How to love your husband again like before if there are no feelings anymore

Remember your favorite love films that you enjoyed watching in childhood and youth. Yes, the screen characters had to go through difficulties, quarrels and breakups, but in the end they were reunited, love triumphed, everything ended with a wedding, kisses, a limousine, and at the end there was a curtain and credits. We, as in the scripts of these films, did not think to look anywhere far. Our goal was to find the love of our life, get married, have a child.

Few of us imagined the difficulties that we would face in our future family life. It seems that before our eyes we had parental experience with quarrels, scandals, disagreements, but we thought that everything would be different for us. And they were not ready, but it was necessary that marriage is already work on oneself, and work must be done in a team with your husband. And the marriage will not last on love alone in the first years.

But first, you still need to determine whether there really is a cooling of feelings in your marriage.

What to remember:

Try to be interesting to your husband, become playful and sexy. Have a family dinner together. A romantic atmosphere will help faded feelings flare up with renewed vigor.
Look at yourself, go to the salon, get your hair done, buy a new dress, become interesting and desirable to your man. All in your hands.
Become not only a wife, but also a friend who understands him and is always ready to listen and support. Believe me, it's worth a lot!
To love your spouse again, you will have to work hard, make some efforts and not let everything take its course. Only then will mutual understanding, former sympathy and passion in intimate relationships return to you, and with them happiness and prosperity will again settle in the house.

How do you understand that you have stopped loving your husband? 10 signs of faded feelings

Lately, the thought very often creeps into your head whether you love your husband. Even if at some moment it seems to you that that’s it, you’ve stopped loving your husband, you still need to figure it out. Since the outburst of such emotional thoughts can be elementary women's critical days, constant lack of sleep, fatigue at work, workload at home, poor performance of children at school, conflicts with in-laws in which the husband stands up for his parents.

Let's sort out your “likes and dislikes” and dot the i’s. And ten sure signs that you have stopped loving your husband will help you with this:

You began to prefer solitude rather than the company of your husband. It's better for you to be alone, in your thoughts.

You began to doubt your husband. In his feelings, in yours. Doubts, like an earthworm, eat away at your relationship and jeopardize the existence of your marriage.
You began to prefer solitude rather than the company of your husband. It's better for you to be alone, in your thoughts. Even when the two of you are at home and you are not busy, you prefer to sit alone in the kitchen or in your room, rather than with your husband, discussing your day and plans for the future.
You are very happy when he stays late after work or goes out to work on a day off. Is it true that when you love a person, you want to spend more time together. So it’s worth sounding an alarm bell when you detect this sign.
Your quarrels drag on, and you do not look for a solution to the problem, preferring not to talk for days. When we love a person, we cannot be offended by him for a long time.
At home you don't try to be beautiful for him. You can walk around in an old robe and be unkempt with it. Of course, home clothes in and of themselves do not mean that you have neglected yourself. The point is that you don’t care what way he looks at you, you no longer need his admiring glances. Although you always look your best when going to work or meeting other people. And you rejoice at the compliments of other men and work colleagues. All of the above means that you are no longer attracted to him.
In controversial situations, you take the side of your friends and your parents. In marriage, people should support each other and be a support. Your behavior indicates that there is a chill in your relationship, and you urgently need to start treating your relationship. Before it’s too late, you can still rekindle extinguished feelings and revive your love.
You don't share your plans for the future with your husband. In the past, when you were considering a job change, for example, you always consulted with your husband. And now you make all such decisions yourself. On the one hand, this is good, you are the decision maker. But you are a family and a team, and you always need to act in a way that benefits both of you, and think about how this will affect the family. Apparently, your relationship has cracked, and it is necessary to rekindle your feelings for your husband again, and we will soon tell you how to do this.
You are no longer jealous of your husband. At some general event, you gladly send him a woman and do everything for them to communicate. And you yourself, without wasting time, flirt with another man. Let this be just a conversation. Of course, this is possible if there is absolute trust between the spouses. But think, maybe behind this lies your complete indifference to your husband. You are unconsciously interested in other men. If behind this lies some kind of hidden resentment towards your husband, then even this bell can be eliminated and your love for your husband can be resurrected.
Everything about him began to irritate you: his speech, his demeanor, the way he dresses, his antics, his facial expressions, everything irritates you. You don’t want intimacy with him as before, his smell is repulsive, and marital duty is perceived by you as hard labor that must be done because it is necessary. Therefore, you come up with excuses in every possible way to avoid it. Even if you discover these signs, do not rush to pack your bags. Perhaps the reason is “an elementary habit” in the words of the heroine of the film “Love and Doves” Lyudmila Gurchenko. And we'll talk about this habit later. What to do to warm up your love for your husband.
Last point. Very important for a woman. You no longer expect a call from him, don’t call yourself. And when he calls, you get irritated and try to end the conversation quickly. You are very happy when he hasn’t called you once all day. Of course, you can refer to your busyness and justify yourself in your own eyes. But think back to the days when you first started dating. How impatiently you waited for his call on Friday to ask you out on a date. You forgot about urgent work and other matters; the moment he called you, the entire outside world ceased to exist, and you indulged in happy chatter with your future chosen one, discussing plans for the weekend. Do you remember these moments now, do you want to return everything? Then read on and we will tell you how to fall in love with your husband again.

What not to do to make your husband fall in love

If you do not want to completely kill your husband’s love and speed up the breakdown of the relationship, do not swear under any circumstances, do not raise your voice or throw tantrums. Don't blame a man for lack of attention.

Don’t be offended for any reason, ignore the unpleasant phrase or laugh it off. If your husband forgot about a significant date, don’t be angry.

Organize the holiday yourself by inviting a man to join you.

Do not blackmail your spouse with children, sex, home comfort or food. Otherwise, you risk alienating the man completely. Don't turn children against their father. Do not deny your husband intimacy.

Don't burden your spouse with useless conversations. Do not discuss pregnancy, childbirth and all kinds of gynecological problems. Build your dialogue wisely. Ask the man about his working day, achievements and failures, talk about something interesting to both of you.

Don't highlight your husband's shortcomings. Trying to correct long-established habits will only make you angry. If, after several years of marriage, a man has not learned to put dirty socks in a laundry basket or smoke only on the balcony, then all he has to do is accept it or perceive the situation with humor.

Do not perform procedures to improve your appearance in front of your husband. Depilation, applying masks, even innocent makeup scares off most men. Many representatives of the stronger sex believe that a woman’s beauty is natural and does not require adjustments.

Don't discuss relationships with parents, children, or mutual friends.

Solve any problems that arise directly with your spouse. Intervention by a third party will only make the situation worse.

Reasons for the disappearance of love. 15 main factors

And so, dear readers, we found out with you what the signs are that you have stopped loving your husband. Now let's figure out why love leaves in marriage.

One of the reasons is constant scandals in the house

One of the reasons may be the presence of constant quarrels and scandals in the house.
When people get married because the girl is pregnant, and not because of mutual consent.
This marriage was too early, when both were absolutely not ripe for adult family life, and now an epiphany has come.
Often girls marry “just a good man”, fearing never to meet the love of their life again. At first, the marriage is still supported by these thoughts, and then it begins to collapse like a castle in the air.
The change in the husband's appearance is not for the better. He gained weight, went bald, and stopped taking care of himself.
My husband's addiction to alcoholic beverages. When my husband often comes home from work drunk, he gets together with friends. And these are no longer one-time cases, but permanent ones.
The husband became interested in roulette and is losing the entire family budget.
Solving family issues with fists on the part of the husband. Perhaps more often he lets his hands go under the influence of alcoholic intoxication.
Poor relationships with your husband’s mother, father, sister or brother and other relatives.
When my husband doesn't come home to spend the night.
Absolutely opposing interests.
When intimate life has practically disappeared
When the wife fell in love with another man.
When the husband cheated on his wife, and she cannot cope with the pain and resentment caused by her husband’s betrayal. Read more about this situation in our article: What to do if your husband cheats and lies, but doesn’t want to leave, says he loves you.
When the wife wants to have children, but the husband does not.

Stop criticizing your spouse

A meticulous critic who will find a lot of shortcomings and reasons for irritation in her husband lives in almost every woman. Coach Vadim Kurkin advises getting rid of this habit or turning complaints into constructive criticism.

When you make a comment, combine it with praise. This will help soften the criticism and not make your husband feel offended. When expressing reproaches, never get personal, use “I-messages” (“I was upset when my favorite cup broke”). Make critical comments only in a calm state.

How to get your wife's love back

If the wife’s feelings towards her husband have cooled down due to his addiction to alcohol, gambling, or because he began to often raise his hand against his wife and children, while shouting insults. Then, perhaps, in this situation, divorce is one of the forced decisions.

Often women maintain such relationships for the sake of children. But let's face it, is raising children in such unfavorable conditions the best solution for them? Of course, divorce is not easy for a child’s vulnerable psyche, but on the other hand, growing up in a family where dad and mom are not happy, where the father often drinks and beats the mother in front of them, is an even worse way out of this situation.

Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of female loneliness or the inability to cope alone with children without a husband. In such a marriage, you will drown in deep depression, you will be tormented by guilt, your life will be ruined. All this together will affect the psyche of your children.

If the reason for the loss of love for your husband was his betrayal, and you do not know what to do in this case, I advise you to read our article: What to do if your husband cheats and lies, but does not want to leave, says that he loves.

But it should be noted that there are a larger number of families where the husband became addicted to the bottle, began to play on the side or raise his hand to his wife, but at the same time they dealt with this problem together, reset their relationship and started all over again.

If the reason for the cooling of feelings for her husband was his external changes not for the better, then the wife can casually hint to her husband to take up sports. Or you can take the initiative yourself:

Biking together strengthens relationships

Buy a membership to the gym, fitness center, or swimming pool.
If your husband categorically does not want to exercise in public, you can offer him walking together around the area, in the nearest park, around ponds. You can buy Scandinavian poles and walk together. This is very useful not only for the figure, but also for cardiac activity and the general condition of the body.
Offer him bike rides together or with the whole family, and in winter skiing, cheesecake riding down the hill.

Also, if you are concerned about your husband's extra pounds, reconsider what you cook for your husband and switch to a low-calorie diet. But the main rule, remember, you need to burn more calories than you absorb. Therefore, diet plus exercise will give positive results. Also convince your husband that excess weight is harmful to health and that the heart muscle suffers. And if he doesn’t think about himself, let him think about his wife and children. But never forget that appearance changes over the years, this is natural, and the main thing you need to remember is that you fell in love first of all with the spiritual qualities of your husband.

When the reason for the cooling of a wife’s feelings lies in her infatuation with another man, then returning her former feelings to her husband is not such an easy task. If a woman understands that a relationship on the side is love and uncontrollable passion, but she does not plan anything serious with another man, she needs to pull herself together and leave him, return to her husband. In many cases, a woman cannot cope with her feelings and the alienation from her husband only intensifies.

Features of male behavior

When a relationship breaks down, each partner experiences it differently. If the husband is silent, this does not mean that he does not notice anything. Most often, it is easier for men to hush up the problem and try to solve it mentally.

A woman must understand that internal experiences will also be reflected in the behavior of her husband. “Freezing” the situation until better times and living according to the rules is not an option. In order not to aggravate the problem, you should sort out your thoughts and decide: to break off the relationship or think about how to fall in love with your own husband again.

Why do feelings and emotions become dull? How to love your husband again? Why did you lose feelings for your husband?

What is love briefly and clearly in your own words? How do we feel love?

Love is a feeling of incredible attraction to a person, which is based on the desire to always be close to your loved one, see him and share mutual emotions with him. The key word is emotions. It is through emotions, through the emotional state that we feel the manifestation of love and understand that we are in love with a person.

It is these emotional experiences, such as, for example, “I’m afraid of losing him,” “I look at him and feel delight,” that make us understand that we have fallen head over heels in love with this person. And on his part we also see an emotional manifestation of love, when he worries whether he has offended with his words, his concern makes us understand that the love is mutual. But we must understand that emotion is not the feeling itself, it is a reaction, such an emotional outburst from something that we did not expect at all

But, unfortunately, our brain is addictive. The longer we are with a person, the more often we can predict in advance all his further actions. We know what he will say, what he will do, what kind of night of love it will be, how he will kiss you. And since we can predict all this, then no new emotions arise in us about this person, and the old ones are dulled.

Imagine the situation, you are scrolling through your feed on a social network, and a very funny GIF catches your eye, you are indescribably delighted, you get a sea of positive emotions. The next day you go to the page again and the first thing you see is again this top, very funny GIF, but from a different group. You smile sweetly. The GIF is really funny and gives you a positive feeling from it. Then you see that your friend added this GIF to himself. You are watching this video again. It's still funny. But when you see this picture for the third, fourth, fifth time, not only is it not funny, you already say: enough, I’ve already seen this gif, it’s clear what will be there and it’s not at all interesting.

So it is with the rest of our emotions.

What a person used to do for us, and we were in seventh heaven, now we take it for granted.

For example, when you were still dating, you decided to cook dinner together, he brought food. And you think: what a great guy he is, he takes care of me, wants to feed me, how nice it is. You have been married for a year, you are used to him always buying and bringing food himself, but he will try not to bring it, you get angry, how can this be, he has always done this.

What a person used to do for us, and we were in seventh heaven, now we take it for granted, as something ordinary and self-evident.

There is no love without emotions

This is precisely why feelings and emotions become dulled. We know each other like crazy, we don’t give each other any emotions, we don’t give, we don’t accept from another person. And love is fueled solely by emotions.

Emotions are the fuel for feelings, without them love is just a formality, just a word, only on emotions does love live and develop, and thereby a marriage grows stronger and relationships strengthen.

Perhaps this is why couples often completely unconsciously arrange quarrels and scandals for each other in order to incite these very emotions and get a more violent reconciliation and return passion to the relationship.

But I wouldn’t want to resort to such aggressive ways to rekindle extinguished feelings. Making scandals on purpose is not the best way to create an emotional outburst in a relationship.

Make surprises

Stable relationships differ from nascent love in their predictability. At the beginning of a relationship, partners get to know each other. They feel newness in everything and do not know how the chosen one will behave in a given situation.

Bringing this feeling back into your married life is quite simple. Give your husband pleasant surprises more often: cook unusual dinners, give compliments for no particular reason, write loving messages.

This behavior will bring the missing novelty to the relationship and stimulate the spouse to take reciprocal initiative.

Assessing the situation

When trying to decide whether to save a marriage or not, you need to soberly assess the situation. If you have doubts about your own feelings, you should concentrate on the signs of cooling in a couple:

I don’t want to spend a lot of time with my partner like in the old days.
His laughter, the way he eats, little things like socks scattered around the apartment and his reluctance to wash the dishes are annoying.
His kisses and touches do not cause awe.
Memories of him appear less and less throughout the day.
After quarrels, there are no attempts to ask for forgiveness and make peace.
A woman compares her husband with other men.

If all points or their predominant part coincide, then urgent rehabilitation of feelings is necessary. To check whether love remains or whether the relationship has completely outlived its usefulness, it is worth imagining the loss of your spouse for a second and analyzing the emotions that arose at that moment.
