Marriage Advice For Men - Discover What Women Really Think
Unfortunately, as a man, you were probably raised to hide how you feel.
When you are looking for ways to better your marriage, or to save it from divorce, you are going to have to instill in you mind that this simply isn't true.
Your wife NEEDS you to show your emotions! One of the most horrible sayings I've heard is someone telling a little boy who got either physically hurt, or got his feelings hurt, is 'man up' or 'take it like a man'.
What in the world is this saying to that little boy? It is saying that, in order to be a man, you can't show how you really feel! That is outrageous! When you are married, you have got to let go of that stereotype, and be yourself with your wife - she is your WIFE - the one person in the world that you shouldn't be ashamed to show your true feelings toward! Hiding your emotions not only has a negative impact on you, but also your marriage.
While you are simply doing what society has drilled into your head since you were born, your wife was probably raised to show her emotions.
She just can't understand why you don't, and she misunderstands your reactions as not caring.
Most men I know that suffer from marital problems try to hide the fact that anything is wrong.
You cannot do this, if you want to save your marriage.
You have to learn how to open up to your wife.
It will be hard at first, but the more you do it, the easier it will be.
And your wife will start to see that you do, indeed, love her and want her in your life.
When you are worried about something, what feelings do you show? Many men show anger and frustration.
When women get worried about something, they show their feelings (most of the time).
Women don't understand how men think, so they think men don't care.
By taking that step to talk to your wife, even a little at first, you will open a door that will not only save your marriage, but will take it to a new level.
The two of you will form new bonds that no problems will be able to break.
All it takes is one step at a time.
