What are the best ways to strengthen your bond with your husband?

Question

Especially after children are part of your life.

Answer 1

Make sure he knows every day how much you love him.  Make sure you have time for him after the kids are in bed.  Don't go in there tired and un-interested.  Keep the line of communication open with him at all times.  During the day, send him text messages of your love, how much you miss him, how s**y he looked in the bathroom with just a towel wrapped around him or with soap suds on him.  Keep him smiling.

Answer 2

After you have children, you are constantly having to share your time.  This often leaves you feeling stretched to the limit and many times the husband feels left out.  I feel the best way to keep the bond strong is both mentally and physically.  Be certain to find things to talk to him about.  Not just about the children and the things at home, but about his job, how his day was, etc.  Make a point of going to bed when he does and this can be a good time to talk with no interruptions.  Showing him love in and out of the bedroom is important also.  That unexpected hug and kiss and I Love You when he doesn't expect it is nice.  Communication is key in a marriage.  When you guys sit down to watch TV, lean back against him, or just put your legs across his lap..in other words, make contact with him, letting him know you enjoy being near him.  Keep the romance in your marriage.  If you can manage it, take one day to spend together without the children.  If it's once a week, great, if not, whenever you can manage.  My husband and I have designated Saturdays as "our day" and unless it's an emergency, we plan nothing unless it's together.  We have found we both look forward to Saturday.  You'll find these small things you do with him will keep you feeling close to each other.  This is a very good question and something every woman should strive to do.

Answer 3

SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO SHUT THE h**l UP AND GIVE HIM SOME SPACE OR ALONE TIME.

Answer 4

If I can tell you one thing...find time for just the two of you. Even if you have to get a cheap motel for a night, with a bottle of cheap wine and some P&J sandwiches once a year. If you can go on a vacation or a trip great but if you can't afford it find it somewhere else. Your husband very quickly becomes someone in the outfield when moms are taking care of their children. Moms forget that husbands need attention (s*x) and appreciation too. You may feel like you are taking time from your children but investing time into building a strong marriage is in their best interest. You will be surprised how invigorated you two will feel about parenting coming back from time alone. Best of luck to you!

Answer 7

Communication is the key.

Answer 8

Reaffirm daily, "I love you". Kiss hello and goodbye daily. Touch daily. Daily let each other know that 'You are my best friend'. Never take

'thank yous' for granted..be liberal with them. Praise is one of the strongest forms of saying, I love you. Be public with your praise of one another.

Answer 9

Make time for each other.  Make love often.

Answer 10

I get married in 12 days but what I have learned from our 3 years together is..

Never take a moment together for granted,laugh often. Learn to forgive and don't get angered easily

Make QUALITY time for each other. Kiss alot but make sure when you kiss is doesn't always lead to the bedroom. Support him in his dreams and love the things that he loves.

Answer 11

s*x - very important to them

Listen to him.

Cook his favorite foods.

Answer 12

Well, I can tell you as a husband what I would like from my wife but do not get if it will gives you any insight....I want her to turn off the TV and instead invest in our relationship (talk). I want to feel like she values me (Love/respect). I want to feel like she desires me (s*x). I want to feel like she admires me (how hard I work for her and the kids). I want to be her HERO, but it's hard when I work so hard at work, work so hard at home (house, cars, kids), and work so hard on the relationship ( I get her flowers, I make her lunch, I tell her she is pretty), and I'm left with her watching TV or shows online on the computer, her sleeping in on the weekends while I take care of the kids and house, and a choice between either s*x once a month where she actually engages me or s*x four times a month where three out of four times she just lies there like a dead fish! Hope this helps in SOME way....
