Women don't even notice!

Men can sometimes have trouble opening up about their feelings and thoughts. Most men want to tell their wives what they really, really love about them, but find the words hard to say. If your husband is not giving you words of affirmation but shows you his feelings in other ways, he probably wants you to read this list.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - You make him smile and you make him want to be near you but he'll never admit it. Crosswalk.com has a list of things married men claim they secretly love the most about their wives and here are Catholic Online's favorite seven:

1. Attraction and affirmation

Men will never admit it but they need to feel attractive to you. Your husband may not get dressed up or wear cologne, but he loves it when you compliment him. Whether you say you think he's attractive or thank him for throwing the trash, he'll feel like more secure and drawn to you.

2. Confidence

Husbands generally don't care about the "flaws" most women magnify in accordance to popular beauty standards. What he cares about deeply is your ability to carry yourself with confidence in both your personal life and your relationships. Men love it when you embrace situations and move forward, regardless of what other people think.

3. Flirtation and initiation

He loves it when you flirt with him! When you initiate physical or emotional intimacy, it makes your husband feel he is still attractive to you and he gets to experience your confidence in yourself. He won't tell, but he loves it when you hug him, kiss him, give him a flirtatious look or joke, and he especially loves it when you surprise him. 

4. Mystery

Your husband likes learning something new about you spontaneously. All spouses want to know everything about each other but some things can remain a mystery for a little while. Coming across a secret tickle spot or learning certain dislikes are oddly cute to most men, moreso when they discover it for themselves. 

5. Positivity and dependability

The two go hand-in-hand. Men love it when their wives are positive and dependable. While they are not likely to complain about your occasional negativity, they love knowing you are a strong woman capable of an equal portion in the relationship. Husbands love kind words and gestures from their wives, and are thankful for the commitment she shows in the marriage. 

When he is feeling down, your positive attitude brings him up. When he needs a partner, you're there. Remember, men love standing on equal footing with their wives.

6. Differences

They say opposites attract and while that is debatable, it is true that husbands love their wives for being at least a little different from themselves. It is attractive to men when their wives compliment them. For example, if a man likes going to see movies and a woman likes to go out for dinner, the two can enjoy a great date night together!

You don't need to be polar opposites to be attracted to your spouse, but men love when they learn about how their wife sees the world and interacts with people around her. You may not know it, but just being yourself if all a man really wants!

7. Devotion to God

A woman of God is certainly a jewel and a beacon of light. He won't probably tell you but he loves it when you walk with him to God as you move with love, kindness, faith and trust. God made each man and woman unique and does not want anyone to be alone. When you show that God is the center of your relationship, your husband loves you all the more for it.

Though men and women's perspectives can differ, the overall reason a man loves his wife is because she completes him and vice verse. Finding someone to learn about and grow with is one way a man and woman can come together before God. If your husband has a hard time telling you how he feels, just remember that although words are necessary sometimes, you don't have to worry about a thing. He loves you from the inside out!
