Reviving your relationship takes a concentrated effort, but you can speed it along with these juicy tips to make him see green! Time can take a toll on your marriage. After the first few honeymoon months, you will notice the ‘magic’ and ‘romance’ fade away a little. Your man may hardly notice when you walk into the room. He’s too busy watching the football game or just sitting there doing nothing. When that happens you know it’s time to do something about it!
Day 1: Mirror, mirror on the wall…
Take a good look at yourself. When was the last time you had a sexy haircut? Get an appointment with your hair salon for a body wax, manicure and a pedicure. You can’t make anyone jealous if you look like a yellow toothed gorilla. Add some color to your hair and look clean, healthy and ready to take on the world.
Day 2: Pamper yourself a bit
Remember the money you’re saving up to buy him a new tie? Spend it! Buy a pair of elegant black pumps. Move over to the lingerie section and get something strappy, a little bold but not too flashy. Subtlety works like magic! When you get home, leave the package at some obvious location. You don’t have to open it all out. Just leave a little bit of lace peeping out of the cover. Don’t mention it when your man comes home. Don’t even wear it for the next week. He’ll wonder why you bought such awesome innerwear when you were not planning to use it!
Day 3: Girls day out
Avoid sitting at home and calling up your man to ask him when he’s coming back from home. Be independent. Get a hobby to keep your occupied. Find friends who are not common to his. Make plans to keep you busy in the evenings. You want him to know that you have a life and that you are a happy and independent women of the 21st century. If he doesn’t have time for you, then you are not going to wait around forever.

Day 4: Join a gym
Make sure that the gym that you join is unisex. Mention in passing the names of a couple of ‘male’ friends and how they’re so regular to the gym. Also mention how you appreciate that they’re putting so much effort into looking good. If you have a personal trainer, then all the better! Don’t forget to talk about his biceps.
Excellent list! I really like number 6.
Its sems grt idea bt my man is lokng more to his 1st wife although he says he dnt like her bt stil
item number 6 is a great idea. =)
Except Day 6 all ideas are good. Am I right in presuming that those who think 6 is a good idea are just looking for an extra marital relationship because their married life has become dull and lifeless? Why do you want to get yourself or your single neighbour killed? Think again!
Naughty, naughty!
The underlying message here’s got to be self confidence.
If you feel great you’ll BE great and he’ll think you’re great.
I’d take care playing too many games though. Aren’t we all after an honest, loving relationship rather than a soap opera?
You can’t really expect honesty from some poor bloke you’ve just spent the last week toying with like a cat with a mouse!
I don’t know what desperate guys this plan is supposed to work on but this plan would get me seriously in the frame of mind for a divorce.
You ladies want a real simple plan to get your man to treat you how you deserve?
Take care of yourself. If you expect him to continue to be Prince Charming then you need to continue to be his Princess.
If something isn’t working for you in the relationship, TELL HIM ABOUT IT! Is open and honest communication so difficult that people can’t do it with the person you took a vow to spend the rest of your life with them? If you can’ openly and honestly communicate with someone don’t waste your time and their’s by marrying them.
No wonder why women have such a hard time in relationships, they read this crap.
this list isn’t all that bad….taking care of yourself, making sure you look pretty for your guy, changing your hairstyle or updating your wardrobe, having your own hobbies and passion in life, not forgetting your friends and not making your man your entire reason for being but still making sure he knows he’s loved and that you’ll always make the effort to take care of him, these are all fun and healthy ways for a woman in a relationship to become a more balanced and well-rounded person and partner, but i really didn’t like number 5 and 6 on the list………those advice just sound manipulative and lame, i totally get what Brian was saying too! just be loving and take good care of yourself and your man and you wouldn’t even be thinking up ways to make him jealous because you’d be having so much fun with each other :)
These tips are a good way to piss off a guy and make him wish you would trust him, but I don’t see them reviving your relationship unless the man is really timid and unsure of himself.
Manipulation is not the way to fix any relationship. Is it so hard to TALK to your husband / boyfriend? Be honest and kind, be reasonable and rational, let him have his space and don’t be clingy. If you act like this article says, you’ll be single even more quickly than you would have been before.
Noone needs to put so much effort in a relationship that is working out. Ladies, be nice to your man. You’d never want to dream of him doing all these things to you. I think this is a recipe for divorce, unless if he’s that desperate.
Wow, this is terrible, awful advice.
Want to have a mature meaningful adult relationship? Then stop reading crap like this and try being a mature adult. It’s really not that hard.
If you’re dumb enough to actually try these ridiculous mind games you deserve to get left. Then you can go to the bar with all your other single girlfriends who also got left and whine about how there are no good men out there.
Pathetic. Just pathetic.
Maybe a 12 year old wrote it? I think going out of your way to make someone jealous is just wrong. I don’t see anything wrong with taking care of yourself, but it seems the insecure one would be the girl that does damaging hurt to her man. My advice?
Let your man know you think he’s great and praise the little things he does for you. (He will then want to please you more). Yes, do the most with your looks, but don’t become superficial and uppity. Nobody likes UPPITY, selfish, *itchy women.
Looks or not, they don’t score high.
and most importantly…be a kind, loving, generous woman. A man will LOVE you for that.

Plz i need help:
I am married and I have been having problems with my husband bcoz I dont feel secure and I feel jealous from everything. Problems became bigger until I decided to tell him that “yes I feel unsecure because of problems in my childhood) and I told him that I need his help to overcome this.
He understood, but now and then I regret telling him that because I keep hearing from other women that you should not show your husband that you are weak!!
What do you think?
I keep hearing from other women that you should not show your husband that you are weak!! —> This does not sound right. A relationship is not a battle. You and your husband are not opponents and taking advantage of the other’s weakness is not right.
There is a post here Allwomenstalk about love blogs. SOme of those might help you.
Thanks Meream, that was helpful
I have another question (for otehr women as well): is it normal that your husband still keeps in touch with ex-girlfriends from long time ago? (Say that trust is not the problem here as you trust him 100%- but it is just the principle of it)? Could you met his x-girlfriends and act like friends? if they were an item in the past, is it possible that they became friends after they knew that the relationship did not work out? could love turn into a friendship if the relationship did not work?
Lily, I am friends with my exes. It is perfectly possible. I guess your question stems from your jealousy issues, too. You have to remember that while it may be ideal for you and your husband to be the ONLY friends you each know, it is healthy for to have friends outside the marriage. This friendship can be with exes or other girls.
I understand. and I agree with you about having friends out side the marriage which we already do. But my problem is that how can you sit on a table with someone you know that your partner had shared things with including bed?! I may be sensitive, and to me it just does not sound right.
Thank for your constant reply :) am really happy to talk to you!
Well, you don’t have to hang out with your husband’s ex if it makes you uncomfortable. :) That’s perfectly understandable.
I’m glad you like my ideas. I hope I am helping you in any way. :)
dnt follow the trend,be yourself,love him the way u want,be free with him and don`t pretend.
well, i did the mistake of cutting him aggressively of his ex, and now 17 years after its coming back big time, like emails containing i miss you and stuff like that. apparently i should have red this article many years ago i did all the mistakes, i neglected my looks, waited at home, dependent on him, became jealous and sour, obviously we are on the verge of splitting but we have kids together so we take our time to try to work this thing, and about the no 6 issue, i know its not very mature but it worked for me…
