People say many things about marriage, some of which are true, while others are projections from their personal experiences and are not necessarily true.
One of those I consider true is when people say that when you’ve been married for some time, your interest and excitement about physical qualities and sexual activities might go down.
This is one thing I know to be true.
It is not necessarily the most exciting thing a newlywed wants to hear, but it is highly valid.
The passion and fervour couples have for each other may dwindle over time, and for some, it may even drastically decline, unfortunately.
Due to many factors like ageing, distractions, or just the general busyness of life.
However, as true as this is, there will always be exceptions.
Some couples have been married for some time but are still very into each other as much as when they first met or even more.
And I don’t mean they just get along well or connect intellectually.
I mean, they are into each other physically.
As a woman, there are signs you’ll see that show you that your husband is still crazy about your body and mesmerized by you.
It’s a sweet thing to know and experience; identifying the signs will help you appreciate and enjoy them better.
8 Signs Your Husband Is Still Physically Obsessed With You
1. He touches you at every slight chance
I once saw a reel on Instagram depicting how some husbands can’t get their hands off their wives.
The woman in the reel shared how she can’t walk past her husband without getting a smack on her butt or a playful touch on other parts of her body from him.
Many women in the comments could relate and shared their experiences, too.
They were “complaining” about it, but you could tell that they didn’t mind at all.
If anything, they actually love it!
One woman commented, “He always does this, and I always push his hands away. But the day I walk past him several times, and he doesn’t touch me, I don’t feel good about it.”
Of course, not every woman can relate to this experience.
Some women only get touched when it’s time to have sex, which is very bad, but I won’t digress today.
However, if you belong to the same group as these women whose husbands always find an excuse to touch them, even in the smallest ways, then you know that that man is still very physically drawn to you.
2. He uses your picture as his screensaver
People use different things as their phone screen savers, from cars to houses to cute pictures of random things.
But some men don’t consider any picture worthy of gracing their phone’s screen as much as their wives’ photos.
I love changing my wallpaper and screensavers often just to keep things exciting, and I use different pictures: beautiful flowers, nice buildings, Bible verses, or inspiring quotes.
But my husband is different, he has just one wallpaper; my picture.
He changes it thrice a year, and whenever he does, it’s to a more recent photo of me.
It always warms my heart so much and reaffirms his love and attraction to me.
This is one of the ways to know that your husband loves your body.
He puts your pictures in places where he can easily see them often daily.
It could be a frame of you in his office or as the wallpaper of his smartwatch.
These things show that your man is very much enchanted by you.
3. He likes being around you
You can confirm your husband’s desire to physically connect with you by how often he wants to be with you.
Does he like hanging out with you, or does he always seek opportunities to be somewhere else?
If your husband is in the habit of hanging around your spots in the house, hopping into your favourite sofa with you, or offering to drive you to the places you need to be, it’s because he’s physically obsessed with you, which is so cute.
Some husbands are that addicted to their wives.
When she’s far away, it’s almost like one of their vital organs is not functional.
They’re restless, unhappy, and just want to see her.
Not because they have anything planned or want her to do anything for them.
Just simply for the fun of having her around.
It’s like her presence brings them calm.
I remember my pastor bitterly complaining that the bed and the house were hard to sleep in because his wife had travelled.
He confessed that he struggled to sleep in her absence.
How sweet!
4. He loves video calls
When my husband and I were dating, I used to dislike video calls.
Perhaps it’s because I just don’t like calls generally; I prefer communicating via text.
But my husband was quite the opposite.
He always called me on video, and I’d ask why.
As the years passed, we eventually reached a compromise: He’d ask me before calling me via video.
I started leaving my comfort zone to accept that video calls were part of my life now, especially since we married.
I learned that he requested video calls to connect with me on a deeper level.
He didn’t just want to hear my voice; he wanted to see my face because he loved looking at me.
If this story resonates with you, your husband loves to call you on video when you’re apart, and he does this often; that’s a great sign.
Of course, this doesn’t apply to men who always want video calls out of their insecurity and lack of trust just to see and know where their wives are.
I’m talking about husbands who do it with pure intentions.
5. He likes cuddling
Sometimes, this is all the sign you need.
How your husband loves the warmth of your embrace.
An obsessed husband is always ready to hold you in his arms.
He loves how perfectly your body fits into his, so he’s always trying to cuddle, hug, or hold you.
Husbands like this give the best hugs.
They know how to make you feel warm and cosy in their arms.
You can not be starving of affection and physical touch around him because he’ll give them to you in large doses.
6. You catch him stealing glances when he thinks you’re not looking
This is a classical sign that your husband is still spellbound by you, regardless of how much time has passed.
He looks at you a lot and still steals glances when he thinks you’re not looking at him.
It can be both funny and cute.
He’s like a teenage boy who has a huge crush on a girl and doesn’t know how to approach her.
You may even find yourself reluctant to share this experience because many people may not believe you.
They find it hard to grasp the fact that you’ve been married for years, and he still looks at you like he only just met you.
But that’s your beautiful reality; your husband is still smitten by you.
7. His eyes still light up whenever you walk in
People can say a lot without necessarily saying a word.
You can tell how a person feels about you by how they look at you and behave around you.
Body language doesn’t lie if you know how to interpret it well.
You walk into the room and the moment your husband’s eyes catch you, they light up, it’s like he’s seen an angel.
It’s subconscious; he’s not even trying; it just happens.
You feel like the most beautiful girl in the world because your husband looks at you in a way that screams, “You’re the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever laid my eyes on.”
My uncle once told me that since he got married and thirty years in, his heartbeat still quickens every time his wife is close to him.
Sometimes, he even gets jealous when she gets excess attention from another man because he wants her for himself alone.
Hearing a man confessing that much vulnerability and love was beautiful and heartwarming.
8. His compliments never run dry; he notices every little thing
He might not notice everything, but he will notice many things, even the things you deem insignificant or don’t expect him to observe.
He doesn’t just notice them; he is generous with compliments.
I’ve met women who say their husbands can’t stop flirting with them, no matter how many years have passed.
The man is obviously not a young man anymore, but when his wife makes a new hair, he’s the first to tell her how ravishing she looks.
He makes her feel like the centre of his world.
It’s because he hasn’t gotten over her; he loves her like he’s still trying to win her over.
These signs show that there is still a high level of attraction for you in your husband.
As long as all his actions are within healthy boundaries, we should be excited and even appreciative of them.
You can’t take the physical aspect out of marriage.
It’s an essential part of it, so if you see these signs, you can easily give your husband a distinction in the physical attraction part of marriage.
