Bi idhnillah, this blog shares ideas to make your wife feel loved and create a marriage full of joy.

Bismillah;

Marriage is a special promise that lasts forever, and it gets better when a husband and wife really try to understand each other’s feelings and thoughts. It’s like being a team where you both help each other grow, making a home full of love, trust, and kindness for one another. For husbands, taking time to know what your wife really wants – like how she feels, how she thinks, and what she dreams about – can make your marriage so happy and peaceful. When you connect with her in this beautiful way, you make your relationship stronger and create a loving space where both of you can feel good in your hearts. Insha Allah. here’s how you can get closer to your wife and make your relationship even more wonderful.

She Always Wants to Feel Loved: Your wife wants to feel loved, not just think it, but really feel it in her heart. You might think, “I work hard for her, I don’t cheat – she must know I care.” But she needs more than that. She wants to hear you say “I love you, my dear” and see it in your actions, like giving her a hug or doing something nice. Don’t think she’s okay just because you’re doing your job. Show her every day that she’s special to you. Little things like this make her heart happy.

Her Mind Thinks in Many Ways: Women think differently, and that’s a good thing, alhamdulillah. You might focus on one thing at a time, but your wife can think about many things at once – like the kids, house jobs, and her feelings – all together, subhanallah. Her mind is like a busy market, while yours might be like a quiet road. She might talk about lots of things quickly or bring up something old. Don’t get upset; that’s just how she is. Listen to her with patience, even if it feels fast. That’s how she sorts out her thoughts, and listening shows you care about her way of thinking.

She Needs to Feel Safe with Her Feelings: You work hard to give her a house and money, and that’s great – but she needs more than that. She wants to feel close to you in her heart. If you’re always working late or thinking about other things, she might wonder if you still care. A quick message, sitting together while enjoying a Somali ghahwa with halwa (if you like, 😉), or just being with her can make her feel better. She might prefer feeling close to you with less money than feeling far apart with lots of money. Make time for her alongside your work – her heart needs that closeness to feel safe.

She Wants You to Be Her Best Friend: Your wife doesn’t just want a husband; she wants you to be her best friend, and comrade. You might have friends outside, but she wants you to be the one she can share everything with. She needs you to listen to her, care about her, and be there when she’s sad – not to fix everything, but to understand her feelings. When she talks, don’t try to solve things right away. Just listen, show you care, and ask if she wants help. Being her best friend makes your love strong and lasting.

Being Close Means Feelings to Her: For you, being close might mean the physical side – and that’s okay. But for her, it’s more about her heart. She wants to feel loved, wanted, and connected deeply. Being close to her starts with making her feel special and cared for. Show her kindness and pay attention to her, and the physical part will come naturally from your heart connection.

She Feels Happy When You Notice Her: Your wife likes to feel pretty, and she tries hard – her clothes, her smell, her look – it’s all for you. If you don’t notice, she feels like you don’t see her, and that hurts. Just saying “you look nice, my dear” can make her so happy – trust me. But don’t look at other women when she’s with you (… well you shouldn’t be) – that makes her feel bad. Show her she’s the only one for you, and she’ll keep shining for you and herself.

She Needs You to Listen, Not Just Fix Things: When your wife is sad or upset, you might want to fix the problem quickly. But she doesn’t always want a fix – she wants you to listen to her heart. She might talk a lot or say the same thing again – maybe that’s how she feels better. Don’t tell her she’s making a big deal or ignore her; that makes her feel worse. Sit with her, listen, and say, “that sounds hard.” When she feels you understand her, you become her hero without changing anything.

Brothers, Allah made men and women different so they can help each other in marriage. Your wife isn’t the same as you; she’s her own person with her own needs. Love her with kind words and touches, listen to what she feels, and see how lovely she is – inside and out. Come out of your own world sometimes to be her best friend. When you do this, your marriage becomes a happy place, bi idnillah.

A happy marriage isn’t made with big things only, but with small, everyday acts of love, listening, and being there for each other, which brings you closer to Allah. By caring for your wife’s needs and loving her for who she is, you make a marriage full of peace and joy. What’s one little thing you can do today to make your wife feel special?

Guulaysta!
