5 Tips on How to Get Your Husband to Listen to You
4. Keep it precise
It’s not that they have some kind of a disability or something, but most men start to lose patience and attention when conversations seem to go for too long. So keep it as precise and crisp as possible. Talk to the point about what you feel, and what you want to do or want him to do. Try to reach the end of the conversation as quickly as possible, lest you lose the opportunity of getting to a solution in the first place. Plus, the good thing is that this approach saves a lot of extra time, effort and energy.
5. Make it more about him
Even if the issue at hand concerns you more, make it sound like it’s equally important for him. Needless to say, you have to be very smart in how you frame your sentences. It shouldn’t look like you are forcing things on him, but should come across as something that requires equal involvement from both you and him. That way, he will probably listen to you more carefully.
Most women will vouch for the fact that the best time for having serious conversations is when you’ve cooked amazing food for him, and he’s busy enjoying that. A happy stomach will give him a better mood, and he will probably be more attentive. Other times, it’s just about how well you understand his mood and start the topic at the right time. Remember, you can’t be like a nanny to him. You’re his wife, and everything that you want to do or want to get done from him has to be dealt with in a cooperative and friendly manner. Ordering around or throwing tantrums will only make matters worse.
