My Wife Is Never Happy No Matter What I Do (Nothing I Do Is Ever Good Enough For My Wife)

There's nothing worse than having to say my wife is never happy no matter what I do. This happens with tons of marriages and it's really disheartening. It actually happened to me, and it took me a while to figure out why nothing I do is ever good enough for my wife... since I thought I was doing everything right. Boy was I wrong!

Women are emotion based creatures and one of men's greatest mysteries in life. Men and women can drive each other crazy at times but they have a hard time living without the other. For whatever reason, your wife is not happy there is a few things you can do to help her. Life and day-to-day stress can have an impact on anyone. Maybe the realities of life-work, school, stress, bills, and raising kids (and the list goes on) is taking an emotional toll on her.

When life gets stressful and upsetting, a woman can feel anything but the kind of woman she wants to be--an attractive, radiant and beautiful woman. And when women begin to feel this way, they may not express it, but they want to feel attractive, appreciated, loved and valued.

Even though it is no one's responsibility but your wife's to feel good about herself, as a husband, you can significantly help her feel better. The fact that you noticed that your wife isn't happy and you want to make her feel better says that you love her a lot.

What your wife needs right now is your undying support and love. Through your words, tell her how much you care for her, love her and how she is the most important person in your life. Also remember that actions speak a lot louder than words so be sure to make your actions be as impeccable as your words. I'm not going to tell you exactly what you need to do because not all marriages are same and "one size fits all" advice will not help you.

What you need really need to do is be aware of your wife's feelings. You may need to sit down with her and ask her what is bother her and listen to her words. Don't try to fix her problems for her. Men are more likely to want to find a solution to a problem at that moment and where as with women, they just want to be heard. Your wife will appreciate that you even noticed that something was bothering her and that you allowed her to vent her feelings (women love talking about their feelings).

If you did something to upset her, what she needs from you is to know that you are willing to do anything to fix your marriage. If you brush off her feelings or do not follow through on your words, you are not showing her your support and love. Again, be impeccable with your words and actions.

A couple who truly cares for each other's general well-being and happiness are more likely to overcome those "bumps in the road." Being aware of her feelings (and not resisting them) will help you be the kind of husband she needs right now... a loving, caring and supportive husband.

She doesn't need you to do certain acts for her, what she needs is to know that whatever what life will throw at her, you will love, value, appreciated and support her (not matter what). Once you actually get this in your mind, from here on out, use your own resources on what you can personally do to put a smile on her face.

The Need to Talk

Gentlemen, I'm going to let you in on a little secret about the women in your lives! Women not only love to talk but they actually NEED to talk. For many women this need is just as great as your own need for sex.

A little suggestion that may help; don't try to understand why she needs to talk. Just as she can never truly understand how great your own need for physical intimacy, you will probably never really "get" why she needs to talk.

The great thing is that you don't need to understand why in order to meet her need. You just need to accept that talking is very important to her and make a commitment to meet her need for "talk".

Here are a couple of pointers:

  • She needs your undivided attention.

Don't sit there and watch a show or play on the computer while she is trying to have a conversation with you. This does not cut the mustard when it comes to communication. She needs to know that you are an active participant in the conversation. She does not need to compete for your attention (this will only make her feel as if your other activity is more important than she is).

  • Don't offer advice

Take your Mr. Fix It hat off! When your wife is telling you about the problems that she is facing in her life she doesn't want your advice (unless of course she specifically asks for it). What she wants is to be heard! Be empathetic with her and just listen.

I could give even more pointers on this subject however; I think that is enough to get you started on your journey of improving your relationship with the woman in your life. Attempt to implement these changes in your relationship for one month; you will not be disappointed with the difference it makes. You may even be pleasantly surprised because you may be rewarded for your efforts. To a woman "talk" is a powerful emotional connector that will bond you more closely to her. Since the emotional bond is strengthened she just may be feeling more amorous.

Thinking about regaining the status of "Happily Married"? It is possible, and is not difficult if you think it is not. But exactly how you do so?
