17 ways to be an amazing husband:
Getting married is not an excuse to get comfortable.
It’s an opportunity to become your best.
1. Don’t try to change her.
Focus on growing together and holding each other accountable.
2. Know her love language:
1. Words of affirmation
2. Quality time
3. Physical touch
4. Acts of service
5. Gifts
3. Never stop dating
Continue to be the man your wife fell in love with.
Don’t get comfortable.
Boredom is the enemy.
4. Loyalty
A woman proves her loyalty by staying with him when he’s broke.
A man proves his loyalty by staying with her when she’s sick.
5. She is not your mother.
It’s not her job to make you happy…
…that’s your responsibility.
She should increase your happiness, not be the source.
6. Pursue your mission
A man with a strong purpose is unstoppable.
If you don’t know your purpose, read:
“Managing Oneself” by Peter Drucker
7. Protect and provide
Learn martial arts:
•Boxing
•Wrestling
•Jiu Jitsu
•Kickboxing
Be wise with money and have an emergency fund for a psychological advantage.
8. Listen
Sometimes the best form of communication is listening.
She doesn’t always need her problems fixed.
She wants you to listen.
9. Stop seeking approval
As a man, you will be taken for granted.
You don’t need recognition for everything.
10. Be decisive
Overthinking is unattractive.
Make quick decisions with an open mind for change.
11. Communicate effectively
Be honest, vulnerable, and don’t play games.
Don’t withhold information from each other.
You’re not a mind-reader.
12. Tell her regularly
-I love you
-I support you
-I love talking to you
-I can’t imagine my life without you
13. Mutual respect
You can have disagreements without losing respect for one another.
14. Optimism
No one likes being around a pessimist.
The most successful people I know are irrationally optimistic.
15. Support her no matter what.
16. Be healthy
Every successful person I know has high energy.
When you’re healthy, it’s easy for your wife and kids to be healthy:
-Lift weights
-15k steps a day
-Be highly active
-Good sleep
-Eat nutrient dense food
-Good hydration
-Eat with moderation
17. Notice the little things
When she feels heard, she feels loved.
This shows you pay attention.
The small things are important!
