Satisfying husband’s emotional needs

Make him open up. Many men have the habit of avoiding talking about how they feel. This can take a toll on the relationship, as many important emotions will not be expressed. [1] X Research Resources If your husband is having a hard time opening up, you should try harder to find out how he feels and what he needs in the relationship.
- Let him know that you really want to know how he feels. You’ll find it more helpful to regularly take some time so you can both share how you’re feeling. [2] X Research Source
- Don’t judge how he feels, and don’t jump to conclusions based on what he tells you. You should create a space where he feels safe sharing his feelings with you, and to feel secure, he needs to know that you won’t be upset or critical of anything he says. [3] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/79/Care-for-Your-Husband-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for- Your-Husband-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/79/Care-for-Your-Husband-Step-2- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Care-for-Your-Husband-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Ask what your husband needs. Some people feel uncomfortable asking for something unless someone else brings it up. If you’re worried that you’re not meeting your partner’s emotional needs, talk to him about it and ask him what he really needs. [4] X Research Sources
- Determine if he needs change (for example, feeling stuck in a rut or feeling unsatisfied with some aspect of the relationship), empathy (needs to bond more, or need you to be more willing to see things from his point of view), or a greater degree of harmony (more intimacy, or spending more time together). These are 3 important keys in a successful and stable relationship. [5] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e1/Care-for-Your-Husband-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for- Your-Husband-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e1/Care-for-Your-Husband-Step-3- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Care-for-Your-Husband-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Communicate to him your needs. If you need a change, understanding, a greater degree of harmony, let him know and work together to solve the above problems. Married life will not last if only one of the two people makes efforts to satisfy the other’s needs. Real relationships only exist when both husband and wife work together to make each other happy and satisfied. [6] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/13/Care-for-Your-Husband-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Care-for- Your-Husband-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/13/Care-for-Your-Husband-Step-4- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Care-for-Your-Husband-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Attempts to meet the needs of the other party. Once you’ve determined what your partner needs to feel loved and satisfied, and you’ve communicated to him your wishes, it’s time to work on fulfilling his needs. Ask him to also make an effort in fulfilling your wishes. [7] X Research Sources
- If your husband needs a change, you should work with him to find a solution. Try to break the common rut. Let’s do something different together, like go on holiday or learn a new hobby.
- If he needs sympathy, you should spend a lot of time talking to him. Listen to how he feels and give him encouragement.
- If your husband needs more harmony between the two of you, you should pay more attention to his interests, and ask him to do the same with yours. Both of you should spend more time together and try to become more intimate.

Prioritize your opponent. In many successful marriages, often both husband and wife put each other’s needs first. This ensures that both of your wishes will be fulfilled, while still trying to make each other happy. Everyone becomes a winner if both efforts are equal. [8] X Research Sources

Listen to how he feels. If you’re worried about satisfying your partner’s emotional needs, it’s important to listen to his feelings. [9] X Research Source You should be open and honest when communicating with him, and listen when he talks about how he feels.
- Become an active listener. Take in what he’s saying instead of thinking about responding before he’s finished. Encourage him to continue expressing his feelings through eye contact, nodding, and questions. [10] X Research Source
- Avoid criticizing his feelings. Make him feel comfortable sharing his feelings without worrying that you’ll judge or reprimand him. [11] X Research Source
- Discuss any behavior by you or your partner that affects your marriage. You should start the conversation by asking if there’s anything you could have done differently, and then gently let him know if there’s something he could have done differently. . [12] X Research Source
- Take the initiative to address any issues he mentions and ask him to do the same. [13] X Research Source

Identify problems with communication. If you’re still having trouble telling him what your partner needs, it could be because you and him have different ways of communicating and aren’t able to capture your true feelings. If this is the problem, either or both of you need to adjust your communication to better suit the other person. [14] X Research Source
- Communicating clearly and directly means that you don’t hesitate to say what needs to be said. This method may seem too blunt to some, but many experts believe it is the best form of communication. Try telling the other person exactly how you feel without having to say no. [15] X Research Source
- Clear and indirect communication helps get the basic message across clearly, but doesn’t direct it to the right people. An example of this method of communication would be to say that a particular behavior upsets you, but not directly referring to the person performing the behavior. In this case, you or your guy need to be more forthright. [16] X Research Source
- Communicating implicitly and directly will get the message to the right people, but not being clear about what really needs to be conveyed. An example of this mode of communication is telling someone that their particular behavior may be annoying but is not directly directed towards the goal of communication related to that behavior. Of course, practicing frankness can help. [17] X Research Source
- Implicit and indirect communication often makes both the message conveyed and the object of criticism ambiguous. This is considered an unhelpful method of communication. If you or your partner is having this method, try to be more honest with your partner. Try writing down what you want to say as a way to help clear up your feelings before expressing yourself.

Learn to convey information clearly. You may notice some indirect or unhelpful tendencies in the way you or your guy communicates. Self-affirming communication is considered the ideal model for clear communication, because it is based on mutual respect: you will fight for your wishes, but will still listen to your ideas. opinions from others and agree to compromise. [19] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source To communicate clearly and decisively, try the following:
- Use sentences that begin with the subject “I”. [20] X Research Sources Instead of starting a sentence with the subject of the opponent, a sentence form that sounds accusing and puts the other person on the defensive, you should use sentences that begin with “I”. Therefore, instead of saying “You are wrong”, you should emphasize: “I do not agree”. Some other forms of “I” sentences such as: “I feel”, “I need”, “I want”.
- Talk about his behavior, not about him. [21] X Research Sources Instead of jokingly saying, “You look sloppy,” say, “Did you know your shirt has a mustard stain on the front?” That way you will avoid criticism and focus on the truth.
- Pay attention to tone and volume. How you talk is just as important as what you say. Do not scream, raise your voice or mumble. Speak firmly in a normal and moderate tone. [22] X Research Source
- Respond but do not respond. [23] X Research Sources If you notice that you or your husband are starting to get angry and defensive, stop arguing and stay calm. Once the anger has subsided, both parties will agree on a specific time to return to the issue, and make sure you stick to it and close the discussion to the end. Remember: being assertive is completely different from being aggressive.
- Practice in low-risk situations. [24] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to the Source If you’re afraid of asserting yourself or worried about larger conflicts that could erupt, try starting small (for example, if your partner If you say the vacuum cleaner is in the garage, you should say it outright that you know it’s in the closet). If you find it difficult to do so with him, find someone (like a friend or family member) with whom you feel comfortable opposing any idea.

Attempts to resolve conflicts, rather than “win” them. [25] X Research Source Trying to “win” an argument can lead to stubbornness, resentment, and hinder the ability to compromise. Know that “agree to disagree” is also a possibility and even an acceptable outcome.
- Clear requirements. Instead of making your partner say “no” in response to a request like “Do you mind if…?”, make the request explicit by asking, “Can I do this for you?” Are not?” The following sentence shows respect, and he can still refuse if he wants, but you don’t have to repeat the request.

Spend time appreciating each other. Every partner in a relationship makes a valuable contribution and makes a meaningful change to the other person’s life. Sometimes, after being with someone for a long time, one of them may feel that the other is emotionally indifferent or doesn’t value each other anymore. To prevent this from happening, make sure you show your appreciation to your partner. [27] X Research Source
- Tell your partner something reassuring, like “I really appreciate all the good things you do for me,” or “I’m so happy and grateful that you came into my life.” [28] X Research Sources

Make sure to always make time for each other. When you live with someone for a long time, it’s easy to feel like you don’t appreciate everything and take it for granted over time.
