I know that you've read articles and seen on TV that the divorce rate has risen, no one believes in marriages anyone. If you're going through some rough times in your marriage, don't give up on your marriage, everyone will have bumps in the road every now and then but if you wait, the road will soon smooth out.
Marriages are not what they use to be! Marriages don't last long anymore, people get married for a year and then they divorce, no one is willing to go through anything in marriages anymore. Well I'm not a marriage advisor but I do have some experience being in a happy marriage and I can give you tips from what I've experienced in my marriage.
These are tips mainly for wives toward their husbands but they can be used for the wives from their husbands as well!
1. Boost your husbands ego, this is a biggie with men, I tell my husband how great he is, how much I love him and he's the provider of my home, that makes him feel real good. A man wants to know that he's doing a good job and that he's providing for his family!
2. If your husband works a full time job and you're a stay at home mom or wife try and have the house cleaned and his food prepared for him. I have my husbands clothes ready for him to bathe when he gets off work, when he eats, I prepare his food for him and I have his drink ready as well, if he has worked hard that day I'll really pamper him, he doesn't have to do anything but shower, eat and television.
3. Leave little notes for him around the house or place one in his car before he goes to work and that will start his day off with a smile. Leave one in the bathroom before or after work, you just never know how your husband day was or how it will be and just a little note will go along ways.
4. If you have friends or relatives who've been married for along time, try going out with them, going out with other happy married couples' helps you in your marriage as well. Marriage is just like going to school, you need to learn some things, you go level to level, if you past this level, and you'll go to the next level.

You offered some good suggestions, Carolyn. I like #1. Men do like to hear how much they mean to you.

Lovely sentiments and tips- thanks!
The spoiling of the deserving husband is a lost art in America. These tips are part of the reason the divorce rate in Sweden is so very low, people here do appreciate each other and go out of their way to show it. Nice job.
Thank you for your comment. I'm a stay at home mom but when I worked I still did those things for him. He's good to me and I'm good to him. I have 3 children that are spaced out really good they are 16, 12 and 4 so I have a lot of time doing all these things.
Thanks again for commenting!
Carol, there are very few women today who will spoil their husband the way you do. Most women work outside the home and the ones who don't are usually busy chasing little ones all over. I love the way you talk about setting your hubbies clothes out after his shower and having his drink ready, but it reminds me of the 40's and 50's and I think I should lived back then. Your husband must really love being spoiled and I hope mine doesn't read this because he will get jealous. LOL
