Who doesn’t crave adulation, after all? Men, in particular, are hardwired to seek out that explosive mixture of respect and admiration. Your husband will want to spend more time with you and do more for you if he knows how much you love him.
Here are 7 ways to show your hubby how much you care. Try to get him to love you as much as you love him and see what happens.
1. Adore him “as is.”
You shouldn’t put off loving him till he changes for the better. Loving your husband for who he is right now is the key. Adore and embrace him regardless of whether or not he meets your ideal of cuteness.
2. Adore him for what he accomplishes.
Your husband may be the love of your life, but he has no idea how much you value him unless you tell him. So be specific and tell him, “I can’t believe how well you manage your many obligations. What’s your secret? “You really are such a great dad, our kids just love you.” You did a fantastic job with the garage door repair. “I had no idea you could do that!”
3. Adore him as a lover.
No one else will love him the way you do if you don’t. You two have a special bond over this. Advise him well. You don’t have to wait till you’re in bed together to share a compliment: “I was thinking about last night and how great…” works just as well during breakfast or as a casual aside. The point is made.
4. Adore him by listening.
Pay attention the next time you’re around a married couple. Does she complete his thoughts for him? Does she ever cut him off in the middle of a story?

Does she give him orders one after another with no room for him to respond? Men have a different way of taking in information. They need more time to think things through and express themselves. When this occurs, individuals begin to speak more slowly and with more pauses. Show him how much you care by not cutting him off mid-sentence.
6. Adore him by not giving unsolicited advice.
Do your best to refrain from giving “mom-ish” advice when your spouse confides in you about difficulties he is facing in his professional or personal relationships. We mothers are a known bunch! Just to be helpful, we offer a solution right away. Your well-intentioned words of wisdom may come across to him as “she doesn’t think I can handle it.”
7. Adore him publicly.
A compliment spoken softly at home is worth nothing compared to one spoken loudly in public. So the next time you’re out with your husband with friends or family, or even while you’re in the hardware store together, let him hear you complimenting him to others. He will make extra efforts to merit your admiration.
