The Four A's of Marriage

The four A's of marriage are:

Attention

Acceptance

Admiration

Affection

Always let your hubby know that he is the most important person in your life.

1. Attention - Give him attention at the best time in the best way he likes it.

Here are some ideas:

Give him a squeeze and a kiss when he comes home from work.

Listen attentively as he talks about his day.

Comment on how great he is.

Look at him when you talk to him.

Sit next to him every chance you get.

Always look for ways to touch him or hold on to him.

Lots of physical touch... like two young people in love.

2. Acceptance - Know that it's not your job to change him but to appreciate him for the man he is.

Ideas:

Accept your husband for who he is today, without expecting any changes.

Focus on his virtues and goodness.

Don't worry about his fault, only look at his good side.

You are the one secure haven where he can be himself, relax, and feel secure

a steady diet of praise.

3. Admiration - Admire his manliness; his masculine skills, abilities, achievements, ideas, dreams, and manly body. He needs admiration. The center of your hubby's happiness in marriage is to be admired.

Ideas:

Tell him you love his strong muscles.

Comment on any and all of his masculine skills (computer, building, finance, fixing things).

Tell him you love his broad shoulders and strong arms.

4. Affection - Always be sweet and kind to him. Show him love and affection.
