Everyone knows that no relationship is perfect—even the happiest couples have to make sacrifices and negotiate now and then. Still, it’s natural to dream about the ideal relationship, where everything goes smoothly without a hitch.

Many women dream about their ‘prince charming’ and a perfect home, even if they know these dreams won’t come true exactly as imagined. What might surprise you is that men, too, have dreams of a perfect wife and a wonderful life together. Your partner might not come out and say what he hopes for, but understanding his dreams can help you both get closer to that ideal. Here are eight things your husband secretly wants from you.

1. He Likes When You Surprise Him

Your husband will be delighted by your efforts to surprise him. It can be anything from preparing a romantic dinner, planning an exciting trip, or even drawing his portrait. The possibilities are endless!

2. He Likes When You Are Honest with Him

Men value honesty deeply. While it might seem difficult to be completely open, considering everyone has some secrets, men cherish trustful and sincere relationships. Strive to be honest and open with your partner, which will encourage him to do the same with you.

3. He Likes Having Deep Conversations with You

Men appreciate finding someone with whom they can have deep and meaningful conversations. Respect his thoughts, discuss fascinating books, and engage in intellectual games together.

4. He Likes When You Care About Him

After a long day at work, a man wants to feel cared for. This could mean coming home to his favorite meal, receiving a warm kiss, and having a chance to relax. Though he may not usually admit it, men enjoy being cared for as it allows them to unwind.

5. He Likes When You Take Care of Yourself

All men admire confident women. When you take care of yourself and love yourself, your confidence naturally shines through.

6. He Wants to Know That You’re Happy

Hearing that his woman is happy gives any man a boost. Don’t hesitate to let your husband know how happy you are in your marriage; your relationship will be all the stronger for it.

7. He Wants You to Trust Him

Men need space just as much as anyone else, which can sometimes be hard for women to understand. If your husband wants to hang out with his friends, trust him and let him. Building mutual trust will benefit both of you.

8. He Likes Being Valued

Men appreciate not being scolded about the little things, like leaving the toilet seat up. While patience can sometimes be difficult, focusing on building him up and making him feel valued will benefit your relationship. Remember, he tries to do the same for you.

Your husband might not openly express that he desires these eight things, but meeting some of these needs can make both him and your relationship happier and stronger.
