Ideas to encourage wife?

Question

The wife's great, but she's really tired lately with the kids. She's kind, beautiful and really appreciates romance.

I'm usually pretty good at this but would love your ideas.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Sounds like she needs a special outing with lots of attention. SHOW her how special she is rather than trying to tell her. Actions speak louder than words. Try starting the day with an intimate phone call, followed by flowers enclosed with an invitation to go out, a nice romantic meal, followed by a movie or possibly a nice motel room!!! Sometimes with kids, a women needs to be reminded that she is in fact a woman and NOT just a mother!

Answer 2

Thanks for being caring enough to ask this for your wife...
If your financial situation is such that you can do this, and you really want to make a big romantic gesture, here is my suggestion. Schedule a day off of work without her knowing. Hopefully you work first shift and once she falls asleep for the night, get up and start cleaning! Remember that you don't have to work the next day so staying up and extra hour or two won't hurt you. Clutter, dishes, and laundry will make the biggest impact in the shortest amount of time. If she catches you in the act, just tell her you couldn't sleep and thought you needed to wear yourself out. Have a babysitter ready to go for the entire day and if money is an issue then try to volunteer family or friends or agree to "trade" babysitting duties with another parent. Wake your wife up and declare it "Sally's" Day! Eat breakfast before you leave the house to cut down on costs and eat a light lunch, maybe fast food or picnic style. Then you can do an early dinner that is a bit nicer. She won't care if you can't afford a high class dinner. She will be thrilled that you have made an entire day with her. Go to a matinee (prices are less before the evening showing.) Walk a nature trail, go shopping or window shopping. Tell her that she is an awesome Mom and that she will always be kind and beautiful to you and if you had it to do all over again you wouldn't change a thing, etc, etc. Last but not least, get something tangible to commemorate the day. It doesn't have to be expensive, just a little trinket, or if you're able to, have something engraved with "Sally's" Day, The Celebration of My World, (of Beauty, or whatever you think to put,) February 3, 2007. Have fun and good luck!

Answer 3

Sounds like its time to plan a date night! Just pick a day on the calander, arrange a sitter... and surprise her with something special. Could be just a quiet night in where you make her favourite meal w/ bottle of wine,and a candle lit evening! Or you could take your out on the town? You know your wife best! A little effort goes a long way with the ladies though!!! You'll do great! And your wife will love it!

Answer 4

If you can afford it hire someone to take the kids for a day and then hire a company to come in and clean the house. In the mean time take you wife to do something she really enjoys but does not get to do that often. Maybe a massage and facial or a pedicure. Or bring her breakfast in bed and you take the kids out while she lounges away.

Answer 5

Call a family member, or a sitter, and have them come over and watch your kids for a couple days. Like over a friday or saturday night. Take her to a nice hotel or bed and breakfast for the night. Whene she can nap in peace, or enjoy a soak in a hot tub. Fill the room with candles and give her a massage. Tell her how much you love her, and that you so proud of how well she manages the household things she does.

Answer 6

If she is tired because of the kids, and everything else she has to doa round the house my bet is she will appreciate you helping her out more than anything else that you could ever do. Maybe give her a couple hours to go out shopping by herself while you stay home with the kids and do what needs to be done.

Answer 7

I tell my husband that for me the most helpful and romantic thing he does is about once a week or so he comes home from work and tells me to go sit and put my feet up or take a bath or whatever and he takes over, dinner-homework with kids-cleaning-and bathing kids. Its really nice and he even brings me dinner in bed or on the couch. Its not every day but its enough to keep me going.

Answer 8

Wake her up with breakfast and put a rose there with a note saying "Everyday I love you even more..your so beautiful" ... If its like a warm night..u shud do a lil picnic at the beach with candles n rose peddles eevrywhere and blindfold her and take her there..n make some rreal good lovin' with her..buy some sex books and try something different ; im sure this will get her excitd lol

Answer 9

Help her around the house, this happened to me after I had my baby I got to tired for romance. My husband was trying everything to get me in the mood. He then started going out of his way to help me get things done around the house, I then had a little more time to relax and it made me so happy that he tried so hard.
It is also important to make quality time together without the kids!

Answer 10

Help her out around the house..Have someone take her out on a shopping trip and while she is out shopping, do some of the housework...laundry, dishes, or cooking a special meal with candles and flowers and the kids staying over at grandma and grandpa's house for the night?.
