Without making too many assumptions or buying into too many stereotypes, it is still safe to say that there are many wives out there who don't feel as loved as they desire and deserve. Perhaps they are actually lacking in love, but it is at least as likely that their spouses simply do a poor job of expressing love. If you want to make your wife feel loved, employ actions and attitudes that prove you know her, cherish her, prioritize her, and want to do whatever it takes to make her feel beautiful, valued, and heard.
Things You Should Know
- Surprise your wife with a thoughtful gesture you know she loves. You might buy her flowers, cook her dinner, or take her on a romantic date.
- Be supportive and really listen to her. Put away your phone, make eye contact, and let her vent, gossip, or simply talk.
- Compliment your wife to keep the romance and spark alive. Tell her that she’s beautiful, whether she’s wearing a new dress or sweatpants.

Licensed Marriage & Family TherapistCommunication is key but it's important to recognize that communication doesn't necessarily require talking. It's a good idea to have a discussion with your partner to find out how they like to express and receive love (this is related to the concept of “love languages”). This is valuable since you'll have a better idea of how to communicate and show her you care about her. Once you know how your wife experiences love, capitalize on that knowledge. It also helps if you get creative and think a little outside of the box. The element of surprise can go a long way.
