10 Ways to make a man happy
A man is very simple, if you treat him like a king, he will treat you like his queen. When I asked men what makes them happy, they all provided similar responses. If you do these 10 things, you will have a happy man.
1. Respect your man
All men want to be respected and this is what many women fail at. How do men define “respect”?
When he is the head of the family or relationship
A man wants to feel like he is the head of the family or the man in a relationship. In other words, he wants to have the role of the Chief Executive Officer. He wants to be consulted and make all major decisions, although there a minor decisions which he can delegate.
As a respectful wife or partner, it means you respectfully offer your suggestions and input, but you allow him to make the final decision. He will sometimes make wrong decisions, but allow him to lead, he will eventually get it right.
The way you communicate with him
A man does not want to feel like he is being treated like a child. Don’t shout at him when you address his flaws, talk calmly.
A man does not want to be controlled
He does not want to feel like a woman is too controlling or treats him like his mother. A man wants to be able to do this his own way, at his own time.
Never embarrass him in public
He does not want to be embarrassed in public. If he says or does something wrong in public, there is no need to correct him or make him feel stupid, rather wait until you get home.
2. Have fireworks in the bedroom
A man wants a playmate in the bedroom. For a man, s*x is not a want, but a need. He cannot go for so long without it. It is important for a woman not to withhold it as a form of punishment or use it as a reward. If you are not sick or on your periods, offer him his bedroom food as often as possible and try out new things together.
3. Be supportive
A man wants a woman who will support him in his plans, ideas, and ambitions. Life will not always work out as planned, but a man is happy when his woman has his back at all times. You should be a source of his strength and not anxiety. Learn to encourage him and praise him.
4. Love his family and friends
A man is happy when a woman loves his friends and family, although he might not voice it out. Be good to them, treat them like you would treat your own friends and family. Don’t ever try to come in between them. Compromise for his sake, even if there is something that you don’t like about them.

5. Don’t compare him to anyone
A man does not want to be compared to anyone because he is an individual. Never compare him to your dad or your ex, or his siblings or other men. If you compare him, he will shut down emotionally and not even strive to be like the people that you are comparing him with.
6. Give him his space
A man is happy to be with a woman who allows him to have his space. He still wants to do certain activities and be around certain people without the presence of his partner.
7. Cook for him and don’t force him to do house chores
There is a saying that a way to man’s heart is through his stomach. A man loves good food and when his woman can give him that he is happy. A man appreciates a clean space even though he can be messy by nature. Roles have shifted, but it is not all men who want to do house chores, but they rather prefer a woman who will do it for them.
8. Don’t nag him
A man loves to be in a peaceful space, he does not like to be nagged. When he has a nagging woman, he even dreads going back home on time. For example, if you ask him to replace the fused lightbulbs more than twice but he still does not do it, just let him be, he will do it at his own time.
9. Spend on him
A man is human just like a woman, he also loves to receive from his partner. He is happy when his woman spends on him without complaining. He loves to be spoiled and boosted financially when he is low on cash.
10. Don’t emasculate him
A man is happy when he can provide for his family and when he is not in a position to do so due to circumstances, it can be frustrating. It is important to have a woman who will not elevate the pressure by being disrespectful, constantly nagging, and making him feel like less of a man.
