How to Show Him You Appreciate Him
By Jasmine Jones
Your man has worked hard and showed you his love and affection, now its time to determine how to keep your man happy and show him just how much you appreciate him. Men are tuned to certain visual and auditory stimulation, bringing about feelings of romance, being appreciated and love. While what works for women may not always work for the opposite sex, this brings about a need to delve into the male psyche.
Be Sensual
Movements such as stroking your hair slowly or licking your lips seem to bring about a feeling of longing in many men. A few sensual things you can try to let your man know you are only thinking of him include softly touching his arm when you are speaking, while maintaining eye-contact. This lets him know that you are interested in what he has to say and value him both as a human and a lover.
Try emitting a small, soft laugh when he makes a joke or recants a funny story he heard at work. The femininity of your laugh can send goosebumps cropping up all over his body.
My personal favorite is to admire him, everything about him; take in everything , from the color of his hair to little lines around his mouth and the look of his eyes. Let your gaze linger on every part of his frame and you will be surprised how fast the sparks between you and him start flying.
Praise, Praise, Praise
Men love praise, they love to be recognized for the most mundane tasks which gives them purpose and a sense of accomplishment. When your man does something as mundane as taking out the garbage, be ready and waiting to give him a kiss and tell him how happy you are to have him in your life.
At first, your man may be taken aback, but before long he will have a more positive outlook and feel completely appreciated.
Want to amp up the praise without seeming like you are overdoing it? When your friends ask how your other half is doing, make it a point to brag about something he has done and how proud and lucky you are to have him. Make sure this is within his earshot, and watch his ego soar.
Pamper Him
Women are notorious for unwinding with bubble baths, candles, a good book or an old movie, but what about men? Sure, some men like these things but a majority of manly men will scoff at these pampering techniques. To pamper a man whom you appreciate and love, romance your man with something he likes such as sports, time with friends or a night out just the two of you.
Relaxing with the people he cares for the most is the ideal way to pamper and care for him. So when you think about it, learning how to keep your man happy is not as hard as you may think.
For example, give him a foot rub with warming massage oils. Using your thumb, rub the sole of his foot and his heel using circular motions. Work your way up towards his toes, applying light pressure.
Another great pampering technique that your man may appreciate is to keep his favorite foods and beverages stocked and easily accessible for anytime the cravings hit.
For a more romantic approach, I like the idea of drawing a warm bath with Epsom salts. Allow your man to soak and then lather up a wash cloth and bathe him. Pay extra attention to his shoulders and other areas of tension.
Let Him Have “Me” Time
Romancing your man does not have to mean that you are constantly in the same room. Men love women who trust them. Trust is a bond that strengthens relationships and shows security. Allow him to have time with his friends without complaint.
Just as women need time with close friends, so do men. It allows him time to bond and relays the message that you love and respect his social life apart from you and home. This allows you to romance your man by creating a need to spend time with each other later and the desire to be more intimate when he’s home.
Bedroom Escapades
Men are sexually driven, its a scientific fact that many women see as a turn on in relationships. By being playful and constantly flirting, you can help create a sexual experience that shows your fun loving side and your appreciation for his masculinity. Don’t be shy, just go with it.
Take charge and lead him to the bedroom, while whispering sweet nothings he would completely appreciate. Don’t forget to don that little number that had him drooling in the store.
Introducing little games can also enhance this time and show him you have put much thought into his happiness. My personal favorite; love dice. Love dice prompt you to do certain love acts depending on the how the dice land.
By catering to all aspects of your man, from emotional, physical to mental well-being, you can show him you appreciate him daily and reinforce the bonds that hold your relationship together.
