Emotional Understanding

The man would certainly prefer to win your heart to satisfy your emotions. Therefore, you must know what your male partner expects from you the most. This differs from a man to man as some of them can easily be attracted very quickly, while the others don’t. Some men are more reserved and passive in their feelings. Keep him realizing that he is the most valuable person in your life and you can hardly survive without having him. Observe the guy’s sentiments, if he desires to be in a relationship, he would ask you for your heart as well, in addition to showing you with his actions and more tangible stable ways.

Self-Respect

No doubt, you would enjoy teasing the opposite sex, but not all the time. Notice the mood of your partner and do whatever he likes. Give him respect instead of making him fun or irritating him. Try to understand his reactions when you respect him, and hope it will give you a return beyond your expectations. Your respect will avoid him from  being frustrated and other mind boggling things and he will fall in true love that will consequently turn into marriage. In a nutshell, stay positive in all matters as your negative attitude may have a very bad impact on your life-partner.

Admiration

Everyone is particular about his/ her ego, especially the men as they love to hear about their personality, character, image education, and profession, etc. Try to find out the opportunities to show appreciation for  him whether he deserves it or not, just make him realize that he is very special to you. Your acknowledgements about his dedication & contributions will  please him.

Accepting the Man as your counterpart

It is natural when you accept & admit that your partner is the only man you can live with forever. Most men become men ages 35 -42. And if not, it will become a question mark on your survival.

You should be your husband’s greatest fan, believing in him when nobody else does. Learn to speak well of your partner in public and in private. Conversely you will lose his  trust if you expose his weaknesses to his friends  and family. It is the need of the hour and the healthy relationship to let your partner feel like a hero.
