what are some tips for better relationship between man and wife?

Question

For better relationship between husband and wife? What to do?

Answer 1

Listen to each other. Not just the words, but the meaning.

Answer 2

A husband and wife need to be good communicators, this also includes praying together,
A husband and wife need to confine sexual interest to only their mate, and no one else.
A married couple can find success in their relationship if they apply Bible principles concerning the role of each member of the family. Husbands, even though they are the head of the family, they are not to be domineering, or abusive. But patient, loving, and kind to their wives, and kids if any.
Wives are the helper, and compliment of their husbands. Wives need to be forgiving, loving, understanding, and submissive to their husbands. Wives can also help support the family by working outside of the home if needed.
Many women don't like to be told to be submissive, for they feel that this is belittling. But it is not. This is a command from God. Men are responsible to treat their wives with dignity, and take the lead in a honorable manner. They answer to God for their treatment of their family's. They have a heavy burden, to make decisions, and they have to support their family, mentally, materially, spiritually, and physically. There are alot of things these men have to do. If wives give them a harder time, then this only makes the problems worse.
Thus the original family arrangement becomes chaotic.
Have you ever heard of the saying, "There are to many Chiefs, and not enough Indians?" This expression also shows why many marriages end in divorce today. Both members of the marriage want to run things, thus there is no compromising.
Here are a few scriptures to back up some of what Ive brought out.
1 Corinthians 11:3, Ephesians 5:25-33, 1 Corinthians 7:2-5,
Hebrews 13:4, Colossians 3:15 I hope Ive helped somewhat to answer your question. For these scriptures have helped me, and my husband to have a better married life, for 17 years.

Answer 3

Alex, the key to any relationship is good communication. Neither party is a mind reader. So if you have a problem with your partner, tell her and be specific. Then listen to what she says in reply. Also, when she tells you she has a problem, listen carefully, really listen. Don't sit there thinking of what you are going to say in return, listen. The very fact she thinks it is important enough to tell you means it is important to her. And you want to honor what she considers important. And she should be equally willing to honor what you think important. So communicate. And lots and lots of hugs and kisses. Lots of touching and nice words too. And support each other. Honor her and she will honor you. Have a perspective. Most things that come up in a marriage aren't really worth getting angry over. So when you are tempted to get angry, ask yourself whether the issue is something that will really change your lives together. If it won't, then you can talk about it without anger.

Answer 4

Forget the small stuff that does not matter. Discuss calmly things that are bothering you and have your spouse do the same. My husband and I talk about things that might escalate or upset in a quiet restaurant. That way no one gets carried away and things get sorted out. Speak softly, be reasonable. Affection on a daily basis is important. A hug or a well done, a kiss a squeeze of the hand. Ask. suggest. Be secure in yourself and then you will not worry about your spouse.

Answer 5

Talk, Talk, Talk, always agree with your wife unless it is something stupid like William Shatner is a good actor.

But really in any relationship communication is key.
Stop begging for sex!
Help with the house chores not just the outside!
Be open to your wife's feeling's
Listen without speaking unless they ask for a response.

Answer 6

wow, I feel ya on this one. You know what is nice for my marriage? A date. It's hard to do, with work and kids, etc. But work and kids are what puts us in the place to be asking this question in the first place. We get lost in life and our responsibilities that everything gets put before eachother. Get a babysitter, go out! Go dancing to a place that plays music from your wilder days. Have some drinks, and just let loose.

Instead of pressuring her for sex whenever the kids drift off to sleep, when she is probably very tired, suggest something else. Tell her you would like to watch a movie and cuddle or something. You know what, this gets me everytime. My husband will start to give me a massage. When I am so tired that I am sure I could not move to save my life... he starts massaging me and the next thing I know I am riding 5 towns over! haha

The thing that bothers us wives, is the loss of any sort of control over us. We get so wrapped up in taking care of things, that we forget to take care of ourselves. Ultimatley we become resentful. Try to tap into understanding that with her. Don't make her feel like you are a creepy pervert, trying to cop a feel everytime she turns around, ya know what I mean???

If you truly love her, keep fighting. It will work out.

Answer 7

1. Tell each other what you want your relationship to be like.
2. Tell each other what you need to make your relationship
the way you want it to be (answer to #1) -Be very
specific - IE. more talk time, intimacy at least 3 times a
week, take out the trash, etc.
3. IMMEDIATELY, start doing what your spouse said they
need. (Delays will feel like a lack of enthusiasm, which
will hurt.)
4. Enjoy and repeat often.

Answer 8

well, communication is the key. talk to each other, even if it about the littlest things, like a squirrel you saw in the park, your words will give your partner an insight into what you feel and think.

also, be a good listener. partners get offended and hurt when they open up to each other, only to find that nobody is listening. as paradoxical as this sounds, try to find something to be interested about in what your partner is saying, even if it is absolutely boring to you.

display your love in little ways. do small things for each other, like making you partner his/her fave drink, or hold the door open for each other sometimes. these little gestures show that you care.

lastly, a bit of repsect and romance never hurt. treat your partner as you would yourself. if your partner gives you an opinion, consider it seriously, and let him/her know what you think in turn. if he/she talks to you about a problem, no matter how small or petty, do not belittle him/her. instead, try to show him/her how to work it out. be positive.

in romancing your partner, prepare a special dinner for him/her one day. make sure that only the two of you are there to enjoy it...no children, parents or pets.
give him/her a massage at the end of a long day without expecting sex in return.

Answer 9

Defintiely communicate...physically, emotionally, etc. Also, you should try to keep up the playtime. Do things you wouldn't nomally do, and especially something that makes both of you look really dumb, like bowling. Not only will it make you laugh, and appreciate each other's good company, it will create memories that will last forever. My guy and I have been together for 7 years and we laugh all the time.

Answer 10

Do you remember when you first met? Treat each and every day as if it were the first day you met and your love will do nothing but grow. I learned this from my mother and father. I never once failed to see them kiss before parting for the day and again when they met after work. I watched my father doing little things like drying the dishes, wipeing up mud he had tracked in, things that most men wouldn't think about.
I also watched my mother doing little things too. She would take my father a glass of sweet tea when he was mowing the yard, she would prepare his clothes for him for the next day before bed, etc... I always heard them saying " I love you" before they went to sleep, Every time they saw each other they would kiss, even if they had just seen each other five minutes before. I was with my mother and father in the hospital when she was dieing of cancer and heard them tell each other "I love you" as she slipped into the next life.
I tried to be the same as they were in my marriage and was blessed with 20 yrs of marriage. Never once did my parents have an argument and my wife and I were the same way. I was able to be with her as she slipped into the next life eight years ago and like my father, I was able to tell her I loved her.

Answer 11

Be able to communicate like a team .
As married people , your family is sort of your mission . . .
And conversation about work ( how you financially support it ) , recreation, plans for kids , & all that is related to being a family , should be a part of your everyday life .
Talk to each other in calm , respectful manner that deals with all your issues.

The more you communicate , the stronger your team will be.
