Misreading Your Husband’s Gestures of Love

May 25, 2023

Do you and your husband have mixed signals when it comes to how you show love? 

Often the way we want love to be communicated and expressed to us is not the way our mate is communicating and expressing their love to us. It’s like we are speaking two different languages. And neither one understands the other. 

Love Communicated in Unique Ways

As I was driving home from a two-week trip, my husband casually mentioned that there was nothing in the refrigerator.  

“I tossed out all the old food and cleaned the fridge,” he explained.

“There’s nothing at all?” I clarified.

“There are two dozen eggs, a gallon of milk, and a loaf of bread.”

“Enough food for a few days,” I responded. 

This is not the first time this has happened. 

Now before you think my husband has given up eating, let me explain that the day before I come home from long trips, he cleans the house, washes clothes, and cleans out the fridge. It’s his way of saying I missed you and I love you. 

How can I get upset when his clearing the fridge of food is motivated by love? 

Well, I can. Because it is not how I show love. It is not what I want to return home to. I dislike grocery shopping and don’t want to do it any sooner than necessary.  

Misreading Your Husband’s Gestures of Love

Sometimes your husband’s actions, words, or gestures do not seem loving, even when he is motivated by love. 

We can be trying to communicate our love for our husbands, or looking for ways they show their love to us. But the signals get crossed and neither one of us can feel the love the other is trying to send. 

Maybe it’s because we not only want something different, but we also naturally choose different ways to communicate our love to them. 

This develops problems and may leave us feeling less loved:  

  • They communicate their love by going to work, but we secretly wish for long talks, flowers, and dates. 
  • We say we love them through snuggles, and they read love as wanting to do an activity together. 
  • They desire words of affirmation, but instead we clean the kitchen. 
  • They chase the children through the house to give us a break when we really want silence and a bath. 
  • We want a frivolous gift; they get us a mixer. 
  • They plan a movie at home, and we want to go out. 

Surely you and your husband have clashed over one of these areas before, and it’s likely due to misreading your husband’s gestures of love.

Reading Love Signals Requires Paying Attention and Choice

I often misread my husband’s attempts and gestures of love.

Yet I know many of his actions are ways he’s trying to connect with me and communicate his love for me. So, I am trying to get better at reading his love notes and appreciate his efforts.  

When I view his actions as done in love, this can change my emotions and thoughts towards his love notes. 

I can view the empty and barren fridge as an inconvenience and as him trying to make my life harder, or I can try to see his perspective. 

It may take looking for clues or asking questions. When I casually asked hubby why he cleared out the fridge, he said it was to help me. 

It was now my choice. I could misread his actions or see them as the love note he meant them to be. 

I hope my story will help you avoid the problem of misreading your husband’s gestures of love and help you see things with a new perspective.

Wife Step: Pay attention to how you and your mate communicate your love for each other. Are your signals misread? How can you better translate each other’s love notes?

    LOTTERY WINNING THAT CHANGE MY LIFE: I’m a 26 year-old man from Toronto and I just won a $60 million lottery jackpot, Life was tough before and I could barely pay the bills. One day, while searching online for ways to improve my life, I came across people sharing how a spell caster named Lord Bubuza helped them win the lottery. I was curious and decided to contact him. He responded quickly and told me what was needed to cast a lottery spell. After the casting of the lottery spell, he gave me some numbers to play. I bought a ticket online using OLG’s “Never Miss a Draw” subscription. A few days later, I got a call from OLG saying I had won $60 million! I was so shocked that I couldn’t speak, my hands and feet went numb and tears of joy rolled down my face. I never thought this could happen to me.

    My name is John Willis from Chester, Virginia, and I recently won $2 million in a Mega Millions draw. I had no idea I was holding the winning ticket, it was actually my girlfriend who encouraged me to double-check. To my surprise, my ticket matched five of the six winning numbers. If I had matched all six, I would’ve won $70 million! I want to express my sincere gratitude to Lord Bubuza, the powerful spell caster who made this possible. After I met his requirements, he cast a lottery spell and later revealed the winning numbers to me. His guidance truly changed my life, and I will forever be thankful for his help. If you’re struggling or hoping for a breakthrough, I highly recommend reaching out to him. Thank you, Lord Bubuza, for turning my dream into reality.

    I am a 53 years old farmer who struggled hard to keep food on the table, When Crops failed my debts grew and hope slowly died. One night, desperate and broken, I came across testimonies online about a spell caster named Lord Bubuza who reveals lottery winning numbers. I contacted him for help and I provided him with the requirement to cast the lottery spell, 3 hours after the lottery spell was casted, he gave me specific numbers to play. I rushed to the nearby lotto store and bought a ticket using those numbers, 2 days later i got a notification that I won $5,123,000. I stood in disbelief, shaking, crying, staring at the numbers on the screen. From barely surviving to becoming a millionaire, it felt unreal. Lord Bubuza didn’t just reveal numbers, he gave me a second chance at life. I’ve paid off my debts, bought new land, and my kids will never suffer like I did. Thank you, Lord Bubuza. You are truly the miracle I prayed for. Join me and thank this great spell caster called lord Bubuza via email: lordbubuzamiraclework@hotmail.com or WhatsApp at +1 365 808 5313 ..

    Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery and I saw many individuals testifying about Priest Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery, and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers which I accepted. I followed all his instructions and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery. I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude and praise to Priest Meduza. If you seek help in your life, Whats_App +1 807-798-3042 or Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or visit: lordmeduzatemple.com

    i promise Dr.Wealthy if my husband come back i will share testimony about him

    My name is Davena, I’m from California in the USA. I want to use this opportunity to thank my great doctor who really made my life a pleasurable one today. This great man Dr.Wealthy brought my husband back to me, i had three lovely kids for my husband, about four years ago my husband and I had been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me for one lady. I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. I tried to be strong just for the kids but I could not control the pains that tormented my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because I was really in love with my husband. Every day and night i think of him and always wish he would come back to me, until one day i met a good friend of mine that was also in a situation like me but her problem was her ex-boyfriend who she had an unwanted pregnancy for and he refused to take responsibility and dumped her. she told me that mine was a small case and that i should not worry about it at all, so i asked her what was the solution to my problems and she gave me this great man email address. i was doubting if this man was the solution, so i contacted this great man and he told me what to do and i did them all, he told me to wait for just two day and that my husband will come crawling on his kneels just for forgiveness so i faithfully did what this great man asked me to do and for sure after two days i heard a knock on the door, in a great surprise i saw him on his kneels and i was speechless, when he saw me, all he did was crying and asking me for forgiveness, from that day, all the pains and sorrows in my heart flew away, since then i and my husband and our lovely kids are happy. that’s why i want to say a big thank you to Dr.Wealthy. This great man made me understand that there is no problem on earth that has no solution so please if you know that you have this same problem or any problem that is similar, i will advise you to come straight to this great man. you can email him at:wealthylovespell@gmail.com
