Let me be honest with you ladies, there is no known way to make a man stay. So many people have tried different approaches, it worked for some and it didn’t for others. So I can’t come out and say, “Eureka! I have found it!”
I read about Toke Makinwa, the media personality whose husband was alleged to have impregnated a longtime girlfriend. Few weeks before the news came out, Toke was said to have spoken on the topic ‘how to keep a man’ without knowing that her man was definitely at that time having an affair. Was it that Toke wasn’t beautiful? Intelligent? Sexy? No way. I’m sure some guys dream about marrying a woman like her. Pity her husband didn’t appreciate her worth. So seriously, there is no known way to keep your man. Even a man’s strong love for his wife may not keep him from cheating. The physical things may work to an extent but there is how far it can possibly go in securing your man. All I can say is just do your part, like I will show you as you read on, then leave the rest to God.
Sometimes, we ladies do only the physical but neglect the spiritual. I believe that the spiritual controls the physical. Some things our men do is not just gonna be repaired by the physical things you are doing. It will take bringing God into it to make it happen. Because truth be told you are not guaranteed that after having done everything a good wife should do, that it is enough to keep his eyes on you only.
So keep at your part. Show him you love him and respect him.
Create that environment that makes him confident in himself. Men love their ego so enhance it by according him his due respect. It makes him feel good.
Value your man and learn to appreciate him. If he is going out to work in the morning tell him how good he looks, when he comes back in the evening , greet him with a smile and a warm kiss.
Be out to satisfy his needs. Men don’t play with their tummy and their sexual appetite.
Be his fantasies. Be creative in the bedroom, and in the kitchen as well. Try out new recipes. If you can’t cook, learn. Nobody, not even your house help or mother-in-law should cook for your man. Do it yourself.
Be active, don’t be lazy.
Be humble and submissive. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t voice out your opinion on a matter but do it respectfully and don’t nag about it.
Love him. Give him your attention. Don’t just focus it on the children alone. Your husband is your baby and will always be so pay him close attention. Don’t make him feel neglected or you will be pushing him to seek attention elsewhere.
Don’t deny him sex. Even if you are too tired, either make him understand or just lie there and let him play. You don’t have to actively participate anyway. He will understand.
Put your man first and make your decisions with him.
Dress sexy at home (abeg not too sexy in front of the children. I didn’t send u o! Lol) Stop tying wrapper like mama Iyabo. It is also important to let you know that inasmuch as you should attimes dress provocatively when he is around for his viewing pleasure, it is also good you cover up now and then. It can make his mouth water as he imagines what you must be wearing beneath your clothes. You can still cover up and look sexy all at once. Yeah. That’s right. He is your man. Make him love what he sees.
Be neat. Smell good. Be in shape. Keep him tripping.
Be faithful to him and don’t allow anyone , be it your children, your friends, or extended family, take his place. He should remain your number one (God definitely remains the indisputable number one though. Your husband is the second).
Be to him a wife, a mother, a lover, his best friend, a confidant, his pillar of support, the shoulder to lean on. Make his heart rejoice at the thought of you. And after having done all these, never stop praying for him and your marriage.
Make God the foundation of your home . A faulty foundation can make a house sink.
So having done all the ones you can do, allow God do the ones you can’t because sincerely speaking there is no guarantee that after having done all the things a good wife can do and being all he wants you to be, that he will still not cheat on you. God is the only one who can guarantee that. So do you see why I said you need God in this?
