Respect her. Many couples often behave comfortably with their partner. This causes them to gradually lose the strong bond that brought them together in the first place. In order not to fall into this situation, every day tell your wife how much you appreciate her. When she walks into the room, let her know that you feel her presence. Give her a passionate kiss when you both wake up early in the morning or when she comes home from work. Let her know that you always feel her presence and the bond between the two of you.

Try to hug her. A hug is a simple physical bond that conveys how much you love her and that you appreciate her being around.

Say you love her. Just the simple things like telling your wife you love her will make her happy. Daily life is often hectic and tiring, and such little things are often forgotten. You can say love every day as a habit, but say it seriously and honestly. Before you leave the house, look her in the eye and tell her you love her. Let her know that you say you love her because you feel love for her, not out of habit. She knows very well how deep your love for her is, but hearing it from your own mouth with strong conviction will help her feel it.

Along with words are affectionate gestures, such as a hug, kiss, or caress. Make the gesture in a romantic way, not in a lustful way. You’ll want her to feel that you’re still flirting with her every day, just like you did before you got married. ^{[1] X Research Source}

Learn your wife’s love language to make her feel truly special. Your love language is how you show and receive love. Once you understand your partner’s love language, use that to figure out what makes her feel really special. Don’t be afraid to be creative and think outside the box — you can succeed in discovering the element of surprise.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b8/Make-Your-Wife-Happy-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Your- Wife-Happy-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b8/Make-Your-Wife-Happy-Step-3- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Your-Wife-Happy-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Buy her a gift. Surprise your wife often with a gift. It doesn’t have to be an elaborate or expensive gift. Just give her a small gift to let her know that you’re thinking about her. Appear in front of the house with boxes of chocolate candies. Picked her a bouquet of flowers on her way home from work. Buy her the book she has added to her online favorites list. Notice what she says she likes and surprise her by buying it for her. She not only appreciates the gift you gave her, but also feels happy that the gift you bought proves that you are thinking about her. ^{[2] X Research Source}

Gifts sometimes don’t need to be physical gifts. Anything you do for her surprises her. Surprise her by cooking her favorite dishes. Help her do the laundry because you know she hates it. You can even take the kids out so she can spend time with her friends. ^{[3] X Research Sources}

Say thanks. Sometimes, marriage is about enduring conversations like “I’ve done this, now it’s your turn to do that.” Don’t let your actions go to your partner as if they had to repay you with another action. Instead, take time each day to say thank you to your wife for what she’s done. Say thank you in the morning as she warms up the coffee. Say thank you when she picks up the dry cleaning after work while you’re in a meeting. Whatever the occasion, let her know that you see everything she does for you.

Try to say thank you even if it’s just something simple. Tell her “Thanks for being you.” or “Thank you for being the wonderful wife that every man would love to have.” This will help her understand that you are more than simply grateful for what she does for you. ^{[4] X Research Sources}

Give her her own space. Both of you were singles before getting married. Sharing a life together doesn’t mean you two have to share your own interests. Give her time to write all day in her room if she wants to. Allow her to go to the gym alone. Give her her own space completely separate from you to let her do her own hobbies. She will cherish the time to recharge and be happier with it.

Don’t bring sadness on yourself if she wants to do something without you. Just because she wants to go to the bookstore alone, doesn’t mean she stops loving you. Support her in doing what she wants and encourage yourself to do the same. If each of you is happy, then both of you will be happy together. ^{[5] X Research Sources}

Let her decide. There are many small decisions in daily married life. It can be a small decision regarding what you want to eat for dinner. Ask her what she wants for dinner. Let her choose the movie you two will watch on your date night. Give her the remote when you sit down to watch TV in the evening. Play her favorite game at night. Letting her know that her opinion matters and that you care about her and let her make her own decisions will make her happy.

Don’t grumble or get upset about her choice. It just makes her angry and makes you look like a spoiler.

Write a love letter to your wife. Writing a love letter may sound intimidating at first, but it is considered a simple and effective way to make her happy. You don’t have to be a great writer, just tell her how you feel. Tell her the things about her that fascinate you and how she makes you feel. Tell her that you can’t imagine what your life would be like without her. Explain how you acted immaturely without her in your life. Simply write by saying that her smile is the most beautiful sound in the world or how much you love the way her hair rubs against your face while you sleep.

Hide these letters around the house in places where she can easily find them. Put a letter in her makeup bag or under her pillow before you both go to bed. Letters like these will be a sweet surprise for her and make her happy all day long.

Compliment her in front of others. When you and your wife meet new friends, introduce her proudly. Use phrases like, “Let me introduce you to my beautiful wife.” or “This is the important half of my life.” This helps her see how much she means to you. She’ll also realize that you want to let others know how much she means to you.

You should do the same even when she’s not with you. When you drink coffee during a break at work, talk about your wife’s cooking or she just got a promotion at work. She will be the star of your next party at work and she will know how much you love and admire her. Furthermore, your colleagues and friends will notice how perfect a match you two are and will treat you both more kindly as a result. ^{[6] X Research Sources}

Have a regular date night every now and then. Dating is often forgotten in the hustle and bustle of married life. Pay attention to regularly dating in the evening with your wife every week. Do what you both enjoy. Try something new on every date. Go to the cinema. Go out for dinner and dancing. It’s even simple things like enjoying the evening without any worries about daily life. Turn off your phones and spend the evening together and reflect on how much you mean to each other. She will be happy to put aside everything around her and enjoy a meaningful evening with you.

If you two have kids, find a reliable babysitter so you don’t have to worry about the kids at night. This allows both of them to focus on each other.
It’s not necessary to go on a date every week if you’re both too busy with work and family. Just make sure you don’t take too long to date and that you date often. Don’t date once or twice and then forget about the next one.

Take care of yourself. When you’ve been married for a long time, you may forget to take care of certain parts of your body because you’re too comfortable with your other half. Show your wife how much she means to you by always appearing neat in front of her. Don’t just dress up for special occasions. Try to look attractive in front of her even at home. Wear jeans and a decent shirt to dinner with her, instead of wearing sweatpants at home. This will make her feel a little special and happy. ^{[7] X Research Sources}

Offer to help. Ask your wife what you can do to help her. Whether it’s just washing the dishes in the evening or picking up the kids after school, ask what you can do to help her relax. Push the supermarket trolley back to its original position after you are done shopping. Offer to ride with the kids when she gives a presentation at work. It can be even something as simple as asking if you can lighten the load for her by letting her know that you would do anything for her.

Don’t wait until she takes the initiative to speak up when she needs help getting something done. If you see the sink full of dishes, don’t ask if she needs help. Just consciously wash the dishes.
Make sure you do these tasks on a regular basis. Doing it once is great, but making it a habit will make your wife happier every day. ^{[8] X Research Sources}

Notify her first every time there is new news. When something big happens, tell your wife first. Let her know that she is the most important person in your life. If you get a promotion at work, don’t call your best friend and say how talented you are. Wait until you get home from work and tell your wife about the news. Then go tell the others. She will know that she is special to you and that will make her happy. ^{[9] X Research Source}

Listen to her. When your partner comes to you with a difficult problem, listen to what she has to say. Don’t try to negotiate with her by expressing anger in the situation or discussing how you would like to resolve the issue. If she tells you that she’s being pushed around by someone in the company over her work, don’t start by complaining how unfair it is. You’re stopping listening to her and depriving her of the opportunity to vent. Let her vent and complain to you, this will help dispel her frustration.

Show her that you’re listening by nodding your head every time she complains. Your presence and support is what she needs and will make her happy.
Answer simply and sincerely. All you have to do is say things like, “That sucks, honey. I’m really sorry.” This lets her know that you understand how sad the situation is. ^{[10] X Research Source}

Show affection in public. Some of the initial romantic gestures fade away as you get married. Let’s rekindle some emotional gestures. Hold your wife’s hand when you go for a walk together. Put your arm around her when you two go out to dinner. Gently kiss her as you wait to cross the street. These little moments of love will let her know how much she means to you. She’ll also realize that you don’t care if other people know it or not.

Show affection simply and appropriately. You wouldn’t want to go on a date with her at a restaurant with all eyes on the two of you. Make sure that the actions you take are comfortable for both of you.

Afternoon wife in bed. Sexual attachment is important in any strong marriage. Don’t make it a habit to have sex at the same time and place every week. Getting married allows you plenty of time to explore and find out what she wants and needs from you in order to satisfy all her desires. Ask her if there’s anything she’d like to do in bed. Combine that by trying something new and exciting to make her happy.

Tell her regularly how you like the feeling of having sex with her. Let her know that you’re enjoying your sex to the fullest. ^{[11] X Research Source}

Reinforce intimacy and passion beyond bed. While sex is important, there are always ways to show intimacy and passion beyond sex. Simple things like getting her advice on a problem you’re having at work will bring intimacy to your relationship. Show her how much you love her by taking her in your arms and kissing her while she’s doing the laundry. Cuddle her on the couch while you’re both reading a book or listening to music. The closer the two of you are, the happier your wife will be.

Spend time with your wife every day. It could be enjoying a cup of tea or coffee together in the morning as you talk about your plans for the day. It can also be that rare moment after dinner when you talk about what happened to you that day. Just make sure you talk to her all the time so she can see that you care.
The degree of infatuation and intimacy in each couple is different. Find out which style suits your wife best. Look for times when you and her interact effectively. Talk to her about what she wants and needs from you to get closer. ^{[12] X Research Sources}^{[13] X Research Sources}

Talk to her. Staying silent when you’re with your wife will make her feel disconnected from you. Talk to your wife about how you feel. Be frank and honest with what you think and feel every day. Talk to her every time you feel insecure or worried about something. Let her know if she’s hurting your feelings or making you happy. The more sincere you are with her, the closer and happier you will be. ^{[14] X Research Source}

If you’re having a hard time expressing how she feels, do your best. If she sees your effort, she will realize how much you care for her.
