Finding love, isn't always the hard part. It is keeping it or rather keeping it alive. Life happens. Life can interrupt one's love life. Making money and paying those bills can keep a couple from centering around what is important, each other and their love. Then when the children come it is even harder to concentrate on each other as often as you would like.

But there are some key things you can do to keep your man interested.

Yes, sex is part of it. We all know this fact. But in a real relationship a man and a woman need more than sex. They need to feel needed, loved, cherished and trusted. The trusted part is easy if all is going well with your relationship and there is no emotional baggage from previous relationships. The loved part comes pretty naturally. But it is the needing and cherishing part that sometimes needs a little work.

You like it when your husband needs and wants you. You also like it when he does those sweet little things that make you smile. Well, men need some of that attention, too.

Here are a few suggestions on ways to help show your man you cherish, need and want him.

1. Ask him for advice. Don't go overboard on this because men don't want to feel like they are making all the decisions. But try not to be such a Queen of your castle that you forget to once in a while stop and ask him what he thinks. No, he might not really care about the color of the curtains. But he might enjoy being asked once in a while.

2. Give him some treats. Okay, so you are both on a diet and you both are trying to stay healthy. That is all well and good. But once in a while, give that diet a break and surprise him with his favorite treat, chips, chocolate candy, whatever. My guys loves the occasional banana split.

Takeaways
  • Ask for advice. Men likes stating their opinions, once in a while.
  • Actually listen when he talks.
  • Make time for couple time, this includes sex.

good article, popular topic... question: why doesn't anyone ever write on the REVERSE? I mean, I've never had a problem on either side of the topic, but it seems it's always off-balance- everything SHE should do to 'keep HIM interested'... & I don't recall ever seeing anything from the OTHER angle... cool article, though!

Nice article! For fun you may want to read my article "How To Be The Other Woman In Your Husband's Life". We must be on the same wave length!

Good ideas but doesn't some of it sound like what you do with a dog?
