How to make your man happy

First of all, being selfless and unconditional should never be one sided.

If you use these tips to make your man happy but his behavior borders on selfishness or he takes you for granted, you may have to talk to him about it or reevaluate the relationship for the sake of your own happiness.

Just use these 20 tips on how to make your man happy, and you’d definitely be playing your part in keeping the relationship happy down to the tee.

#1 Praise him in front of others. When the woman in his life shows her appreciation for him in front of others, he’ll be grateful and glad to have someone who supports him and stands by him.

#2 Make him feel secure. While men may have epic egos, they’re also extremely fragile when it comes to the matters of the heart. They feel threatened easily, and go into an insecure shell. Avoid making him feel insecure in the right way and he’ll love you more.

#3 Take the lead in bed. Experiment. Be willing to try new things with your partner. One of the biggest reasons why couples start getting bored in bed is because of the monotony and boredom of repetition. Keep things $exy and he’ll always be awed by you.

#4 Motivate him in his endeavors. You can pick flaws in your man and his ideas, but don’t oppose it without rational judgment. Bring out the best in your man and help him *achieve his destiny* by motivating him and complimenting his achievements.

#5 Surprise him by buying something he really likes. Did you find something your man will really appreciate when you were out shopping alone? Pick it up for him. Surprise him now and then with little, thoughtful gifts and he’ll think he’s the luckiest guy in the world.

#6 Be a great cook. Food truly is the best way to a man’s heart. He may say he doesn’t care if you don’t know to cook, but try cooking him a fabulous dish and he’ll experience a gastronomical orgasm!

#7 Make him feel lucky to have you. Be a charmer and a graceful woman who’s the cynosure of everyone’s attention. Awe others wherever you are, and he’ll truly thank the one above to be with a woman who can take the air out of any room she walks into!

#8 Special gestures out of the blue. If you want to know how to make a man happy, the secret lies in not making special gestures a routine, but by being extra nice now and then. Men have a tendency of taking things for granted, so don’t turn your gestures into routine.

#9 Don’t forget your inner child. As you grow older, don’t forget the inner, happy fun child within you. Most women take on the role of a mother and forget to behave like a child now and then. Instead of feeling jealous or annoyed when your man acts like a child, join him and have fun!

#10 Make him think you need him. Men are the instinctive protectors. Make him feel like a man by making him believe you’re dependent on him. When he truly believes you need him, he’ll cling to you because it makes him feel good inside.

#11 Give him his space. Men are different from women when it comes to space. Most women are fine with having people around all the time. Men on the other hand, get annoyed when they don’t get some alone time by themselves. Give each other space, and you’ll see that love will blossom better.

#12 Support him when he’s down without criticizing him. An “I told you so” is ego shattering. When your man is down on the ground, don’t kick him in the groin. It may seem like the perfect time to criticize him and his bad decisions, but hold that thought. You’ll only make him hate himself and you.

#13 Ask his help now and then. All men think they’re intellectuals with exceptional problem solving abilities. As long as you’re listening to his opinion with your eyes wide, he’ll swell with pride and love.

#14 Get helpless in his arms when you’re hurt. Feeling down and helpless? Walk up to your man without saying a word and just hold him tight. Your man will be overwhelmed with love and affection, and not to mention, delirious happiness because he’s the one that makes you feel better.

#15 Look like a million bucks around him. Look $exy when you’re with him. Getting Nakked should still be a treat, not a regular occurrence around the house. Dress well and make sure eyes turn when you’re in his arms.

#16 Compliment him. Men love compliments, they just pretend like they don’t. Compliment your man for his physique and his intellect. He’ll be happy to know you notice.

#17 Don’t emasculate your man. Don’t shrivel your man’s ball bag by making him fell less like a man when he’s done something wrong. Don’t yell at him in public or put him down when he takes a few decisions. If you keep cutting him down from under, he’ll just end up looking for an affair to feel more like a man.

#18 Don’t hit him below the belt unless you really have to. Don’t bring up his exes, his mother or his lousy job when you’re trying to pick a fight with him or trying to hurt him for hurting you.

#19 Stand up for your man. If your man is cornered or helpless, step into the warzone and fight his fight for him. Don’t be surprised if you see your man’s eyes well up with happy tears for finding a woman as awesome as you.

#20 Respect him. All of us need respect. When you’re in love, it’s easy to talk stupid or put down your man in jest, but be careful where to draw the line. Never ridicule him or put him down in public. Let him know you respect him, even if you pull his leg now and then. [Read:
