How To Make Your Husband Miss You (Even When You Live Together)

Living together is one of marriage’s greatest joys, but let’s be honest: constant proximity can sometimes dull the spark that once made your hearts race. You remember those early dating days when a few hours apart felt like an eternity, when anticipation electrified every reunion, and when your partner couldn’t wait to see you again. That intoxicating feeling of being missed doesn’t have to disappear just because you share a home, a bed, and a Netflix account.

The paradox of modern marriage is that we can be physically closer than ever while feeling emotionally distant. You might wake up next to your husband every morning, yet find yourself longing for the passion and attentiveness he once showed. The good news? Making your husband miss you isn’t about playing games or creating artificial distance. It’s about rekindling the mystery, independence, and magnetism that drew him to you in the first place.

As a relationship expert, I’ve helped countless couples rediscover the excitement in their marriages, and I can tell you this: making your husband miss you while living together is not only possible, it’s transformative. It’s about becoming the woman he fell in love with while evolving into an even more captivating version of yourself. Ready to reignite that longing? Let’s dive into the psychology and practical strategies that will make you irresistible all over again.

Understanding the Psychology of Missing Someone

Before we explore the how, let’s understand the why. Missing someone isn’t just about physical absence; it’s a complex emotional experience rooted in desire, anticipation, and perceived value. When you first started dating, scarcity created desire. Limited time together made every moment precious. Your husband’s brain released dopamine when he thought about seeing you, creating a powerful association between you and pleasure.

Marriage changes this dynamic. Constant availability can paradoxically decrease perceived value, not because you’re less valuable, but because human psychology craves what feels slightly out of reach. This doesn’t mean you should become unavailable or play hard to get. Instead, it means maintaining enough individuality and unpredictability that your presence remains a gift, not a given.

The concept of “intermittent reinforcement” from behavioral psychology is key here. When rewards come unpredictably rather than constantly, they create stronger emotional responses. In practical terms, this means that being consistently engaging and occasionally surprising creates more longing than being perpetually available and predictable.

Additionally, missing someone involves imagination and idealization. When you’re apart, your husband fills in the gaps with positive projections. He remembers your best qualities, anticipates your reunion, and appreciates what he doesn’t have in the moment. Creating space for this mental process is essential, even when you share a home.

Reclaim Your Independence and Personal Identity

One of the most powerful ways to make your husband miss you is to become fully yourself again. Many women unconsciously lose parts of their identity in marriage, molding themselves to fit their partner’s needs or their idea of what a wife should be. While compromise is healthy, complete self-abandonment is not.

Start by reconnecting with activities and passions that existed before your relationship or that you’ve always wanted to explore. Did you love painting? Take an evening art class. Were you an avid reader? Join a book club that meets weekly. Always wanted to learn salsa dancing or rock climbing? This is your moment.

The goal isn’t to exclude your husband from your life but to cultivate interests that are distinctly yours. When you have your own pursuits, several magical things happen. First, you become more interesting. You have new stories to share, fresh perspectives to offer, and an energy that comes from personal fulfillment. Second, you’re not always available, which naturally creates moments of absence. Third, you signal that you’re a complete person with or without him, which paradoxically makes you more attractive.

I once worked with Sarah, who felt invisible in her marriage. She had stopped doing yoga, quit her pottery hobby, and declined girls’ nights to always be available for her husband. When she started reclaiming these activities, something shifted. Her husband noticed her renewed vitality and found himself curious about what she did during her pottery classes. He started missing her presence during those hours and looked forward to her returns with renewed interest.

Create a schedule that includes regular time for yourself. This might be a weekly class, a standing coffee date with friends, or simply time alone to pursue your interests. Communicate this to your husband not as a rejection, but as self-care that makes you a better, happier partner. When you’re fulfilled individually, you bring more joy and energy to your relationship.

Master the Art of Strategic Absence

Strategic absence doesn’t mean disappearing or being cold. It means being thoughtful about creating moments of anticipation and longing through intentional separation, even within your shared life.

Consider the rhythm of your daily interactions. If you’re always in the same room every evening, sitting on the couch together scrolling through your phones, there’s no absence to create longing. Instead, occasionally choose to read in another room, take an evening walk alone, or work on a project that requires focus. These small separations give your husband a chance to notice your absence and appreciate your presence.

Weekend getaways with friends are particularly powerful. A girls’ weekend or a solo retreat doesn’t signal problems in your marriage; it signals confidence and independence. While you’re away, your husband experiences life without you. He handles responsibilities you typically manage, sleeps in an empty bed, and is reminded of all the ways you enhance his life. When you return refreshed and happy, he’s more likely to greet you with genuine enthusiasm and renewed appreciation.

One strategy I recommend is the “surprise evening out.” Once or twice a month, make plans without your husband that you announce casually but enthusiastically. “I’m meeting Jennifer for dinner and a movie on Thursday” signals that you have a full life and gives him an evening to miss you. The key is to be genuinely excited about your plans, not to use them as a test or punishment.

Business trips or family visits also present opportunities. If you travel for work or visit relatives, embrace these separations positively. Send a thoughtful text or two, but don’t maintain constant contact. Let him wonder what you’re doing, miss hearing your voice, and look forward to your return. The absence should feel like space, not abandonment.

Remember, strategic absence works because it breaks routine and creates anticipation. It reminds your husband that you’re a separate person with your own life, and that makes you infinitely more interesting than someone who’s always predictably available.

Cultivate Mystery and Unpredictability

Humans are fascinated by what they don’t fully understand. In the beginning of your relationship, your husband didn’t know everything about you. Each date revealed new layers, and that discovery process was thrilling. You can recreate that sense of mystery by maintaining some privacy and unpredictability in your marriage.

This doesn’t mean keeping secrets or being dishonest. It means not sharing every single thought, not giving a detailed account of every moment of your day, and occasionally surprising him with unexpected behavior. If you typically answer his texts immediately, sometimes wait an hour. If you usually tell him everything about your day, occasionally keep some details to yourself. If he expects you to be watching TV on Thursday night, surprise him by being engrossed in a new hobby when he comes home.

Unpredictability extends to your appearance, routines, and reactions. If you always wear yoga pants at home, occasionally dress up for no reason. If you typically cook dinner, spontaneously suggest ordering in so you can spend time differently. If he expects you to react one way to something, surprise him with a different response. These small variations keep him on his toes and maintain an element of “I don’t completely know what she’ll do next,” which is incredibly attractive.

One of my clients, Michelle, started learning French in secret. She would study while her husband was at work or after he went to bed. After three months, she casually dropped a French phrase during conversation. Her husband was stunned and intrigued. “When did you learn that?” he asked with obvious admiration. This unexpected skill made her seem more complex and interesting, rekindling his curiosity about her.

You can also cultivate mystery through selective disclosure. Share your feelings and experiences, but not always immediately and not always completely. Let him discover things about you organically. Leave a new book on the nightstand and let him wonder what you’re reading. Take up a new interest and let him notice gradually. This creates layers for him to uncover, making you endlessly fascinating.

The goal is to be knowable but never completely known, present but never entirely predictable. This balance keeps desire alive because your husband continues discovering new dimensions of who you are.

Prioritize Your Appearance and Self-Care

Let’s address something important: making an effort with your appearance isn’t shallow or anti-feminist. It’s about self-respect, confidence, and honoring your relationship. When you look good, you feel good, and that energy is magnetic.

Many women relax their appearance standards after marriage, which is natural and understandable. Comfort is important. However, if you’ve stopped putting effort into how you look, your husband may stop noticing you in that special way. This doesn’t mean you need to wear full makeup at home or dress uncomfortably, but it means being intentional about your appearance.

Start with small changes. Instead of wearing worn-out clothes around the house, choose outfits that make you feel attractive and confident. Get a haircut that makes you feel fresh and beautiful. Wear a scent he complements. Take care of your skin, exercise for your health and confidence, and dress in ways that make you feel like your best self.

Here’s the psychological key: when you look good, you don’t just look good for him; you look good for yourself. This self-regard translates into confidence, and confidence is undeniably attractive. Your husband will notice when you’re taking care of yourself, and he’ll wonder if there’s a reason. This gentle mystery (“Why is she putting in extra effort?”) creates intrigue and reminds him to appreciate what he has.

Self-care extends beyond appearance. It includes how you treat your mind, body, and spirit. Regular exercise, healthy eating, adequate sleep, meditation, therapy if needed, pursuing personal growth—all of these create a woman who is vibrant, energetic, and fulfilled. This vitality is far more attractive than physical appearance alone.

I’m not suggesting you need to be perfect or fit some unrealistic standard. I’m suggesting that you deserve to feel good about yourself, and when you do, your husband notices. He sees a woman who values herself, and that’s incredibly appealing. It also subtly reminds him that others might notice too, which can reignite his appreciation and protective instincts.

Consider this a gift to yourself first and a gift to your relationship second. When you feel beautiful, confident, and well-cared-for, you naturally become more magnetic. Your husband will miss you more when you’re gone because he’s reminded of how stunning and valuable you are.

Create Emotional Space Through Boundaries

Physical absence isn’t the only kind that matters. Emotional space is equally important for creating longing. This means not being emotionally available every single second, maintaining healthy boundaries, and ensuring your husband doesn’t take your emotional labor for granted.

Many wives become their husband’s everything: therapist, mother, best friend, personal assistant, and emotional support system. While being supportive is crucial, being your husband’s only source of emotional fulfillment can lead to codependency and emotional exhaustion for you. It also eliminates the longing that comes from wanting more of someone’s attention and energy.

Set gentle boundaries around your emotional availability. If your husband constantly vents to you but rarely asks about your day, it’s okay to say, “I’m happy to listen, but I need to decompress for a bit first. Can we talk about this after dinner?” If he expects you to solve every problem, encourage him to develop his own coping strategies or talk to friends sometimes.

This isn’t about being cold or unsupportive. It’s about teaching your husband that your emotional energy is valuable and finite. When he can’t access your emotional support constantly and unconditionally, he’ll value it more when it’s given. He’ll also become more conscious about when and how he seeks your support.

Emotional space also means not being his constant entertainment or having your mood entirely dependent on his. If he’s having a bad day, you can be compassionate without taking on his emotions. If he’s bored, he can find ways to entertain himself rather than depending on you. This independence creates a healthier dynamic where he misses your emotional presence when you’re withdrawn into your own thoughts or needs.

One practical application: don’t always be the first to reach out emotionally. If you typically check in throughout the day with sweet messages, occasionally let him initiate. If you always ask how his day was, sometimes wait for him to ask about yours first. These small adjustments teach him to actively seek your emotional connection rather than passively receive it.

Creating emotional space paradoxically brings you closer. It makes your husband work slightly harder for your attention, value your emotional presence more, and miss the connection when it’s not immediately available.

Maintain Your Social Life and Friendships

Nothing makes a husband miss his wife more than seeing her vibrant, laughing, and engaged with other people. A woman with a rich social life is infinitely more attractive than one whose world revolves entirely around her spouse.

Your friendships aren’t a threat to your marriage; they’re essential to your identity and wellbeing. When you maintain strong connections outside your marriage, several important things happen. You bring fresh energy and perspectives into your relationship. You’re happier and more fulfilled, which makes you a better partner. And you demonstrate that you’re a desirable person whom others value and enjoy spending time with.

Make your friendships a priority. Schedule regular girls’ nights, coffee dates, or weekend activities with friends. When your husband sees you getting dressed up, excited to spend time with your friends, and coming home energized and happy, he’s reminded of your social value. He sees the woman others are drawn to and remembers why he was drawn to you too.

This also creates natural separation. When you’re out with friends, your husband experiences your absence. He might eat dinner alone, spend the evening by himself, and realize how much your presence contributes to his happiness. This realization cultivates appreciation and longing.

Importantly, be genuinely excited about your social life. Don’t use friends as a manipulation tactic (“I’m going out to make him miss me”). Instead, invest in meaningful friendships because they enrich your life. Your authentic happiness and engagement with others is what makes you attractive and missed.

I worked with a couple where the wife, Lisa, had slowly isolated herself from friends, feeling guilty about time away from her husband. When she rekindled these friendships, her husband Tom initially felt slightly threatened. But soon he noticed Lisa was happier, more interesting, and more fun to be around. He started looking forward to hearing about her evenings out and found himself missing her energy when she was gone. The marriage strengthened because Lisa brought more of herself to it.

Your social life also keeps you interesting. You have stories to share, new experiences to discuss, and perspectives shaped by diverse relationships. You’re not just recycling the same conversations day after day. This variety keeps your husband engaged and curious about your life.

Remember, a woman with a full, rich life outside her marriage is a woman worth missing. Don’t apologize for your friendships or minimize their importance. Celebrate them, nurture them, and let them add dimension to who you are.

Be Less Available (Strategically)

Availability is a double-edged sword in marriage. Being there for your spouse is important, but being perpetually available can diminish your value in your husband’s mind. This isn’t a conscious devaluation; it’s basic human psychology. We tend to take for granted what’s always accessible.

Strategic unavailability creates desire. This doesn’t mean playing games or being unreliable when it truly matters. It means being thoughtful about your time and not always being at your husband’s beck and call.

If your husband texts you throughout the day, you don’t need to respond immediately every time. Let some texts sit for an hour or two. When he asks what you’re doing tonight, occasionally have plans already. If he assumes you’ll join him for a certain activity, sometimes decline in favor of your own interests.

This strategy works because it forces your husband to consider your schedule and desires rather than assuming you’ll always accommodate his. It creates small moments where he wants your company but can’t immediately have it, which generates longing.

One powerful technique is to occasionally be engaged in something when your husband comes home or wakes up. Instead of always being available to immediately connect, sometimes be absorbed in a book, working on a project, on a phone call with a friend, or involved in a hobby. He has to wait for your attention, which makes it more valuable when he receives it.

This doesn’t mean being rude or dismissive. When your husband needs you for something important, be there. But for routine interactions, attention-seeking, or assumptions of your availability, create gentle friction. “I’m in the middle of something right now. Can we talk about this in thirty minutes?” This simple boundary teaches him that your time and attention are valuable commodities, not limitless resources.

Another aspect of strategic unavailability is not always joining him in his activities. If he’s watching sports, you don’t always need to sit with him. If he’s playing video games, you can be doing something else. You’re together in the house, but not constantly joined at the hip. This creates micro-absences that add up to a feeling of missing your active presence.

The key is balance. You’re not withholding yourself as punishment or being cold. You’re simply maintaining that you’re a person with your own time, interests, and schedule. This self-respect naturally makes you more attractive and missed when unavailable.

Bring Back Novelty and Excitement

Routine is marriage’s silent killer. When every day follows the same script, desire fades into comfortable predictability. Your husband may not consciously miss you because your presence is part of the unchanging landscape of his life. Breaking this pattern creates the excitement that generates longing.

Introduce novelty in unexpected ways. Surprise your husband with a spontaneous date night you’ve planned. Suggest a new activity you’ve never done together. Change your routine in small ways: if you always cook dinner, suggest going out. If you always go out, cook an elaborate meal. If you typically watch TV in the evening, suggest a walk or a game instead.

Novelty triggers dopamine release in the brain, the same chemical associated with pleasure and desire. When you introduce new experiences, you reignite the spark that characterized your early relationship. Your husband’s brain associates you with excitement and pleasure again, not just comfort and routine.

Sexual novelty also matters. If your intimate life has become predictable, introduce something new. This could be as simple as initiating at an unexpected time, wearing something different, or suggesting a new location or approach. The element of surprise and discovery makes your husband see you with fresh eyes and desire more of these unexpected moments.

Plan surprises that create absence and anticipation. Book a surprise weekend getaway where he has to wait in anticipation before the trip. Arrange a date night but don’t tell him the full plan, creating mystery. Send him on a scavenger hunt that builds anticipation before revealing the surprise at the end.

I remember working with a couple stuck in monotony. The wife, Diana, decided to shake things up. One Friday, she told her husband to be ready by 6 PM but wouldn’t tell him where they were going. She took him to an indoor rock climbing gym, something they’d never tried. The surprise, the novelty, and the break from routine reignited their playfulness. Her husband couldn’t stop talking about how fun and spontaneous she was, qualities he’d forgotten she possessed.

Novelty reminds your husband that life with you is exciting and unpredictable. It makes him look forward to what you’ll do next and miss you when you’re not there to create these moments of joy and surprise.

Don’t Be Overly Eager or Clingy

Desperation is the opposite of attractive. If you’re constantly seeking your husband’s attention, validation, or presence, you signal that you’re not complete without him. This neediness often pushes partners away rather than drawing them closer.

Examine your behavior honestly. Do you constantly ask, “Do you love me?” Do you require constant reassurance? Do you become anxious or upset when your husband wants time alone or with friends? Do you interrupt whatever he’s doing to demand his attention? If yes, it’s time to step back and work on your own security and self-sufficiency.

A woman who is secure in herself and the relationship gives her partner room to breathe. She doesn’t need constant proof of love because she knows her worth. This confidence is magnetic. Your husband is more likely to miss you and seek your attention when you’re not desperately seeking his.

This doesn’t mean being cold or playing hard to get in a manipulative way. It means having enough self-worth that you don’t need your husband’s constant validation. You’re happy to connect with him, but you’re also perfectly content in your own company or with your own activities.

Reduce the frequency of your bids for attention. If you typically touch him constantly, reduce the frequency so each touch is more meaningful. If you always sit right next to him, sometimes give him space. If you typically initiate all conversations, let him come to you sometimes.

Working on your own insecurities through therapy, self-help, or personal development is crucial here. The goal is authentic confidence, not performed disinterest. When you genuinely feel secure and complete as an individual, that energy naturally attracts your husband. He feels less pressured and more drawn to you.

One client, Rebecca, realized she’d become clingy after having children. She constantly sought her husband’s reassurance and attention, which ironically made him pull away. When she started therapy and worked on her self-esteem, her neediness decreased. She became more independent and confident. Her husband noticed the change and found himself drawn to her again, initiating more affection and quality time because she was no longer demanding it.

Remember: people want what they can’t easily have. When you’re not constantly available, seeking attention, or being clingy, your husband has to work slightly harder for your affection and presence. This effort makes you more valuable in his eyes.

Focus on Quality Over Quantity Time

More time together doesn’t equal a better connection. You can live together, be in the same house every evening, and still feel miles apart. What creates longing and connection is quality time, not quantity.

Quality time means being fully present, engaged, and intentional. It’s putting away phones, looking at each other, having meaningful conversations, and creating memorable moments. These high-quality interactions leave your husband wanting more, even if they’re briefer than your total time together.

Paradoxically, reducing quantity can increase quality. If you spend every evening together but half-engaged while scrolling through phones, your presence doesn’t register as valuable. But if you spend two focused hours per evening truly connecting, those moments become precious, and your husband will miss them when they don’t happen.

Create rituals of connection: a fifteen-minute check-in when you both get home, a phone-free dinner where you actually talk, a weekly date night that’s protected time, or a Sunday morning coffee ritual. These concentrated moments of presence satisfy the need for connection more than hours of parallel existence.

When you are together, be magnetic. Share interesting thoughts, ask engaging questions, laugh genuinely, and show interest in his experiences. Make the time you give him so fulfilling that he craves more of it. This is the opposite of the dynamic where you’re always around but barely present.

Also, know when to leave a high note. If you’re having a great conversation or intimate moment, don’t drag it out until it becomes mundane. Sometimes ending while things are still good leaves both of you wanting more. “I’m going to read for a bit, but I loved talking with you about this” creates anticipation for the next conversation.

This quality-over-quantity approach means your husband experiences your absence more acutely because the times you are together are so fulfilling. He misses the engagement, the connection, and the joy you bring during those intentional moments.

Let Him Wonder About You

Curiosity is a powerful force in relationships. When your husband thinks he knows everything about you and can predict your every move, curiosity dies. But when there’s an element of mystery, when he wonders what you’re thinking or doing, his interest intensifies.

Create small mysteries in your daily life. Don’t answer every question immediately or completely. If he asks what you’re smiling about while looking at your phone, sometimes say, “Oh, just something funny” without elaborating. If he notices you seem particularly happy, let him wonder why before explaining.

Have some aspects of your life that are just yours. A journal he doesn’t read. Conversations with friends where you don’t relay every detail. Thoughts and feelings you process internally before sharing. These private spaces aren’t secrets in a harmful way; they’re the personal boundaries that maintain your sense of self.

When he asks about your day, give highlights but not a minute-by-minute account. Leave room for his imagination. Share interesting elements but maintain some privacy about your internal world. This creates curiosity: What else is she thinking? What’s going on in her mind? What experiences is she having that I don’t know about?

Also, let him wonder about your feelings sometimes. If you always immediately express every emotion, there’s no mystery. Occasionally, let him wonder if you’re upset, happy, or contemplative. He’ll become more attentive, trying to read you and understand your internal state. This effort creates engagement and investment.

One powerful technique is to occasionally change your mind or have a reaction he doesn’t expect. If he’s sure you’ll say yes to something, surprise him with a thoughtful no. If he expects you to be upset about something, react with unexpected equanimity. These moments of unpredictability keep him on his toes and remind him that he doesn’t have you completely figured out.

The goal is to be an evolving mystery, a person he’s always learning about rather than a completely known quantity. This ongoing discovery process keeps his interest alive and makes him miss you when he doesn’t have access to the puzzle of who you are.

Show Him What He’s Missing

Sometimes, making your husband miss you requires showing him what life is like without you. This isn’t about punishment or manipulation; it’s about creating natural consequences that increase appreciation.

When you take a weekend trip with friends, he experiences handling the house, kids, or responsibilities alone. He realizes how much you manage, how your presence makes his life better, and how much he actually enjoys your company. When you return, he appreciates you more and has missed not just your help but your presence.

Similarly, if you reduce some of the things you habitually do for him, he notices your value. This doesn’t mean becoming unhelpful, but rather not being his personal assistant for things he can do himself. If you always make his coffee, occasionally let him make his own. If you always manage his schedule, let him handle it. These small absences of service remind him of your contributions.

Another aspect is showing him your value through others’ appreciation. When friends compliment you, when you excel at work, when others are drawn to you, your husband is reminded that you’re valuable and desirable beyond your role as his wife. He’s prompted to appreciate and miss you more because he’s reminded that you’re not just his; you’re a person others admire and want to be around.

Living your best life, especially when it doesn’t revolve around him, shows him what he’d be missing if you weren’t in his life. Your happiness, success, friendships, and fulfillment all demonstrate your value. He sees what an amazing woman you are and recognizes that he’s lucky to have you, which makes him miss you when you’re not around.

This isn’t about making him jealous or insecure. It’s about being so genuinely fulfilled and valuable that your presence in his life is clearly a gift. When he recognizes this, every absence becomes noticeable because he understands what he’s missing.

Conclusion: The Art of Being Missed

Making your husband miss you while living together isn’t about manipulation, games, or creating artificial distance. It’s about reclaiming the wholeness of who you are as an individual, maintaining the mystery and unpredictability that make you fascinating, and ensuring your presence in his life is a gift he actively appreciates rather than a given he takes for granted.

The strategies we’ve explored—reclaiming your independence, creating strategic absence, cultivating mystery, prioritizing self-care, maintaining boundaries, nurturing friendships, being less available, introducing novelty, avoiding clinginess, focusing on quality time, letting him wonder, and showing your value—all work together to transform you from a background fixture in his life to a vibrant presence he notices, appreciates, and genuinely misses when you’re not there.

This transformation isn’t just about him missing you; it’s about you becoming the fullest, most confident, most engaging version of yourself. It’s about falling back in love with your own life, which paradoxically makes you infinitely more attractive to your husband. When you’re fulfilled, interesting, mysterious, and independent, your husband can’t help but be drawn to you. When you’re not constantly available, clingy, or predictable, he has space to desire and miss you.

Remember that healthy relationships balance togetherness and individuality. You’re partners, but you’re also separate people with your own identities, interests, and lives. Honoring this truth doesn’t weaken your marriage; it strengthens it. Your husband fell in love with a person, not an appendage. Reminding him of that person, evolved and even more captivating than before, is how you make him miss you even when you’re in the same house.

Start small. Pick one or two strategies that resonate with you and implement them genuinely, not as manipulation but as authentic expressions of self-care and self-respect. Notice how your husband responds. Observe how you feel. Adjust and expand as you discover what works for your unique relationship.

The beautiful irony is that making your husband miss you ultimately brings you closer together. The longing he experiences when you’re absent makes your reunions sweeter. The independence you maintain makes your choice to be together more meaningful. The mystery you preserve makes discovery an ongoing journey rather than a completed destination.

You have the power to reignite the spark in your marriage, to make your husband see you with fresh eyes, and to create the longing and appreciation that characterized your early relationship. It starts with valuing yourself enough to maintain your individuality and ends with him recognizing how incredibly lucky he is to have you in his life, missing you every moment you’re not there and treasuring every moment you are.

Your marriage doesn’t have to settle into comfortable complacency. With intention, self-respect, and these strategies, you can be the woman he misses, desires, and never takes for granted, even when you share the same space every single day. That’s not just the secret to making him miss you; it’s the secret to a vibrant, passionate, lasting marriage.
