Men are taught to be strong from childhood, but nothing human is alien to them.
And the more tolerant and wise a woman is towards her partner’s weaknesses, the more both will benefit from it.
The label of the stronger sex limits men in many ways. They cannot cry at a touching moment in a film, miss a friend with whom they have lost contact, or be homesick because they have moved.
Taboo is imposed not only on sentimentality: excessive passion for a hobby or the desire to sit in front of the TV after work are also often perceived negatively. "You're a man!" - which means you should be the first in everything, always be in line, not allow yourself to become weak, rest for a long time, etc.
But men still had, have and will have weaknesses. But if you treat them correctly, you can turn them to your advantage.
Tears are normal
Woe to the one who was teased as a whiner in childhood. This stigma was firmly and permanently attached, it was feared more than anything. "Be patient!" - said dad. "Don't cry, you're a man," - echoed mom.
Such a boy grew up with the habit of keeping everything to himself. Not complaining, not showing weakness.
Accumulated grievances, disappointments, tears. Until one day he ended up in the hospital with a heart attack or stroke. Because the emotions that are stuck inside and unexpressed really affect the heart and blood vessels.
If you don't want to treat your partner, restore his mental balance, pull him out of the harmful addictions that such resilience often results in, legalize emotions in the family. Show your man that tears are not weakness, but a sign of a big heart. And sometimes you can not even notice them.
Encourage your partner to talk about their feelings, to show emotions. Show that they can be themselves around you.
Who can resist women?
That's how men are: they can't help but notice an attractive lady. When a gentleman is free, he will try to get acquainted, and if he is busy, he will limit himself to silent admiration.
Women think that it is impossible to get bonuses from a partner's excessive attention to the weaker sex, but this is not so. The task is simply to draw that increased attention not to the surrounding beauties, but to yourself! How? It would not hurt to think about style, self-care, self-development. When there is a stunning queen nearby, a man will willingly hang around her, and not other ladies.
Hobbies are not just for women
It is generally accepted that a hobby is a woman's story. It is women who are interested in embroidery, calligraphy, drawing, making beaded bracelets. But what kind of hobby can a man have?
Unfortunately, the hobby of the stronger sex is often associated with addiction. A striking example of this is computer games. Hobby? Of course! But there is no benefit: it only takes time, energy and deprives the harmony in marriage.
Therefore, try to maintain even a weak interest in your partner in any harmless hobby, be it fishing, dismantling old cars or collecting toy soldiers.
A man may not admit to himself how his soul is yearning for such an exciting activity, because it is “not manly”. Nevertheless, it is in such activities that the stronger sex often finds an outlet, an opportunity to communicate informally, to express themselves.
On the couch with a beer? Anything but that!
Another weakness of the stronger sex is to have a good rest after a working day. Women tend to devalue and criticize such rest, because they also work, but at the same time they have to cook dinner and do homework with the children.
However, men are different from women: sometimes they just need to “hang out” in idleness, to free their brains from thoughts.
To prevent this from becoming a habit and damaging family relationships, it is advisable to control such recreation.
For example, agree that your spouse will rest for the legal half hour in the evening, and then switch on to family mode. Or plan a joint vacation: devote time after work to dinner and children, and watch a good comedy before bed. Together!
Who's the boss in the house?
Even those men who advocate for equality, deep down dream of the status of "master of the house". This fuels the male ego, allows him to feel like the leader of the pack, gives him the opportunity to control everything.
Sometimes it is enough for a woman to give in to her partner in some small thing for him to feel a surge of strength and energy. So why not do it? A little feminine trick will allow you to awaken a man's leadership instincts. Be happy!
