5 Ways to Be the Alluring Woman Your Husband Fell For

Staying at a healthy weight is a win for you, for your husband, and for your family as a whole. I was watching a show the other night that takes place during the 1950s. One of the most interesting aspects of the show is the insane length women went to be “the perfect wife,” especially when it came to their looks. The main character would lay in bed until her husband fell asleep and then get up and go to the bathroom to take her makeup off. Then out came the curlers and the mud mask. In the morning, she would wake early and do her makeup and hair before crawling back into bed without her husband knowing. Thank goodness those days are over. But at the same time, I appreciate the effort and it did make me think about how much effort I put into attracting my husband. It’s something I should keep trying to work on every day.

We all want our husbands to be glad they’re married to us, but sometimes our focus is elsewhere or we put our marriage in cruise control. Perhaps it’s time to give our relationship with our husband a little more effort. So think about these tips and see if one or two could help your husband see you as the woman he fell in love with.

1. What caught his attention?

I have friends who have dynamic personalities, and their husbands love them for it! That’s what drew them in when they first met. So, if he fell for your bubbly personality, try to be that girl when you can. Of course, real life can burst your bubbliness on hard days, but don’t lose it entirely.

2. Pay attention to his likes and dislikes.

Some men find longer hair feminine and super-attractive. Others love the look of a woman in sporty athletic gear. If you’re not sure what your guy finds appealing, just ask. Similarly, if you’ve always had a certain look, run it by him before you plop down in the hair stylist’s chair to go in a radical new direction. You may be surprised by what you learn! And, wouldn’t you want him to check in with you before he went Goth or shaved off the beard you love?

3. Five o’clock fix-up.

My husband is a dentist and deals with a lot of bad breath during his day. The last thing I want is for him to come home, lean in for a kiss, and be reminded of the patient who missed a few meetings with his toothbrush! So before you and your husband reconnect at the end of a long day, put your best foot forward. Try to find a bit of energy to reunite with cheerfulness, and don’t underestimate the power of mouthwash!

4. Maintain your health.

Okay, we’re moms, too, and we know how hard this can be through several rounds of childbirth and slowing metabolism. But staying close to a healthy weight is the goal. And yes, we agree that he should love you at any size. But staying at a healthy weight is a win for you, for him, and for your family as a whole. I’ve been super heavy before, and I just wasn’t healthy. I was also that mom at the park who couldn’t keep up with her kids. That made me sad, and not very good company for my husband or my kids.

5. Don’t give up on fashion.

It seems that a lot of moms get into mom-mode and forget everything they ever knew about up-to-date dressing. Admittedly, you don’t have endless hours to peruse fashion magazines and haunt the malls like you did as a single girl, but you can put a little effort into pulling together an age-appropriate look. And, back to item 2 on our list, know what your husband likes. I bought a few hippie fashions before my husband commented one day that he didn’t really like that look! Yes, dress for yourself, but try to keep your husband’s fashion sense in mind too. If he doesn’t have one, lucky you!
