Men don’t need luxurious things. Sometimes, these 5 seemingly minor sweet things mean the whole world to them
1. Compliment him.
If you think that only women like to be told they look good, smell good, are hot, smart, or $exy, you are totally wrong. Men are the same. They are also care about their looks and things like what clothes they wear or whether their new haircut looks good
A man will pay attention to the fact that whether the person he loved thought he was attractive. So let him know when you see him and just get that oh my gosh you are so hot tingle.
It’s easy: Tell him the good stuff when it occurs to you. Tell him he looks hot when he wears that old beat-up tee shirt. Let him know how much you love smelling his neck when you hug.
2. Make time for things to get hot in the bedroom.
The best intimacy feels transcendent, mutual, connected, steamy, and dreamy—so keep it sacred and intense for both of you. Making him feel like you really crave him, and him reciprocating, will probably make both your lives happier.
It’s easy: Nurture your desire for him. Choose to fantasize about him, about a time you were together, about that favorite part of his body that you love so much. Then heap all that desire upon him when you have the next opportunity to be together, alone.
3. Be supportive of his alone time.
Unless he’s so absorbed in his alone time that you disappear from his priorities, your separateness is a good thing! If you’re worried about how long he’ll be gone, just set a time when he’ll be back and make plans together for later.
Being apart can give you more to talk about, and when his alone time is used for exercise or meditation, he’ll probably be happier and healthier for having done it.
It’s easy: Smile when he says he’s off to do the things that make him happy on his own. Give him a kiss. He’ll feel seen, heard, and supported.
4. Tell him you appreciate what he does for you and your family.
If your partner works outside the home, let him know that you appreciate what he does. No matter how much he loves his job, there are days when he thinks about throwing in the towel or yelling at his boss, or just hiding away in his office all day. But he doesn’t do it partially because of you, and your family.
Breadwinning is an incredible responsibility for any person, and society emphasizes this even more so for men. Their earning ability, sadly, is often attached to their value in our society. As crappy as that may be, it’s only made worse when we don’t recognize the pressure men are under and their effort.
If your partner is working at home with the kids, he’s also sacrificing for your family.
Tell him that you know how hard it can be to do what he does. Tell him you appreciate it and that you see his commitment. It’s not about the money—yours or his—it’s about acknowledging something that society usually takes for granted.
