He can.
It takes work, and that work is owed by both husband and wife to each other.
But you ask what you can do. I'll answer that and just state that a husband should do all the same things; this is not me making a list of "what women should do".
Be engaged. Be interested in what each other is interested in -- doesn't mean you have to do it but at least know about it. Eat at least one meal together every day. Know what they do for work, where they do it, and hopefully some of their work friends -- this isn't a trust thing this allows you to connect with them. Speaking of trust: trust them. Don't check for passwords and phones and silliness like that. Stay interested in them. Stay in shape. Read together. Watch TV/movies together. Have alone time. Go out with your own friends and let them go out alone with their friends. COMMUNICATE... about everything. If there are kids, NEVER disagree with your other half in front of the kids -- present a united front and fix it later privately. Be completely transparent sexually with them. That doesn't mean do everything they want or nothing -- it means communicate. Dress nicely for each other. Have fun together. Laugh. Cry with each other. Give each other space. Be silly.
This probably is only a partial list but it gives you the idea.
Here's the thing: an old married man of 48 still wants to be crushed on and to know that he's attractive and worth chasing. Treat him like that, love him like that every day.

I’m certain I will be when I finally marry. I was so loyal and in love with just my girlfriend.
The Sad Love Story that is My Life ↗
A husband can but does he really want to? That is the question that has to be asked. Furthermore, this is not only a problem afflicting men but almost equally as much women.
For loyalty to exist, you need priorities in life as well as respect for the partner and sometimes, placing your wishes in second place in order to keep harmony in the couple.
Priorities - it seems that nowadays, sex is the number one priority in life. That should not be. Why is it that people place so much importance on it? If one can answer this question, then more than 80% of the problems in a couple are resolved. Emphasizing on sex in life is the wrong approach because that is an activity that is performed less than 1% of the awake time of an adult.
Respect - If you respect your partner, his/her wishes and needs, then you accomplish something that most couples have forgotten. A marriage is a 2 way street and not something where one partner takes more than he/she gives.
Harmony - giving in sometimes keeps the marriage alive and functioning. Don't always think that your ideas are the better ones. Realize that you can make mistakes as well.
Finally, those couples that have stayed together a lifelong have developed a respect for the other and the initial burning love has changed to more of a friendship. A long lasting couple is also each other's best friend.
It takes a hard work and a commitment. Nothing comes easy in life, not even love.
If he doesn’t want to, nothing she does will help him love her forever, it’s important to remember loving someone is not just having butterflies in your stomach everyday you see her. Loving someone is a choice and if you want to lover forever, you’ve got to keep choosing her even at her worst.

You should take care of all his needs, much less chance that he cheat or leave then.

I have sexual relationship with a woman who known as a great wife n loyal wife to her husband... lol.Yes. But he still can find other woman attractive also. I had a married man tell me I was beautiful woman. My psychology double bachelors friend said something may be missing from his marriage though.
