Every woman wants to be loved and pampered by her husband. His love and support give her the courage and strength to deal with all adversities and emerge a winner. However, sometimes even though she trusts her relationship, she needs subtle hints to reassure that her husband loves her unconditionally.

If you are experiencing such feelings, this post will help you notice the little signs that express your husband’s love toward you. Read on!

28 Signs That Your Husband Still Loves You

1. He wants to spend time with you. If your husband gets excited about date nights or leisure tea time conversations, then he is genuinely interested in talking to you. The fact that your husband is fascinated by you, wants to be with you and do things together even years after being together, is one of the biggest signs that your husband loves you.

2. He takes care of you. From holding hands to financially supporting you (when you need it), he is there to take care of all your small and big worries. When your man is grounded in his love for you, he will not mind stepping out of his comfort zone to demonstrate that he is capable of understanding your differences and cares about meeting your needs too. He is considerate of your feelings and makes an effort to be there for you in every way he can. He is devoted to your happiness and well-being, going above and beyond to ensure that you feel loved and cared for.

3. He changes your life for the better. The presence of your man makes your life a lot better. For example, you may have had a tough time staying fit or managing your finances. Instead of mocking you or humiliating you for not being disciplined, your husband helps you build a solid workout regime that you can stick to or help you get your finances in order. He is nurturing in his approach, always supporting your dreams and goals and encouraging you to reach your full potential.

4. He shows interest in your life. He is interested in what’s happening in your world. He asks how your day was or what’s happening at your workplace, giving you a chance to share or vent out. He would also genuinely compliment you over your accomplishments and offer advice when you need it, showing that he is appreciative of your efforts and wants to help you succeed.

5. His future includes you. You are a part of his goals and dreams. An endearing and loving husband takes your opinion and considers your convenience before accepting a new job opportunity. You always know what his plans are and that you have a prominent place in them.

6. His actions are never doubtful. He never puts you through the agony of doubting him. He tells you about his whereabouts and does not hide things from you. And if he ever did anything that makes you uncomfortable, he would come out clean and do everything to clear your doubts. Trusting your husband is not difficult, as he is always honest and transparent with you, fostering a strong sense of trust in your relationship.

Point to consider

Long-lasting relationships are not a one-way street. Make sure you also reciprocate his transparency by sharing your whereabouts and are always available to patiently clear their doubts.

7. He seeks your advice. If your man truly loves you, then he would trust you enough to discuss his troubles and fears with you. He wouldn’t mind being vulnerable in front of you. If he is discussing his problems, it means he finds your opinion valuable, and your advice matters a lot to him. When you give him some advice, he accepts it wholeheartedly.

8. He feels sad when you are sad. He may feel as bad as you do when he raises his voice during an argument. Whenever you are sad or depressed, he tries to cheer you up or make it up with you because he is tender and compassionate and seeing you happy is something that makes him happy too.

9. He tries to know your likes and dislikes. When he is attentive to your needs and always keenly listens when you speak, it is one of the biggest signs he cares about you. He asks you questions and remembers the answers. He wants to know what makes you laugh, or what your favorite ice cream flavor is. Not only does he remember the answers, but he also surprises you from time to time by bringing home your favorite ice cream or taking you on a surprise vacation to a place you like.

10. He takes equal responsibility for household chores. He could be a laid back guy by nature, but he does his share of chores without complaining, and may even lend you an extra hand when he sees you overwhelmed with other things. He lets you know, through his actions, that you can always rely on him. He is supportive and wants to make your life easier in any way he can.
