14 Ways to make your husband love you more

Ways to make your husband love you more are numerous depending on the situation. In a marriage where trust have eroded, there’s always this thought of “How can I make my husband love me more?” or “How can I re-activate love in our relationship”?.

Sometimes he simply needs a boost. A boost to his ego so he will believe you want him, physically as well as emotionally. Sometimes he needs some extra effort on your part to be enticed and drawn toward you.

Just as there are a myriad of reasons he might seem to have lost interest in you, there are also a myriad of ways to recapture his interest and make him want to pursue you again.

Where has love gone to?

It is not that love completely vanishes from your married life. You both married each other because you love each other. Love is not a feeling that can disappear all of a sudden. It is just that certain things happen that the intensity and passion that you both felt for each other diminishes to a great extent. Now you might be wondering, how can I make my  husband love me again?

Both of you can be at fault for the coldness in your married life. There are many reasons for which you might be functioning like robots in your marriage and don’t feel that intensity and passion anymore.

Some of the reasons behind the disappearance of love from your marriage are:

  1. You both might have got pre-occupied with family commitments and responsibilities
  2. Children might have become a top priority in your life
  3. You both might have shifted your attention to earning loads of money in order to make your family life secure
  4. Communication gap between the two of you might have widened because of work or family obligations
  5. Both of you fail to give ample time to each other
  6. Little gestures of appreciation like making a cup of tea for the partner or taking the partner out for dinner are missing in your married life
  7. Either of you might have high expectations from married life which are not being met
  8. You both become so familiar with each other that there is hardly anything new or exciting left to explore.

If you know your spouse’s love languages, make a concerted effort to do one thing each day to speak your spouse’s love language. If his love language is words of affirmation, slip a note into his pocket before he leaves for work, or send him a text. Or just tell him one thing you love about him before bed each night. Set a reminder on your phone each day at the same time reminding you to do one practical thing to let him know you value him.
