What does love mean to you? A feeling of understanding one another, mutual support, ignited passion? Well, there is no one definition. You can express it in innumerable ways, as they say where there is a will… err love there is a way. When you have that strong urge to shower love on your husband, what would you do? What would be your style? We will give you some ideas.
See what fits you and your sweetheart, and then get on with it! We bet you will have an amazing time together!
1. Let the world know that he is special
Your husband may be the sole bread earner of the family and is putting in his best efforts to strike a near-perfect balance between work and family. Appreciate his efforts. And how? Well, over dinner or family outings, praise him before your kids and family. Nothing would boost his morale more.
If your husband is not the sole bread earner and has been juggling between being an awesome dad – picking and dropping kids from and to school, doing laundry, buying groceries, then you have a perfect man. Battle a few eyelids at him and shower him with praises and probably some couple fun time too!
2. Play the I-am-not-aware game
Every once in a while, you could pretend to not know something and take some quick tips and advice from your husband. How is this helpful, besides boosting his ego? He will feel wanted. He would know that you do look up to him if you need information on new things. While he does not feel like he is Google, he might just get a chance to Google the stuff up for you. What are the odds of him not knowing about something? Show interest and seek some information (and maybe a wee bit of knowledge too) that you might find helpful.
3. Forgiveness is beautiful
We are not perfect, none of us, and we make a lot of mistakes all the time. I know, we, the women, do complain a lot about the man’s misses. This is, probably, because we have a higher emotional quotient. But understand that you are hurting them.
While this isn’t stone cast for every single woman out there, forgiving your husband might just be a good idea. For all those things which do not hurt you and can be ignored, do not last out at your hubby. Instead, understand him but let him politely know that you didn’t like it. This should prevent him from repeating those errors.
4. Make home a beautiful place
If you are also working, you would have to run between many things: food, baby, work, and deadlines. But set some time aside to bring in a lively atmosphere at home. Imagine coming home to loads of laughter and love? Wouldn’t that make everyone feel relaxed? Do the same for your husband. Have a small family time (if you have kids), play his favorite music, fill the house with a pleasant aroma, or give him a cup coffee with a lovely smile.
5. Massage is therapy
It is indeed and works not just on the relaxing side of things but also the fun and sensual side. Spare some time over weekends to give your husband a nice massage. Massage his neck and shoulders, feet, back, and once the mood has set in, you know what is next. Don’t be surprised if a relaxing session just turns into a wild, steamy one making both of you happy!
6. Plan a dinner date
Yes, this should probably have been first on the list and is a very common idea too. But don’t just have a candle light dinner. Why not choose a place of importance to both of you and carry along some delicacies he likes? Go to the place you guys first met or went out on an anniversary. And if the place is not a restaurant and can be a perfect picnic spot, then sure carry some tasty food, a bottle of fine wine, and spend some quality time together.
7. Have the friends come over
This might sound strange as a husband’s friends are usually the wife’s enemies. If you know his boy gang, call them over at home some day, and surprise your hubby with some nice mean and hard drinks and board games! All the boy stuff! We are sure your husband would be mighty happy and adore you for that!
So, there you have it – from food to play and more – we have given you the best list of how to make your husband a happy man! Appreciate him for all he does and watch as he showers his love on you. And for all we know, you might just get an awesome surprise from him!
