Tips for improving your husband wife relationship to friendship
1. Be her best career guide
Help your better half achieve her dreams. Sounds very simple, though, most of the working partners do not commit enough time to help their other halves. Encouraging her to pursue her professional goals is important and can help you both become closer. Helping your spouse in her dreams will build a strong bond of trust and dependability between both of you.
2. Be Transparent
Do not hide anything from your partner – Being honest with your wife is essential. She will appreciate your honesty and be willing to help you in any way she can.
3. Make all major decisions together
Making decisions as a team is a great way to make sure that both partners are happy. Also, it helps you take stronger risks and earn rewards together. On the other hand, you will never feel alone or left out when something does not work out as it was your mutual decision.
4. Treat your partner as your equal
Respect your wife and treat her as your equal in all aspects of your marriage. While many of us think we already do so, it may not be the case. Equality should be reflected in every part of your life.
For example, if you are taking all financial decisions yourself ( even if you think that it will speed up the process) , think again. You must involve your wife in such decisions . She must feel confident in financial matters so she can handle any situation in case you are not available. This will also remove dependency on you from these maters.
5. Share the household chores with your wife
Doing chores together can be a great way to bond and can help with communication. Also, it is the biggest reflection of your thoughts on equality. While division of work helps expedite the work, the division should be done across domains.
For instance, you can do some of the household work daily, so your partner gets freedom to improve her professional skills.
6. Enjoy every moment with her
Don’t let the day to day grind of life get in the way of spending quality time with your wife. Enjoy dinners, watch movies occasionally, go for long drives just as you would behave with a friend.
7. Help each other learn more skills
Learning new things together is a great way to stay connected and explore new interests. Couples must have a learning relation between them. This helps both of you expand your interests and skill sets.
8. Do not hesitate to learn from her what she knows better
Ask your wife for advice and listen to her opinion sincerely.
I have learnt a lot about the HR domain from my wife since she specializes in that domain. Besides, she taught me to make wonderful chapatis.
9. Appreciate her
Be sure to show your wife how much you appreciate her by thanking her for her support. The best relations are those in which couples regularly appreciate each other.
10. Thank her for her support
Show your appreciation for her help by expressing your gratitude. Thankfulness spreads.
It will help you improve overall energy in your relationship.
When couples make their partners their best friends, it helps them build stronger relationships, enjoy life more, and make better decisions.
If you want to take your relationship to the next level, then start by becoming friends with your wife. With a little effort and understanding, you can make your wife your best friend and make your marriage rewarding.
