Commitment should go hand in hand with romantic relationships and marriages.
That’s how it’s meant to be.
However, it’s not what’s obtainable for some people.
Since time immemorial, many people have entered romantic relationships and marriages and offered their partners various qualities that exclude commitment.
Simply put, they feel ready to settle down and be with someone, but they are not ready to commit or be fully committed to them.
In the long run, this arrangement usually causes problems in such relationships or marriages because the other person might start wanting more commitment from their partner.
The good news is that this scenario doesn’t apply to everyone.
There are people who value commitment and readily offer it to their partners.
In my opinion, they are the type of people who you should look out for when you are ready to get into a serious relationship or marriage.
That’s if you’re down to stay committed yourself.
In this article, we’ll be looking at the habits of men who are committed to their wives.
As a lady, there are some qualities that you should be searching for in your ideal man.
And as a man, there are some habits you should pick up if you want your wife to enjoy your commitment.
Without further ado, let’s get started.
8 Habits Of Men Who Are Committed To Their Wives
1. They take care of their wives
One of the habits of men who are committed to their wives is that they know how to take care of their wives.
It’s funny how the first thing that comes to some people’s minds when they hear ‘taking care” is money.
However, caring for someone doesn’t translate to just money.
It’s in the little things, like making sure a sick wife takes her medication, practicing for an upcoming presentation at her job, and meeting her doctor’s appointment.
Then, the monetary aspects of care that a husband who is committed to his wife will show are – seeing that her needs are met adequately and setting up a spa appointment for her whenever she’s stressed.
Also, they take on ordering meals whenever she’s too tired to cook, taking the kids to stay with a friend or family member when she’s overwhelmed and needs to recharge, and so on.
2. They check in on their wives
Men who are committed to their wives find it very easy to check in on their wives.
I can say that it’s one of their strongest forte.
And women generally love men who check in on them on their own without being reminded or coerced.
It shows the woman that she’s important to you and that she’s always on your mind.
Committed men usually text or call their wives to hear from them and know how they’re faring during the day.
Such a man will reach out to know how work or business is going.
He’ll tell his wife about his day and keep her updated on his routine.
Even if he misses her calls or doesn’t reply to her texts early enough, it’s because he’s busy, and he’ll find a way to communicate that.
3. They are great with the children
Being good with children is one of the habits of men who are committed to their wives.
Most people have children as part of the reason they get married.
However, the duty of raising children should not be left to the woman alone.
The man has to contribute his own quota to raising the children, and I’m not talking about only financial involvement.
He has to be hands-on when it comes to his children.
He should be able to take care of them in the absence of his wife and any other help.
He has to be able to perform basic duties such as changing diapers, making food for and feeding them, playing with them, getting them to do some chores, putting them to sleep, and so on.
A man shouldn’t just aspire to be a good husband or a great dad.
He should aim to be both, as it’s achievable.
There are men who are both, and they are the men who are committed to their wives.
4. They make time for their wives
A man who is committed to his wife usually makes time for her.
He looks forward to spending time with her at the end of each day.
Even when they are not in the same location, he’ll speak with her for long hours on the phone or via video call before they retire for the day.
There are times he hangs out with his friends and colleagues, but he always returns home in time to be with his wife.
And whenever he has to choose between hanging out with the boys and spending time with his wife, he’ll prefer to spend time with his wife at home than hanging out with his friends.
He’ll choose to curl up on the floor, bed, or couch with her, with blankets draped over them, while they listen to music, see a movie, or talk about anything and everything.
He doesn’t joke about their time together because it’s one of the ways they strengthen their bond.
5. They don’t stay in touch with their exes
Another thing on the list of the habits of men who are committed to their wives is that they don’t stay in touch with their ex-girlfriends.
Such a man understands that his ex is past tense and should remain in the past.
She has no business in his present, especially now that he’s married.
He has severed all ties with her because he loves and respects his wife and guards that boundary line jealously.
He doesn’t want to give his wife any reason to feel insecure.
It’s one of his ways of showing his wife that he’s committed to her.
6. They gift their wives randomly
Gifts are one of the many ways to a woman’s heart.
While many men know this, only a few are ready and committed to acting on it.
One such man who gifts his woman is a man who is committed to his wife.
He doesn’t just wait for special occasions, such as her birthday or their anniversaries, to buy her gifts.
He buys her gifts randomly, even if there’s no occasion.
He understands that those random gestures will warm her heart, and in turn, she’ll love and appreciate such gestures from him.
He’s committed to doing the things that will constantly put smiles on her face.
7. They are mature in their ways
A man who is committed to his wife has a mind of his own.
No matter the momentum of the crowd around him, he refuses to go with the flow or get swept up with them without making his findings first.
He’s very mature in both his thinking and dealings.
That’s why he’s able to make his own decisions based on his needs and logic.
His decision to commit and stay committed to his wife is born out of his maturity and knowing that he’s doing his marriage a lot of good by choosing the path of commitment.
8. They are emotionally intelligent
Finally, men who are committed to their wives are emotionally intelligent not because it is natural to them but because they have studied their wives well and know how to be there for them.
For such a man, he knows when to be quiet and allows her to vent her anger and frustration while he listens attentively to all she has to say.
He knows that at that point, what she needs is a listening ear.
Then, there are times she needs him to step in and confront the cause of her anger.
He knows when to stand up for her and when to gently correct her.
He is committed to her, so he studies her and bags a PhD in understanding her.
How sweet!
This is just to say that men who are committed to their wives go all the way.
