5. They all want to be heroes:

Show him that he is your hero and you can’t really function without him, make him think that there are certain things that only he can do. When you make him feel needed, he will start thinking of himself as more important.

This heroic feeling will help him take off the lazy cape and wear the Superman cape. Try role reversing; don’t make him feel that you can do it all by yourself. This will only make him slack even more and make your lazy husband even lazier.

6. Let go of the threatening attitude

If you want something done by a grown-up man, you will need a little change in yourself. No threatening, no pointing fingers and no arguments. These negative points will only make him more adamant not to work.

7. Appreciation and positivity

Load him with praises at the smallest favor he does. These favors may not seem much, but in the long run, they will help him to change. Start with the trash and more gradually to other small chores like loading the dishwasher. Things that can make him feel that he has made a difference, but these need to be speedy chores, not something that takes time. Appreciate every tiny effort that he makes.

8. Lower your expectations and compromise:

Maybe you are expecting too much, and this can pressurize him. Try lowering your expectations and start compromising a bit for his sake. Reconnect with your husband and get through to him regarding his laziness.

A lazy husband may be the hardest person to deal with, but it’s not an impossible task. Have a bit of patience and tact, and you will be able to change your lazy husband into an ideal one.
