The Basics of Keeping Your Man Happy

You love your husband to death, but sometimes you wonder just how you can help him. He works hard for you and the kids day after day and you want to be sure he knows just how much you appreciate him. And of course, you want to keep him happy and pleasant to be around when he's at home!

Don't worry, it's really not hard to keep your man happy and content - at least while he's at home. Remember you can't really control his happiness or his stress outside of the home. But you can do a lot at home to show your appreciation for him and give him a comforting home.

First, if you have children, you need to get them under control. I'm not saying that you have wild, uncontrollable children (if you do, you really need to take control). But your husband is going to feel frazzled and stressed if he goes from the office to the house - where he's met by screaming, melting down children (or sullen, moody children).

Come to think of it, you feel stressed and frazzled by screaming, melting down children! Take the time to study child rearing and learn how to be in charge of your kids. Remember, you're the mom. You are the one in charge of the kids - they're not here to run all over you! Your man will end up taking care of some discipline - that's part of parenting. But try to get the children doing well with listening and doing what they're supposed to be doing so your husband can come home and enjoy the family.

Next, forget about all the things your husband is supposed to be doing around the house. That's right. Just let go of all of that. If he's supposed to take out the trash and it's overflowing, don't nag him. You just take it out. And focus on how glad you are that the trash is empty with a fresh bag in it - don't think grumpy thoughts about how he should have taken it out.

You'll find that as you stop having a million expectations of him you'll enjoy your husband more. You may also notice that he starts doing things for you - without you ever having to nag. Some men may never really get up and do a whole lot. Blame his mother and stop nagging him. It will be much easier for you to ask for help with something you really need if you haven't been nagging him about a hundred other things all day.

Now they say that a key to a man's heart is through his stomach, and this is very true. Your man will stay happy if you keep him well fed. That means making food he likes. Don't leave him to "fend for himself" every night. It's easy to master basic casseroles and slow-cooker meals. As a bonus, most men love these meals. Learning to make burgers, baked chicken, and pan-fried steaks is also easy and again, many men love these things. If your man has special dietary needs or preferences, you should honor these. Cook what he can eat. Teach your children to enjoy and appreciate what he can eat. A man with a full stomach is truly a happy man.

Finally, keep your man happy in the bedroom. Get a few less headaches and be a little more willing to say "yes." A big hint is to focus on keeping him happy - if you do so you will find that your own pleasure increases and you'll have more fun, too!

These few simple tips will really help you keep your husband happy and more relaxed. He'll still have stress from work and other outside commitments to deal with, but you'll know that your home life is supportive and relaxing (most of the time). Your man will love you and cherish you in return.
