People often saymarriage is hard work.
Lastly, tension also arises when disagreements or conflicts occur between spouses.
But, what can you do?
What do you think your husband would say if you asked him that same question?
Well, here’s what some men have claimed would make them happier.
Getting uncomfortable when complimented
When you receive compliments, how do you react?
or “Really, do you think so?”
Maybe you even provide a detailed explanation on how much you spent or how much you saved.
Accepting compliments can be even harder when they’re not as much about your outfit as they are aboutyoupersonally.

“And yes, it requires effort but that is the point.
Our husbands, however, may not agree.
And, when they do, how we react to those feelings matters.

That’s right, saying “we need to talk” may actuallyclosethe lines of communication.
Being overly critical
Criticism isn’t always the easiest to take even when it’s warranted.
Needless to say, someone who is overly critical is not likely to be well-received.
In marriages, though, becoming too critical of your partner can happen before you even realize.
It’s no wonder that men (and women) wish their spouses would let up on the criticism.
