work'. Cleaning up the house can and should be a chore that everyone helps with especially if your wife works outside the home. Take your turn doing dishes, vacuuming and doing laundry. This will help your wife feel that she is your equal and that you genuinely care about her.
Encourage your wife to have hobbies and other interests. Show her that you value her talents and interest and support her in her endeavors. Make sure your wife knows that her hobbies are just as important as yours, no matter what they are. Maybe invite your wife to become a part of your hobbies and interests. Take her golfing or hiking, find something that the two of you enjoy doing together and make a habit of it.
Men are not always the culprit in a failed relationship, but men can put a little extra effort in to help keep a marriage healthy and happy. Show your wife you love her in both words and actions. You will have a happy spouse and that translates into a happy marriage!
