MATE - 5 Ways to Put Your Man Before Babies 

4/19/2013

0 Comments

 
We love our kids. Alot. Because of this, sometimes we have a phenomenon among women with children - women forget they're wives. When a woman forgets she's a wife she forgets there's a husband. If that goes on long enough it opens the proverbial door for trouble. 

Here are 5 ways to make sure you're putting your man before the babies. In fact, it's much the same way we nurture babies that we nurture our relationship with our man.
Picture
1) FUSS - We fuss over babies. We think they're adorable, clever, delightful just being in the world. Men like to have attention too. Point out the things that are adorable, clever and delightful about him. Tell him. Fuss over him.
2) LAUGH - men like to hear women laugh. Especially women they love. I don't know why but they do. Let yourself laugh with him.
3) FIRST - Babies make a fuss so we'll take care of them. Now. Often times, babies can be so demanding that your spouse thinks they ALWAYS come first. One day babies and children leave the nest. Your spouse should have a place of priority. Once a baby's fussy needs are met they become content. Give your man security by placing him in the number one position in your life and you'll work more as a team.
4) TIME - We put in the necessary time with babies. They're dependent on us and when we don't put in the time needs are neglected. Your man needs time. Your time. Time says he's important and worthwhile.
5) WATCHFUL - we are watchful of babies and their needs. We try to be aware when they're tired, hungry, or need some time to play. Same goes for nurturing a husband. Watch for signs of his basic needs being met. We aren't the ones who always have to meet the need but we can take notice and help him meet his own essentials.
These are such slight changes for most women but they can mean big changes in your spouse. Put your man before your babies, try it out.
