A common problem in many marriages is a lack of couple time. If you have children, particularly young ones, you already know how much of your time and focus they require. An unhappy husband may feel neglected in some ways. It's likely not that he feels resentment towards the children, but that he misses the time you two used to spend together. A great way to remedy this is to pick at least one night a week for adult time. Plan something that includes only you and your spouse. Look to friends or family members to help with the kids. In order to keep the romance between the two of you alive, you do need to devote some attention to it.

Another way to make an unhappy husband happy is to focus on making yourself happier. If you have found yourself overwhelmed with the demands of being a wife, mother and career woman, look for extra help. Often, we take out our frustrations on the person closest to us. In a marriage, that's going to be our husband. Try and deflect your frustrations away from your relationship with your husband. There's nothing wrong with taking a few things off your plate if you know the end result will be a more satisfying and happy marriage.
