Marriage is challenging enough as it is even in the best of circumstances. However, it's even more difficult when your husband shows no affection to you. We all need close physical contact and when your spouse isn't supplying it for you it can lead to all sorts of feelings of rejection and resentment. You deserve to be adored and cherished. If you're convinced that there's little you can do to sway your husband into being more affectionate, you're wrong. You can change the situation, starting today, if you have the right insight and determination.
Understanding why your husband shows you little affection is actually the first step towards changing it. There are a whole host of reasons why some men just aren't as willing or as comfortable to share their feelings in this way. Perhaps as he was growing up his parents weren't open with their affection for one another. Or it may be a case of him feeling apprehensive about how his advances will be received by you. That's why it's important to take a look at the dynamic of your relationship with your husband in general and try to pinpoint why you think he may be holding back.
If you believe that he's just never been exposed to the type of affection that you crave, it's up to you to initiate it. You may feel that it's up to him to be affectionate to you by his own urging, but this is clearly a case of compassionately guiding him to fulfill your needs. Start by being more affectionate to him in small ways. Reach for his hand when you two are out together or kiss him lightly when you pass him in the hallway. Even a light shoulder massage while he's watching television is a great approach. Those small gestures will demonstrate to him that you need and want affection without making him feel pressured into delivering.
A big part of creating a solid bond with your husband is communicating with him. If he doesn't feel valued as a man within the marriage he is likely to be less affectionate with you. Listen to him more and become more invested in his life. Offer your unlimited and unwavering support to him. He needs that and it will show him that you adore him and want to ensure his life is as fulfilling as possible. If he feels cherished by you, you'll find that he'll be much more willing to be affectionate.
Specific things you do and say can compel your husband to appreciate and love you more. Saying or doing the wrong thing can actually cause him to feel even more distant from you. You can make your husband fall even deeper in love with you than when you two first married.
