What to do? If your husband seems distant, communicate with him to find out what’s causing the disconnect or lack of interest and find opportunities for bonding. If there’s something that you and your husband do together that’s very important to you, it’s critical that you vocalize that. Surprise him with small gifts, words of affirmation, or even a simple “I love you”. Also, when planning a fun date night or much-needed private time as a couple, make sure it’s an activity you both enjoy, so it’s something he’ll never want to miss.
No couple is immune to hardships, so be understanding when it comes to your husband’s struggles, whether they’re physical or emotional. Offer your empathy, show your love and appreciation, and be there for him in any way you can.
