The home is supposed to be your happy place, isn’t it?
It’s somewhere you hope to find some peace and quiet after the stress, hustle, and bustle of each day.
Everyone looks forward to returning to their homes at the end of the day if the atmosphere in the home is conducive for them.
However, the reverse becomes the case when someone considers the home unconducive for them.
As a couple, both the husband and wife have to contribute towards making the home conducive for each other.
They can achieve this by their character, efforts, and inputs to making the home peaceful, happy, and comfortable for each other.
When you have a home like the one described in the previous line, your spouse will always look forward to coming home to you.
In this article, we’ll be discussing how, as a wife, you can make your husband look forward to coming home to you.
How exactly do you achieve that?
Come with me as I take you through a list of how to be the wife he can’t wait to come home to.
The things on this list will not only make your husband run home to you at the end of each day but will also add value to your life by practicing them.
Let’s dive right in!
How To Be The Wife He Can’t Wait To Come Home To – 5 Practical Ways
1. Have a positive attitude
Being positive does a lot of magic in a home.
It literally takes the mood from zero to a hundred in seconds.
Yes.
I know that we don’t have it rosy all the time.
Life gets in the way sometimes.
For instance, the kids may be proving to be a handful or may have been sick lately, and that can be super draining on you.
There may be repairs waiting to be done.
The housekeeping bank account may be red, but that’s where having a positive attitude comes in.
Your positive attitude is what saves the day, despite whatever is going on in the home.
You also don’t know what he has been through.
Just give him some breathing space.
Save all the ugly incidents for later in the night, when you’re talking about things generally.
Even while talking about the uglies, try to make light of it and laugh about it because no matter what happens, life must go on.
But for that period he walks through the door, tuck all the bad news away, and let him settle in properly and relax.
It’ll make him know that his home is truly a safe haven for him.
No matter what he’s facing out there, he’ll always look forward to closing time and can’t wait to come home to you.
2. Identify his love language and use it
It’s important that you learn your husband’s love language and speak it appropriately to him.
No two husbands are the same, and everyone has different love languages.
Five love languages include acts of service, words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, and touch.
Your husband may have one or more love languages.
For instance, he may love receiving gifts as well as spending quality time with his loved ones.
He can also just love to hear words of affirmation from you.
There’s no ‘one rule fits all’ to it.
It’s your duty to find out and try as much as you can to speak his love language to him regularly.
It’s one of the things that will get him running home to you whenever he can.
3. Be of help to him
Now, this is a personal tip that has been doing wonders for me.
One of the ways to be the wife he can’t wait to come home to, is by trying to be of help to him.
For instance, at the end of each day, after I’ve made sure that the home front and everything else is exactly as they should be, I’ll ask my husband if he needs me to make him a cup of soothing tea.
He may decline and insist on going to bed because he doesn’t want to bother me anymore.
But because I know that he loves taking a cup of tea right before his bedtime, there’s something I usually do.
I casually ask him, “Darling, I want to make myself a cup of tea. Would you like a cup for yourself?”
Including myself in the routine means he won’t feel so guilty when he admits to needing a cup of tea.
Also, on the days I’m not so busy, I ask him if there’s anything he’d like me to help him with before he leaves for work.
Not only are you proving to be helpful to him personally, but you’re also learning about what he considers you can help him with.
People love to engage with people who have things to offer them and not people who drain them.
By offering to help and being intentional in your acts of service toward your husband, you will make him miss you when you are away and always long to be with you.
4. Drop love notes for him
I know that you might roll your eyes at the mention of love notes.
You’re probably wondering who still goes about dropping handwritten notes in this era.
But hey!
It’s your life and world, and you can do absolutely anything you want.
You’re here to learn how to be the wife he can’t wait to come home to.
And that’s exactly what I’m trying to teach you.
After all, there are no rules to these things, right?
Sticky notes are absolutely handy here.
While packing lunch for him, you can scribble down how much you love him on a sticky note and stick it right on the top of his lunch box.
You can also stick a handwritten love note on his laptop screen.
That way, it’ll be the first thing he sees when he flips his laptop open to start working for the day.
If you’re having trouble getting sticky notes or finding places you can attach them for him to find, you can stick to sending him love texts on his phone during the day.
Make sure you tell him how you feel about him, and reassure him of your love for and commitment towards him.
These tiny gestures will have him smiling like a love-struck teenager all through the day.
When he gets love notes from you, your guess is as good as mine.
He’ll look forward to coming home to you.
5. Be in your feminine era around him
I hope you are still with me up till this point.
Because I know that although men have different preferences, most, if not all of them will really really love this one.
Lol.
So, dear wifey, be in your feminine era around your husband.
I know that you work hard all day round the clock.
But learn to give yourself some break.
Freshen up.
Look good.
Soak yourself in a warm bath that’s infused with essential oils.
Shave your legs and privates.
Paint your nails (if you love to).
Wear a good cologne or alluring perfume whenever you’re ready to go to bed.
Dig into your box or wardrobe and bring out that nightie or robe that looks appealing and enticing.
Yes.
That one that’ll make your husband scream ‘woah’ and make his eyes almost pop out of the sockets when he sees it on you.
Wear it to bed.
Take good care of yourself.
Smell nice.
These things should be normal to you and should not be considered special and kept specifically for rare occasions.
And please, be unpredictable about it.
That way, your husband will not know what side of you he’s coming home to next.
The curiosity is exciting enough to keep him on the edge of his seat all day.
Believe me, he can’t wait to come running through that door at the end of each day.
If you’ve read up to this point, I hope that I’ve been able to convince you that it’s possible and easy to make your husband look forward to coming home to you.
It’s not rocket science.
The solution lies in the easy things we do daily.
Just identify them and stick to doing them well.
Even your husband would be surprised at the positive change.
That too, is enough to make him want to come home to you at the end of each day.
Good luck!
