Making a man feel loved isn't hard if you know what to do, according to YourTango. There are a few little ways men want to be loved that you might want to keep in mind.

Some of these things might be totally different from what you might be tempted to think that men want in order to feel happy.
Trainer Mitzi Bockmann learned from a man himself what exactly you can do as a woman to make him feel loved.
1. Let him make you laugh!
External validation is one of the things men love. They want to know that they are everything.
If he can still make you laugh despite the challenges you have as a couple, he will feel love and joy for you and himself.
By letting him know that he makes you laugh, you give him the ultimate validation that he is appreciated by the woman he loves.
2. Appreciate the things he gives!
A man is at his best when he is giving. When he does, he takes care of those he loves. It is a primary need for him.
It's not the gift that matters, but the effort.
“Maybe he gave you the earrings you asked for (…). He wants to acknowledge the energy he put into trying to make you happy. So, thank your man for the effort and he will feel loved,” recommends the specialist.
3. Let him help you!
Let your partner do some things, is another tip from the specialist:
“Let him do his own laundry (if he wants) or cut his hair the way he wants. Let him plan dinner or buy presents or take the kids to school. And when he does, thank him for it, even if he doesn't do it exactly the way you like it.”
4. Lead with your feminine energy!
Men like to feel strong and protective.. And regardless of what the world says, most men and women respond to each other's gentleness and strength, respectively.
“Being kind and caring doesn't mean you're weak. (…). Do your best to not only tap into your own feminine energy, but also encourage him to step into his own masculinity“says Mitzi Bockmann, who recommends being gentle around your partner, wearing dresses every now and then, and making him feel that you need him.
5. Notify him when he finds your “on” button!
For men, being physically intimate makes them feel loved and connected. This is very different from women, who often need to feel an emotional connection before a physical one.
