Make Her Happy Action #3: Put down your phone, turn off the TV and listen to her – so that it is obvious that you’re listening
Want a quick “wow” from your wife? When she starts sharing something important about her day, or is telling a story about how her sister stood her up for lunch again, stop what you’re doing, put your attention on her, and listen.
Make a point of showing her that your attention is on her. For example, if she’s upset about something that happened at work, sit down at the kitchen table instead of continuing upstairs to change out of your work clothes. Pull out a chair and sit and listen –and pull out a chair for her as well. Put your phone on the counter, so you aren’t distracted. She will feel very loved.
