Is Your Husband’s Love For You Fading? Advice for Wives

The anticipation and freshness that once existed when you got married may appear to be losing color as time progresses and both of you become more familiar with each other. The old adage that familiarity breeds contempt makes itself painfully apparent as your marriage is buffeted by the cares of time and you witness alarmed that the feelings that your husband once had for you do not now have that quality or depth that you once knew earlier on in your marriage. You may be confronted, consequently, with the life-changing question of whether your husband does not love you any more- though there may be the possibility of his loving you to a lesser extent than before. However, we address here the situation where your husband does not have any feelings of love for you and we attempt to offer a solution to revert this scenario. The objective is to secure back for you the love your husband once had for you and even to exceed that.

If your husband appeared have lost his attraction for you after the birth of your children, then could be a case of his needs not being addressed, due to more attention being directed, on your part, towards your children. Marriage blues are rife with situations where women, after the birth of a child, assume the role of motherhood with such intensity that all else, including taking time out to address the needs of their husbands, take a back seat. If your husband has been subjected to such a scenario where he feels unneeded and neglected, then you should make it a point to initiate a correction in your behavioral pattern from now on. You should make it a point to take time out, maybe when your children are sleeping or otherwise busy playing or doing their homework, do spend time with your husband and you should do it daily and consistently. During these moments you should keep your mind focused on your husband and not get distracted by thoughts about your children or other things. Make an effort to communicate with your husband regarding things that are of interest to him and try to take an interest in them too. In this fashion, you can get closer to him and create the atmosphere where he can recover some of the love that he lost for you.

Constant arguments or squabbles can also alienate a man from his wife. Modern life is, at the best of times, stressful and the common scenario is where one’s spouse might fall an easy victim to the emotional outbursts that result consequent to such stress. If the two of you have been going hammer and tongs at each other lately, you need to remedy the situation if you are to get back your husband’s earlier love for you. If there is something that is just not right and the cause of constant bickering between your husband and you, make due effort to address that problem. That might mean that you have yielded some ground, but be assured that your compliance is well worth the effort. After all, what you are doing now is for the sake of your marriage. Therefore, you need, if necessary, to be flexible as any rigidity on your part, now, may take your marriage out of your hands and then there would be no use crying over spilt milk.

Small things, like compliments, acts of affection, caring, can go a long way towards repairing a tattered marriage. Moments of intimacy can act as a tonic for a fading marital existence. Not everything and enough can be said that can account for all the details that the wife need to keep in mind and practice in order to keep her husband with her. To some extent, she should use her feminine intuition, and to others trust her logical sense. If you notice that your husband seems distant, it is good sense to focus on the things that you used to do earlier and that you no longer do. Do not feel anxious and that the day is not far off when he will ask you for a divorce. Instead, think about the positive thoughts that you sense, think about why you do not do those things that you did earlier, think about the things that are interfering with your mutual intimacy. These thought waves that you experience will guide you through words creating for yourself a better atmosphere where you feel relaxed and positive- and your husband might notice it too. After all, if you are worried about your husband’s love fading, then it is only fair that you should be the one to make the effort to try to retrieve that lost love.
