Husbands, Pay Attention to Your Wife

Keeping your wife interested can be a challenge at times. Surprising her with an occasional gift is nice at times. More endearing to her heart is going out of your way to do something for her completely unexpected. Women are more appreciative of the little things than how much money you make, the fancy car you may drive and that mansion you want to live in someday. Sometimes having a break from the expected evening routine can be a good stress reliever.

Surprise your gal with a trip to a massage salon before dinner some evening. Tell her you wanted to do something for her special with your own two hands, but you chose to hire someone else. Take her out on this excursion as soon as she arrives home from work, or if she stays at home as soon as you get home. She may ask what it is you have in store for her. You can either tell her or not. She may not like surprises, so tell her.

There are some masseuses that will come to your home making the situation more convenient and surprising. Upon the arrival of the masseuse, be quick to answer the door without appearing to expect someone. Her curiosity will increase with anticipation of what is to come next.

There are so many other ways to peak your wife's interests that to name them all would turn into a novel. Another idea is to think of her needs more than your own. Drawing a hot bath with candles lit in the bathroom is a good way to set a relaxing mood for her. This is best done out of generosity without expecting anything in return. Put on a CD of her favorite relaxing music, and offer up her favorite snack served on a tray. She might even have a good book she wants to read after the fact. Lay it out for her in her favorite reading area.

The flame will never die if you keep her interests at heart. Your wife may be the type who likes to fiddle with her hair. Offer to brush or comb it for her while she is watching her favorite show. She may offer tips on how to brush or comb her hair. Listen to her because she is the one who regularly takes care of her hair. She may have a method that keeps from damaging it.

Believe it or not, some women are romanticized by a husband who takes out the trash, washes the dishes, dusts, sweeps, mops and vacuums. These tasks seem piddly to us men, but a short woman has a lower center of gravity. This can cause them to have back problems from the sweeping, mopping and vacuuming. Some women also are sensitive to lifting heavy items. Plus, women tend to have more sensitive noses than us men.

A husband may find it best to either keep a mental tally of what keeps his wife interested, or a journal of these ideas will be of great benefit. A forgetful husband will need to work on himself more than others. His struggle to keep on top of things will be a challenge. Keeping a wife's interest is probably the most enduring challenge any husband could have.
