Make Her Happy Action #4: Do the little daily things that say “I would choose you all over again.”
You chose a wonderful woman to be your wife. After the wedding, she needs you to keep choosing her. And you can do that with the simplest actions. Like putting your arm around her in church. Like taking her hand when you are crossing a parking lot. Like calling her for no reason, just to say hi. Like apologizing when you’ve been in a funk and reassuring her that the two of you are okay. Like sending her a text message during the day that says, “I was just watching some drama play out at work, and feeling so grateful for how kind and generous you are. I really scored when I met you. I love you.”
We promise: she will screenshot and save that text message.
The good news is: even if you hadn’t realized how vital these actions are to making your wife happy, now you know. They are super simple. You can start right now.
