Mistakes can happen in any type of relationship, whether it is a marriage or a friendship. Women are more emotional beings as compared to men, which means that they have a stronger emotional connection to a problem, and they tend to want to talk about in the quest of solving it.

On the other hand, men are on the other side of the spectrum. Most men do not like talking about how they are feeling or showing emotions to whatever may be going on. Some men may opt to withdraw from the problem with the hope that it will just sort itself out. Part of this may be as a result of the perception that strong men are not supposed to show their emotions because it might be looked at as a sign of weakness.

Women love talking about how they are feeling, and communication is vital to the survival of every relationship. However, if your spouse is extremely tired from a hard day at the office, and you bombard him with issues the second he walks in the door, chances are you will not get the attention that you want from him. At least wait for him to get home and relax, and it might help to ask him about how his day was.

He is more likely to respond in a positive manner if he is relaxed and he does not feel like he is being attacked or blamed. If you approach your spouse in a way that makes him feel blamed or criticized, or maybe you are yelling at him instead of talking to him in a calm manner, chances are that you are not going to get his attention or his sympathy. He will probably shut down emotionally and you will not have the desired result that you are hoping for.

If you do manage to get your husbands attention, and you manage to talk to him in a calm manner, then half the battle is won. You have told him how you feel about a certain situation, do not now start nagging him about it. Nagging will not get him to do what you want him to do any sooner, if anything, it will irritate him to no end. Just stay sweet and loving, that will be a better way to get him to do what you want him to do.

Most women tend to use sex to punish their husbands if they feel like they are not getting what they want from their husbands. This could backfire on you, because your husband will feel rejected, and this will make him even less likely give in to your demands.

Do not be possessive about his movements, trust him and give him his space, especially if he has not given you a reason not to trust him. Be genuinely interested in his day, and let him share whatever he chooses to share with you.

Allow him to spend time with his friends and family without you always being there. You both need to have your own friends and lives apart from each other.
