Women Only: 4 ways to make your man open up to you better

Many married women complain of their men not listening to them but not many people talk about the flip side – women who refuse to listen when their men speak.

Men are known to bottle up their feelings but any woman who can get her man to open up certainly knows how to communicate with him well. Truth be told, everyone including the menfolk want to express themselves. Men are as vulnerable as women and communication becomes better when couples help each other to open up.

Inspired by NeCole, here are 4 ways to make your man open up to you better:

1. Ask questions and be supportive

Married women should remember that the more encouraging and supportive you are, the better the type of communication between yourself and your husband. Simple words like ‘how are you’ can calm him down rather pointing out all the things he did wrong.

 

2. Avoid being judgmental

If you judge him for the little mistakes he has admitted to you, how do you expect him to tell you his deepest secrets? You should learn to accept your man for who he is and listen not to be his critic but make him understand that you’re always there for him.

3. Be patient with him

Pressuring him into telling you stuffs would make him hide things more from you. As a married woman, you should let your man have his moment which includes thinking alone sometimes. When he’s ready to talk to you, he definitely will.

 

4. Respect him

The truth is, your man will open up to you if you respect him a lot. If he wants you to stop talking when he is talking then do it. Learn to apologize when you make mistakes when talking to him and handle those who aren’t supposed to be privy to your discussion.
