Make Your Wife Love You More Than Ever

My husband and I faced our own personal struggle a little over a year ago. My husband had taken on a more demanding job due to the fact that he was worried about our financial situation. I'd been staying home full time with our two young sons and even though our mortgage was being paid each month and we had food on the table, there was nothing left over for extras. We couldn't go to a movie or even take a family vacation.

Even though I logically knew this, I still felt slightly abandoned by my spouse. I resented the fact that he went to work each day, talked to other adults when I was confined to the house with our two little ones. I started to pull away from my husband and it didn't take long before it became a thorn in the side of our marriage. He noticed the change in me and would question me often about it. I wanted him to be able to understand what I was feeling but I knew that if I started trying to explain it to him, that I'd mess up and the words that he absorbed would be much different than my true intention.

Things became so strained between us that I eventually moved in with my parents. Our marriage was quickly falling apart and I was certain that within months we would be divorced. I hated the idea of my boys not living in a home with both of their parents. Each time they saw their dad they'd beg me to move back into the house with him. I just couldn't. I knew that our issues hadn't been resolved and I also knew that if I jumped back into the marriage in the state it was in, that we'd end up hating each other forever.

Then one day, out of the blue, everything changed. My husband's attitude was much different. He
asked me out on a date and although I was wary, I knew that it couldn't hurt for us to spend that time alone together. We talked for hours and he listened to everything I was saying. He was attentive, loving and understanding.

Within days of that date I did in fact move back into our home and we worked together over the next few months to repair our marriage. It's very strong now and although we still have the occasional disagreement, we're working hard together to get over any conflicts so we can be the happy and loving couple that we both want to be.

One evening, after the boys went to bed, when we were sharing a bottle of wine, I asked my husband what changed for him. To that point I was convinced that he had gone to therapy on his own but he confessed that he'd actually found help to save our marriage online.


The Marriage Savior is designed to aid men who want to save their marriage and alter the dynamic with their wives. It taught my husband how to minimize the conflict between us while rebuilding the broken bonds. I'm thankful for it each and every day.
