Does it ever feel like your husband is emotionally disconnected from you?
That he's not there for you when needed the most?
You're certainly not alone.
Many wives share similar experiences and believe that their husbands cannot show any emotion or understanding towards them, but in reality, this isn't true.
Your husband possesses just as much emotional intelligence as you do - they may need help expressing how they are feeling so that you both can better understand each other.
The myth of the "Emotionless Husband"
It's a common misconception that men (especially husbands) can't feel or express emotions.
But being emotionally intelligent is actually incredibly important for all genders, especially when it comes to relationships!
According to research from the University of California Berkeley, having emotional intelligence leads to more satisfying marriages - regardless of whether you're male or female.
So don't let anyone tell you otherwise; emotion matters just as much as logic in life and love!
Reasons why Husbands Keep their Feelings to themselves
While outdated stereotypes may lead us to believe that men lack emotional intelligence, research shows this isn't the case.
Far from it!
In fact, a robust study conducted by UC Berkeley found that emotionally intelligent husbands are much more likely to have lasting and fulfilling marriages - proving how important emotions can be for Men too.
How to Encourage Emotional Expression in your husband
If you’re looking to foster an emotional connection with your husband, there are a few things that can help.
Open communication is key, but a safe space has to be created where he feels comfortable expressing his feelings. Show empathy towards him when he does.
Additionally, it helps if you show vulnerability yourself – being willing to open up about your own emotions sets the example for him to do the same.
Ultimately, when men share their emotions in healthy ways both partners benefit according to Dr. John Gottman's expert advice!
Final Thoughts

Don't believe that his lack of communication means he doesn't care - with patience and an open heart, you both have the opportunity for achieving closer intimacy!
