Have Lots of Sex:

Most women know that most men love sex. What many women don’t realize, though, is that men love sex with their wives because it brings about an unsurpassed sense of emotional closeness with them.

Happily married women know that sexuality can be integrated into each day by gestures as simple as hugging or holding hands.  They can enjoy playful encounters out in the park or in the shower.  When you begin to integrate intimacy and eroticism into your marital interaction, you can show your husband how to increase his sensitivity to your emotional sexual needs.  A little while of doing this, and both of you will be eagerly looking forward to spending more time in bed together!

Take Charge of Your Own Happiness:

Being happy as a wife looks a lot different than being happy as a single gal.  Both you and your husband need to put the happiness of the marriage before individual happiness, but he may need you to lead the way. Women’s inborn ability to “take the temperature” of a relationship allows them to have a clearer sense of what ingredients will lead to happiness for the couple.  You won’t generate good feelings through waiting around--or worse, complaining-- to get what you want.  You must set the tone for a partnership of sharing and loving; that leads to a sense of fulfillment in everyone.

Heal Thyself:

It’s true, but not very romantic, to say that your husband won’t fulfill all your emotional and physical needs. Some women push for perfection in all aspects of their lives from sun up to sun down. But sometimes the more you try to have it all, the less you have in the end.  Women who are happy have four attributes: they are surrounded by friends, they are physically active, they are involved in life, and they are open to spirituality.  You may feel that you’re hardly able to do the bare necessities before you collapse by the end of the day, but if you find time to prioritize taking care of yourself, you can take care of others better, and be happier in the process.

Happy Wife, Happy Life!

Weddings are full of laughter and hope.  Marriages can also provide a source of enrichment and joy, but it requires using all of your womanly identity to create, and maintain, a special union.  When you follow the secrets of women who get to know and nurture their husbands’ nature, learn communication and conflict skills, and take care of themselves, you’re well on the way to happily ever after.
