Say "yes dear." A lot.
Seriously, find a way to keep the spark. Tell her she's beautiful even when she's just woken up or she's all bloated and on her period. Bring flowers just because. Listen to her. Help her around the house. Don't disrespect her.

The most essential thing a wife could ever want is for their husband to be engaged in all aspect of the relationship. Money, love, intimacy, friends, kids, family, communication, etc...if you are not engaged and playing an active role in all of these things, you will never have a happy and fulfilled wife. There will be times when you slip up and are not at 100%, which no one ever is, but as long as you are in the game and not zoned out, you will have a very happy, content and loving wife.

After 12 years the essential thing for me is making sure I still act like we are dating. What I mean by that is, when people first start dating, they make sure the pay attention to themselves and their beau. Little things like flowers for no reason, poems, dates etc. Basically we take care of the married things, but we still chase each other in the park, being just as goofy as we want to be. Ultimately for me its about keeping the fun of "courtship" in the marriage

Be very honest, and very romantic. Not to forget and to appreciate what is most important to her. To do the little things which actually makes the biggest impact to a woman. The big things are always good, but the littlest things, like a little note before you leave for work or to sneak a note into her purse works. Little getaways which emphasize her. Makng her feel as she is the only one who exists in your world. Letting her know you feel like you are the luckiest guy in the world. Romance is spelled like this
R = Randomness/Relentless Love
O = Out of this world love/Sex
M = Marital Bliss
A = Appreciation/Attention/Adventure
N = Newness in relationship
C = Cuddling/Caring
E = Excitement/Evolving
Practice that always your marriage will succeed!
good luck

As a real married man I know full well that there is NOTHING that can keep a wife happy for long.
If she's happy today, tomorrow there will be something to make her unhappy.
It has to do with a woman's unique ability to totally underappreciate where they are in life and then add more to the list, like the you should be ( fill in the blank) or doing ( fill in the blank again).
It also has to do with needing to be reminded to "count your blessings" because your life ain't so bad , really.
I'm sure this will get a lot of thumbs down from women but a number of thumbs up from guys.

We've been happily married 36 years, and I guarantee you, some of the key elements of a successful relationship - married or otherwise - are:
1) A long list of common interests; things you both enjoy doing TOGETHER as opposed to separate interests and separate groups of friends.
2) A lot of tolerance for each other's differences. As much as you share in common, you're still going to rub one another wrong from time to time. Be mature and deal with it. Separate the small $h!t from the serious stuff.
3) A sense of compromise; so that you can work out your problems with a minimum of emotional trauma. It's marital negotiation.
4) A sense of sympathy and forgiveness. You're both going to screw up on occasion. You need to be able to forgive, forget, and move on with the relationship.

I would say communication is the key. Talk about how each other feelings and wants. Talk through issues and problems. Share times and also have each other owns free time. Keep an open mind. Realy get to know your partner. Know how he or she is feeling and know when to give space or a hug. Earn those little brownie points by being thoughtful and caring and of coarse listening. Grow together.

what is vital for any relationship you have you realize that keeping a women happy is the easiest thing in the world we
all know what we have to do to keep them happy its somewhere inside of you a little voice that says do this dont do this.talk to her all the time when shes not looking at you look at her and wait for her to notice your staring at her it will remind her how beautiful you think she is.bring her gifts and not gifts because its your anniversary, her birthday, or valentines day and im not saying not to give gift on those times forget at your own risk. make it a point to remind her of your first kiss or the first time you met her tell her what she was wearing how she looked what you where thinking.
Make her happieness your only drive in life, i know it sounds like a lot of work but its really not if you love her.Argue with her about who loves who more.
Play with your kids a lot spend time with them and if you dont have kids talk to her about maybe having kids or adopting wemon love someone who is a good father. dont lie to her and if you do tell her immediatly. dont keep her in the dark about stuff like finances or work and if she weres the pants in the family dont get jeolous because she makes more.
do the dishes every once in a while if she comes home late have dinner waiting and hot bubble bath ready.
give her messages even when you feel tired as hell .
pay attention to her its not hard to pick up on signal that tell you how shes feeling wemon wear there emotions on there shoulder whether they realize it or not.
they can be read youll know when shes happy and when shes not
youll know what to do just pay attention.
never ever under any circumstance raise your voice at her or your children and never get mad at her it doesnt matter what no matter what she does you love her right love is unconditional she can do no wrong if you really love her.

Communication!!! Talk to each other about your problems and daily events. Do things together and develop interests that you both like. If your mate is not your best friend, you are going to struggle. Marriage can be great or it can be the worst thing that ever happened to you. You both have to continue to work with each other to make it last, it's not a one sided affair.

1. Recognize that you just lost the freedom of speech. Don't always speak your mind/opinion whenever. Instead, learn how to determine when it is best to speak and better to just shut up.
2. Do everything in your power to agree with her and say yes to everything that you possibly can in terms of purchases, services, friendships, social outings, etc.
3. Surprise her occasionally with something just to let her know you think of her and appreicate her. Nothing big, just be thoughtful.
4. Cook her food and introduce her to new things, places, people.
5. Listen to her when she is annoyed/frustrated/happy/sad whatever and just listen. Dont make suggestions or try to tell her what she is doing wrong or right or whatever. Just agree with her.
6. Don't ever continue an argument or disagreement in order to "win" the argument. You will never "win" because your wife bases her point on illogical conclusions, nonsense and irrelevant accusations primarily used to promote feelings of guilt, depression and most importantly make you surrender.
But most importantly: DONT EVER EXPECT HER TO DO ANY OF THE ABOVE FOR YOU EVER. IF YOU DO, SHE WILL JUST TELL YOU TO "BE A MAN".
