“The key to a happy marriage is making sure your partner always feels like a priority.” I heard that from an elderly man recently, who’d enjoyed a long marriage of nearly 50 years before his wife passed. The reality is that your partner cannot actually, every waking minute, be your priority. If that were the case then you’d be Facetiming her while you were in a business meeting and you’d be bringing her along to boys’ night. That type of behavior just isn’t appropriate, and it would make your life fall apart. But, in the grand scheme, your partner can be a top priority. The issue is that, while a lot of men would say that their partner is a priority, they struggle to show that. If you don’t show it, then your partner won’t feel it, and she may…leave. A top complaint of so many women in unhappy relationships is that they don’t feel appreciated. It’s sad because, I bet their partners do appreciate them but don’t take action to make that known. Men: here are ways to make your partner feel like the priority she is.

One small gesture a day

It could be something a small as picking some flowers you found on your walk home that you thought she’d like, grabbing her favorite candy from the pharmacy, or printing a photo of you two that you had stored on your phone while you wait for your prescription. One small gesture a day shows that you aim to make her smile, every day.
