Healing a Relationship With Your Wife or Girlfriend - A Little Guy Advice

Posted: Nov 15, 2009 |Comments: 0 |

Guys are not always the best at maintaining a relationship. If you are struggling with your marriage or are trying to avoid a break up with your girlfriend then take heed of a little guy advice on healing a relationship.

Often times when a guy is having trouble with his wife or girlfriend he will commiserate with his buddies over beer or maybe while at work. The thing is, though, your buddies probably do not know any more than you do about relationships.

Check it out, how many of them are divorced, currently single or complaining about their relationship? You would be better off learning all you can here and then telling them what to do!

If you want to lose her, listen to your buddies. But if you would rather keep her and get some help healing a relationship then keep reading.

One of the first things to get through your head is that you are wrong. Not just because she says you are, but you probably have made some mistakes - we all do. So put the ego aside and fess up to your relationship shortcomings.

A little guy advice is that there are two phrases that are good building blocks for healing a relationship:

* "I am sorry"
* "I was wrong"

Now do not spout these phrases off to your wife or girlfriend unless you are sincere and really mean it. She can tell if you are faking it and that will do more harm than good.

Many men think an apology is a sign of weakness. Hardly. It takes a man to admit he is wrong and it is one of the hardest things we guys ever have to do. An afternoon of chopping wood is easier than admitting we were wrong and are sorry for hurting someone we love.

Men have a tendency to bury their feelings and not admit them or let them show. While that seems to work sometimes in the short run, it will hurt you and your relationship or marriage in the long run.

Expressing your feelings to your wife or girlfriend will build your relationship and increase her trust in you. Get it out of the way and work toward showing her the respect and attention she craves and deserves.

If you have been taking your girl for granted then you need to slow down and pay attention to what she does for you. I was just watching a movie last night where the wife was taking classes on healing a marriage and the husband had no clue that she was doing it for him as much as her.

He would come home from work, grab his plate of food off the table and go eat in front of the TV. She would bring him a beer and he would tell her how good the food was. He was a dolt. She wanted him to spend time with her, but he did not even notice the fresh flowers on the dinner table.

The compliment he gave her sounded like he appreciated her; but his going to eat in the other room in front of the TV said otherwise. Get the picture?

Then, after dinner, help her with clean up and the dishes. Not because your day was easy, but because her day was tough too. You are not doing this because you like the task, you are doing it because you enjoy helping her.

The good news is that all of these mistakes can be forgiven if you are willing to do the work turning a new leaf and healing your relationship.

Husbands and boyfriends make mistakes every day, and over time, not caring about those mistakes can lead to a miserable relationship, break up, or even divorce.

Avoid the mistakes most guys make and instead become an expert on healing a relationship with the woman you love. Toss aside the guy advice you get from your divorced and dumped buddies.

    For example, Jerald, when was the last time you and Susan spent time talking or cuddling? Susan told me that you were romantic when you were dating but stopped after you were married. Keeping the romance alive is very important to most women. Send her flowers and cards, leave her loving notes, hug her when you come home, tell her you love her daily. Ask Susan how her day was, and listen to her. Don't try to solve her problems, just be supportive and let her know that her feelings are valid.....

    Breaking up is hard to do. For days, weeks, months and even years, the pain of a failed relationship will plague you. Consciously or not, the tendency is to do a post-mortem of what-has-been as well as pining for what-could-still-be. And while the pain lingers, you need to understand that you can survive a break up. All you need is the right perspective to get over it, move on and move forward.
