When I was about to get into the university, I accompanied a friend to visit his mentor.
I was so drawn to how the man doted on his wife.
Throughout our short stay there, it was clear that the man loved his wife thoroughly and literally worshipped the ground she walked on.
When we came in, the couple sat together in their living room, giggling like teenagers who had just discovered love.
When we were about to leave, I casually mentioned to them that I loved the bond they shared and hoped to experience the same with my husband when the time came for marriage.
Imagine my surprise and shock when I learned that they just celebrated their thirtieth wedding anniversary the weekend before.
If they hadn’t told me themselves, I wouldn’t have believed it because they acted so differently from other elderly couples I knew.
When I saw this topic, I remembered this beautiful couple and decided to share some of the things they told me that day.
In this article, we’ll be looking at the things that make a man stay madly in love with his wife.
Let’s get started.
10 Things That Make A Man Stay Madly In Love With His Wife
1. She’s his best friend
One of the greatest foundations of marriage or any relationship is friendship.
If the man sees the woman as his bestie and the ying to his yang, naturally, the love between them will be constantly energized.
I recall an elderly couple at my university who would make us blush because of how cool they were with each other.
Daddy, who was the head of the Faculty of Arts, would stroll to his wife’s shop outside the campus to spend his break time gisting with her.
We all knew that everywhere Daddy went, Mummy went too, and vice versa.
They were like Siamese twins, and it was always fun to be around them.
Even though they had an empty nest, they obviously enjoyed spending time with each other.
Daddy loved his wife so much that her picture was the first thing you’d see upon entering his office.
Sometimes, you catch them even stealing kisses and cuddling.
Lol!
The love was not “audio” (meaning it’s not fake), but even more so, you could see how much they enjoyed being with each other.
That was so because she was his best friend.
2. She gets him
Understanding in any relationship is underrated.
I have seen perfect lovebirds break up because of the absence of understanding.
My friend, to date, still talks about how her mom and dad, although divorced, still relate very well and how no one ever understood why they broke up because of how good they were together.
Well, my theory is that understanding is a thing.
The joy of being with a person who just GETS you is priceless!
Why wouldn’t he be head over heels in love with her when she understands him beyond words?
Every eye contact is a communication she understands, and even when others easily misunderstand him, his wife is his safe place – the one who knows him and understands even when the world doesn’t.
She deserves all the love o!
She’s a global treasure.
Lol!
3. She makes him happy
I have come to realize that people carry atmospheres.
If the man’s wife is a joy machine and carries a continuous and infectious aura of joy, he’d love love LOVEEEE her!
No one wants to stay long in a gloomy place or a place where they are constantly put down, so if being with her makes his heart merry and steadily brings his “thirty-two” out, he’d love her.
Have you not heard that a merry heart doeth good like medicine?
If she makes him laugh and makes him happy, he’d love her more and more.
4. She has stood and still stands by him
Usually, when most people get married, they start off with butterflies in their bellies and excitement about what they have for each other, but I daresay that the journey of marriage will test your love or definition of it.
This is why I always say that love isn’t enough to sustain a marriage.
However, there are those who grew in love through the trials and unforeseen contingencies they contended with.
It refined their love, and they started to see each other differently.
A man can be madly in love with a woman who loves him enough to stand by him when the chips are down and build with him when all they have left are rubbles.
It is screaming COMMITMENT and FAITHFULNESS!
It is enough to make him love her like his life depends on it because he recognizes how many sacrifices she has made and how she remains a solid support system.
Her kind is rare, so “he go hol’ am tight” (meaning he will hold her tight).
5. He loves her mind
Yes, it is not only about a fine face o.
Some men adore their wives because they have incredibly sharp and beautiful minds.
If he is one who values intellectual conversations and her mind keeps inspiring, he’ll be madly in love with her and literally worship the ground she walks on.
6. She gives him peace of mind
Never ever have I seen a man who left a woman that gives him peace of mind.
I know that no one wants to be with a troublesome person, but it appears that men take it a little too seriously.
Well, I guess it’s because they’re already naturally saddled with many burdens and responsibilities—family, business, work, personal stuff, and so many other things they have to shoulder.
No man wants a wife who will add to his burdens.
They marry the ones who understand, encourage, and support them.
That’s basically what they mean by peace of mind.
A wife whose shoulder is ever available for her husband to lean on and whose ears are always open to listen to his rants is a gift to him.
Not only will she be there for him to unburden himself to, she’ll also offer advice and practical solutions to his problems.
Better still, she might take charge and take care of the problem if it’s within her capacity.
A man who is married to such a woman knows that she’s an asset, and his love for her will keep being renewed often.
7. She is his confidant
In line with point 1, when a woman is her husband’s best friend, she becomes his confidant.
He’s free and comfortable with telling her anything and everything that happens to him.
She doesn’t judge him or jump into conclusions.
He knows that his secrets are safe with her.
Even when he’s wrong, she corrects him gently and lovingly.
Whenever he gets into any kind of problem, she’s his first point of call because she always has the most soothing ways of calming him before looking for an actual solution to the problem.
She stands by him and is his support system through and through.
What’s not to love about such a woman?
Her husband will love her, treat her like the queen that she is, and won’t joke with her.
8. She is beautiful
A butcher who usually sells meat to me at the local market keeps boasting about his wife’s beauty.
Aside from the fact that he cuts meat for me in chunks that are bigger than what’s normally obtainable in the market, I love patronizing him just to listen to him gush about his wife.
I guess everyone else is used to him talking about his wife in such manner because people around usually point out some really beautiful women to him to compare to his wife.
Yet, his reply will always be, “She nor reach” (meaning that the random woman can’t match his wife’s beauty).
One day, I was opportune to meet with his wife right there in the market, and oh my!
She truly is beautiful.
Despite the fact that age and some wrinkles have taken their toll on her, even the blind can see that she’s still a beauty to behold.
When I complimented her beauty, her husband immediately cut in and told me that by merely looking at her, he falls in love with her all over again.
9. She brings adventure to his life
There are people who are power houses.
They are energy personified and bring adventure with them.
There’s never a dull moment with a woman in this category.
It would be a huge error for her husband to say that his life or their marriage is boring because she has more than enough energy and adventures to keep them all through the marriage.
Lol.
She is steadily reinventing herself and bringing all the sugar and spice to the marriage.
She’s unpredictable in a lovely way and always has interesting adventures up her sleeves.
It’s one of the things that will make her husband stay madly in love with her.
10. She gives him good in bed
Aha!
This list won’t be complete without this point.
If she knows how to satisfy him sexually, it’s enough reason for him to stay madly in love with her.
I’ve not seen any married man who ever said no to good sex.
So, if she knows his ‘bed language’ and speaks exactly that and maybe some more, she’ll be sure to have him wrapped around her finger.
