I Need Some Successful Strategies to Make My Husband Love Me Again: Here’s Some Strategies That Actually Work

I often write about strengthening your marriage, returning a marriage to an intimate place, and preventing divorce.  Recently, I received an email from a woman who asked me if I would share with her “how to make my husband love me again.”  Well, this is somewhat of a loaded question, but I after chatting with her for a bit, I was able to determine that she really wanted a few different things:She wanted to restore intimacy and closeness in her marriage. She wanted to feel that her husband understood, cherished, and appreciated her. And, she wanted to feel desired, loved, and wanted by her husband again.

She confided that she had not felt these things coming from her husband in a long while and this contributed to distance and arguments. She said she felt that she and her husband were so far apart from one another that she was scared a divorce or separation was on the horizon. So, for her, and for everyone in the same situation, this article will discuss ways to encourage behavior that will contribute to your husband loving you again (although he probably loves you now, but the situation is keeping this from coming out – which I’ll discuss later).

First, I’d like for you to understand that it’s very likely that your husband does still love you. Although “falling out of love” is a phrase that is often used for a stale marriage, often what it really means is that he has “fallen out of love” with the state of the marriage. When a husband pulls away from you, emotionally checks out or detaches himself from the marriage, or gives you vague statements like “I’m just not happy,” “I just don’t feel close to you anymore,” “I just don’t feel like I used to,” etc., he is telling you the truth as he knows it.

But, men are not very good at accurately interpreting and then communing what they are feeling. Often times, what they are REALLY feeling and what they REALLY mean is that the relationship is no longer eliciting positive feeling about themselves – yes, themselves (That’s not a typo).

Think for a minute about when you first met your husband – back to when you were both trying to impress and grow closer to the other.  You both likely out your best foot forward and deeply cared about the experience each person had when you were together.You probably put a great deal of thought and effort into ways to make him feel and understand how much his well being and positive feelings mattered to you (and I’ll bet he did the same (as much as he was capable) for you). I’ll bet you both listened intently when the other talked.  And maybe left notes or gifts for one another. And probably initiated intimate and loving gestures and glances that left no doubt as to how you felt. 

]]>

The results were likely a strong relationship in which both partners felt wanted, desired, understood, attractive, interesting, and competent.  These are the things that make a man feel that he is on top of the world and contribute to his “falling in love.” So, understand that when he says (or you think) your husband doesn’t love you anymore – that’s often not right or inaccurate.  Often, he’s instead mourning the loss of the relationship that made him feel so very good about himself and he doesn’t know how to get that back.

So, knowing this, what can you do now?First, I need to describe how so many women react when they are trying to “make” their husbands love them again. Usually, one of two things are going to happen. In one scenario, the wife will go on the defensive.  In not so many words (and sometimes through her actions) she will be communicating something like: “what’s wrong with you?;” or  ”how could you do this to me?;” or “do you know how this makes me feel?;” or “is this how you treat your children’s mother?”  

In essence, she is trying to strong arm, guilt, or convince her husband that he is wrong and just needs to straighten up and fly right.  And, she could well be right. But, do you know what the husband is thinking and hearing?He’s hearing that his wife does not care enough to listen to what he is really saying. He thinks his wife is really saying his feelings don’t matter or his concerns aren’t valid. And, as a result, he’s going to distance himself (and close himself off from you) that much more.

The other extreme to this behavior is a wife who will try to “prove” to her husband that he should still love her or she will try to overcompensate. She’ll become a “yes” woman – bowing to her husband’s every whim and acting in such a compromising way that she may secretly resent the fact that she thinks she’s doing all of the work and making all of the concessions. She will think that if she “shows” him just how nice she is and how much she loves him, he will come to his senses. But, this tactic is flawed too.  Because your husband will know that you’re playing games and he will not respect your willingness to compromise your own wants, feelings, and needs.  How attractive is someone who is not genuine or true to themselves? Not very.

So what is the best way to approach this? First, you lay it out on the table.  You tell your husband that you are feeling a distance in your marriage and you miss the closeness and intimacy that you both once enjoyed.  Ask him directly if he would be receptive to improving your marriage.  Many men will balk at this because all they are hearing is the word “work.” That’s perfectly OK.  All you’re trying to do here is to communicate to your husband that you personally would like to make some positive changes.

And, you are going to show them, (with your actions) that you’re not really talking about work.  You’re talking about changes that he is probably going to like.The bottom line is this.  Define what you are missing in your relationship. If you want more affection from your husband, show more GENUINE affection to him (no game playing here or putting on a show.)If you want more appreciation, let him know you appreciate him.

Now, you may be reading this and thinking that you are the one who’s going to be making all of the changes and doing all of the work.  But, understand that you’re likely going to be rewarded for your efforts ten fold.Because if you can restore the positive feelings that your relationship once elicited in your husband about himself, he is going to return all of the love you feel you are missing. A wife who can make her husband feel respected, understood, and desirable is probably going to be a wife who gets all of these things back.

At this point, many wives will tell me that they are receptive to these techniques, but they think the marriage is too far gone to try them. I often hear things like “my husband won’t even notice,” or “my husband is just going to look at me funny,” or “my husband won’t even let me near him.” Well, that might be true at first, but you can’t give up.  If you are genuinely and convincingly giving him what you know he ultimately wants, I suspect that in time he will return the favor.

How did I learn this? Through making a lot of mistakes (which almost cost me my marriage) when I was trying to make my own husband fall back in love with me. Eventually, I was able to restore my husband’s love and not only save the marriage, but make it stronger. You can read my very personal story on my blog at http://isavedmymarriage.com

Is My Husband In Love With His Mistress?

Is My Husband In Love With His Mistress?

It’s interesting that a lot of the women who write to me are more worried about their husband’s emotional feelings about the woman with whom he’s cheating (we’ll call her “the mistress” in this article) than they are about how he feels about her physically.  Many tell me things like “I can deal with him being unfaithful, but I can not deal with him actually loving her.”  I understand this.  Society is often more accepting of men straying because of physical reasons, but most feel that the emotional bond and closeness should be reserved for his wife.

The problem is that often when a man cheats he isn’t at all thinking logically and he’s often searching for something that he had all along. However, often he can often only see this much later, once the dust has settled and once it’s obvious that he was incredibly wrong about countless things. Until that time comes though, he’ll often mistake the excitement, the pay off, and the “newness” for love.  But, he almost always turns out to be wrong and he almost always realizes this eventually.  I’ll talk about this more in the following article.

His Cheating Is Often Not Because He Doesn’t Love You Or Because He Loves The Mistress.  It’s Because He Doesn’t Love Himself: Remember when I said an affair is often searching for something that a man had all along?  Well, that’s often because something in his life happens that significantly affects his self esteem and how he is able to navigate the world.  Some will call this a mid life crises – and it does commonly happen to older men.  But, even young man can have an identity crises, be under stress, or begin to become bored with themselves and their lives.  They are trying to make themselves feel better about their attractiveness, their sexual prowess, and their ability to present themselves in a powerful way. I’m not saying that this isn’t ridiculous, I’m just sharing their thought process with you.

So, often the mistress has very little to do with how he feels about you and even sometimes with how he feels about her.  It’s all about how he feels about himself and what is lacking within him.  Mistresses can often sniff this out from a mile away.  And, she’ll present herself as a diversion that comes with no strings attached.  She’ll want him to think that she’s just all about fun, that she won’t nag him or worry about picking up his dirty underwear.  She doesn’t know or doesn’t care that he clips his disgusting nose and ear hairs.  She hasn’t seem him at his worst.  So, it’s all good – at least for a while.  She’s basically all the fun without any of the work or the commitment.  She makes the time for him without worrying about household chores, children, or aging parents.

In his mind, she gives him the time and attention that you used to before you had to be a responsible adult.  No, this is not at all fair, but it’s the reality as it is. And, knowing it will help you to realize that this must eventually come to an end.  Because no one can keep playing this unrealistic game.  Very few mistresses are never going to want nothing more.  Most are biding their time and waiting to swoop in and make demands eventually.  They’ll painting the pretty picture in the beginning waiting until the time is right to start to gradually make more demands for time and for commitments.  Eventually, she too will begin to be exposed to the flaws and some responsibilities and she’ll begin to lose her appeal. And, she can’t even begin to touch you in terms of history and shared experiences.

But, until this happens, she appears to be the answer to many of his problems.  Men will often tell me that it’s not so much about sex with her as many people think.  It’s because she listens, because she’s fun, because she appreciates him, and because she gives him the time and attention that you’re too distracted to offer.  (Again, I know this isn’t fair, but I’m passing the message along because you deserve to hear it.)

Where Does All Of This Leave You?: Many women will tell me, “I know that what you’re saying is true, but where does that leave me? Am I just suppose to wait around until he gets tired of this woman?”  No, you should not.  It’s absolutely not acceptable that he’s allowed to have both of you.  I believe that you should make very clear to your husband that you will not play second fiddle to anyone and it’s extremely demeaning and insulting to even be asked to.

If you’re even going to entertain saving your marriage, then it must be a marriage of two, not three.  He may well think that he loves this woman and doesn’t want to give her up.  There’s not a lot that you can do about this but bide your time, present yourself as the classy, self respecting person you are, and focus on your own happiness.  Tell him that perhaps you’ll talk when he’s completely banished her from his life, but until then, you must focus on yourself.  When and if he comes to his senses, then and only then will you talk.

The truth is, statistically speaking, they are doomed.  Most mistresses never make it down the aisle with the man she cheated with. And of those that do, they are almost 75% likely to end this with a divorce.  It’s just not a good set up, and eventually he will likely realize this.  And, you’ll be smelling like a rose because you handled this in way that respected yourself.  You checked out until he came to his senses and knew that you would then reevaluate what is right for YOU and your marriage, not for him or for her.

I know that worrying about this silly woman or mistress is extremely painful and difficult, but make sure that you don’t give her more power than she deserves. And, healing is often closer than you may think. It took a lot of work and patience, but today my marriage is actually stronger than it ever was before. I also did a lot of work on myself and am happier as the result. Our bond and intimacy is much stronger and my self esteem is at an all time high. I know longer worry my husband will cheat again.

Intimacy Problems – How to Deal With Lack of Intimacy During Marriage

By Mia Carmel West

In a marriage, intimacy is an important part in the expression of love
between married couples. Without it, marriage suffers because the couple will find it much more difficult to effectively show how much they really love their partner.

However, throughout the course of marriage,
intimacy loses its efficacy and frequency for different reasons, leading couples to feel alone and distraught. Worse, they can end up divorced and separated.

Intimacy has become mostly associated with the physical and sexual
, but intimacy also comes in different forms such as emotional and mental. What makes intimacy in all forms effective is how it is regularly performed by married couples.

Every time they converse and talk about what they really feel, share the same opinions, or have physical contact adds to their closeness and intimacy that got them married in the first place. When moments of intimacy in marriage do not occur as often as possible, it is normal for married couples to feel estranged, so it is highly important to become intimate on a regular basis to avoid any complications in your relationship.

However, when the damage has been done
and intimacy has slowly but surely been washed away, it is time for you to evaluate some of things that have led to this instance in your life, as well as to explore the best possible actions you can take starting from here. It is best that both of you sit through the questions and answer them as honestly as possible so you can really know how you feel towards each other.

Below are some of the more important questions that you have to ask yourself in relation to the lack of your marital intimacy:

  • How often have you been getting intimacy with your partner? Do you think lowly or highly of the moments you’ve been intimate? If you’ve rated low, how do you think both of you could improve your intimacy?
  • Are you comfortable with your spouse? Is your partner comfortable with you? Do you think the comfort you feel towards each other has contributed to a low level of intimacy?
  • Do both of you find each other sexy in their own way? What parts of the body do you find sexy with your partner? Taking the physical aspect out, do you still find your partner sexy?
  • Do you really love your partner? How much and in what ways do you express and profess your love towards your spouse?
  • Does your intimacy with each other changes when either of you talk or stay silent during a period of time?

Ways You Can Add Spice To An Intimate Relationship or Marriage

Enduring love relationships or marriages need some attention, care and love on a consistent basis so that they can stay revitalized, growing, and strong. If you believe that intimate and marriage relationships can stay alive if you do not feed them, you’re wrong. In order to keep the love you have from dying, you’ve got to give time to developing and growing that love, in whatever way it fits for your relationship.

One feature of lasting love relationships and marriages that sometimes vanishes after so many years of being together is attraction physically. Some couples begin to feel that their love making has grown tired and unexciting. They also could notice they are so involved with kids, other responsibilities or careers that they simply don’t have time or energy for closeness with one another. Couples permit their physical relationship to be ignored and permit different activities to get in the way of truly being together.

Rejuvenating your love relationship or marriage begins with creating a heart connection between the two of you, and that can be done in several different ways. It takes devotion to establishing this sort of connection and a willingness to let what’s happened in the past remain just where it should be, in the past.

This requires being truly honest about what things you are feeling, and will mean a clean slate in making love with each other. In order to revive love and passion, it may be a benefit to you to do activities that both of you used to enjoy together but don’t do anymore. It also could mean starting something new with each other that would help you build that feeling of companionship and togetherness like you once felt.

Intimacy in long-term love and marriage relationships needn’t disappear. There are a couple of really simple things you as a couple can do right now to revive love and romance that was once between you. One way is to make it a point to find a couple of minutes to get together and really talk about what things you each need to have more of in your marriage or relationship.

The challenge is to remain candid and honest without pointing a critical finger at your partner. Would you simply like to go out without the kids each week? Would you like to have dinner together one day of the week? Would you like your partner to be more affectionate? If that’s the case, what does affection mean to you?

Creating deeper love and more excitement in your love or marriage relationship is possible, and it’s a lot easier than you may think. Make the decision right now that you want and need a more satisfying relationship. Start today to let more love and passion in your relationship and see for yourself how it begins to change, and for the better. Begin now to create what you want for your life experience.

Relationship Problems – How To Keep The Flames Burning In A Relationship

It is true that intimacy and relationship are two very different words. They have different meanings and present totally different concepts. The tie that binds them to each other, however, is the fact that a relationship needs intimacy to survive. Intimacy is the substance which enables the people involved in a relationship to enjoy each other all the more.

Intimacy is defined as the condition of being private or personal. This encompasses everything that involves close association or familiarity. Two people are intimate when they are able to share with each other the innermost and most essential parts of themselves without any kind of inhibition. It is only through creating intimacy that two people are able to know each other through and through.

The inability of people involved in relationships to create intimacy results to the creation of distance. This is the reason why creating intimacy is important even from the start. How to create intimacy is something that each and every person involved in a relationship should know how to do, for creating intimacy is the foundation that would forge the connection between two people n a relationship more strongly than ever.

Creating intimacy involves consistent attention for one another and the relationship itself. It also involves respect for each another and the relationship in particular. Regular, healthy verbal communication is always an important factor in establishing openness, and physical contact is as essential in creating intimacy and closeness as other factors.

Creating intimacy also involves regular expression of caring and tenderness so that each one in the relationship may know how important he or she is to the other. And because the expression of feelings is equally telling, it becomes one of the most important things that would create intimacy and bind people in a relationship together.

Because creating intimacy means creating familiarity and openness, it is a must for people involved in a relationship to become honest and straightforward with each other. Saying and doing what is truthful and honest for both of them would help a lot, and acceptance of each other’s personality and characteristics would foster an understanding between the two of them like no other.

To create intimacy, people in a relationship should also have an understanding of how their families of origin would affect the relationship itself. This is essential, too, in understanding the behavior of each other in connection with the atmosphere he or she grew up in. Then again, it is important for partners to take time to listen to what each other thinks and feels. Living in the present and envisioning a life together in the future would create chemistry that they could both use to become not as separate individuals but as a team ready to battle all odds together.

Lastly, it is always important for people concerned about creating intimacy to promote the personal growth of one another. It should always be remembered that those involved in relationships are there to complement each other in every way. The relationship is the medium which enables people to learn this simple truth. Creating intimacy means sharing one’s own person with his or her partner the best possible way.

People’s inability to create intimacy in any kind of relationship creates distance, the worm capable of eating the union slowly away. It is always important for those involved in relationships to try their best efforts to create intimacy, because it is what would keep the flame burning for quite a while.
