My DH cherishes his alone time, although he does not get much of it. I would get his favorite snacks together, rent a movie or put on 'the game' and take the kids out for a few hours. You really don't have to say anything about it. How great do you feel when you get home from work and the dishes are done, or he did a load of laundry?
Maybe have his favorite pizza or take out delivered to him at work around lunch time. Maybe they can arrange the pepperoni in the shape of a heart or something.
I also put little notes, photos or candies in his lunch box before he leaves. That way he gets a little somthing to lift him up at work.
Men tend to be pretty easy to please, us women are much more difficult to figure out.

Actually, I do. It is as simple as, when he comes in the door from work, act like a dog! Run to him, throw your arms around him and kiss him hello (you do not have to jump up on him, lick him, and hump his leg). It is very frustrating for a man to come home after working all day and barely be noticed....happens far too often. The man who has a wife who acts happy to see him is a lucky man indeed. There are no presents, no meals, no nothing that take the place of "so happy to see you." And make that every day..he will hurry home for the attention. Men are suckers for attention...haven't you noticed?
Let me add a few notes here...men do not appreciate the hours spent in the kitchen preparing a great meal...it is FOOD to them, not love. Men do NOT need a BJ when they come in the door...that is inappropriate behavior, I don't care how long you have been married. And in fact, it is forcing them to perform whether or not they feel like it. Men do not need to see their wives dressed to the nines...they know what you look like in the morning. Men do NOT need to hear all the bad things little Johnny did all day. They just need appreciation for being them, for being there, for loving you. Very, very simple.
If you really want a happy husband, buy a book on dog training! Stupid as this sounds, there is so much sense in training a dog..much of it translates to your husband. It is NO accident that dogs are called MAN's best friend!

Tell him. Behave as though you do. Greet him with a hug and kiss and tell him you appreciate how hard he works. Rub his neck after a long day. Call him your hero. Respect him. Bring him a cold (or hot) drink without being asked (and without the "I"m not your servant" attitude). Cook his favorite dinner. Tell him you're glad you married him. Tell him he's a good father, protect, provider, and husband. Do things for him because you love him. Just be a kind, loving, affectionate wife who admires and respects her husband.

Simple...Each and everyday, give one more compliment, one more thank you, one more back rub, more kisses, more hugs, more respect, more kindness, and more support, and encouragement. You can talk the talk, but ya gotta walk the walk. Actions speak louder than words. Start his car in the morning, do a load of his laundry, bake his favorite cookies or desert, it's simple! Write notes to him and hide them in his car or in his bathroom. Cute stuff like that without spending money speaks volumes! The best gifts are thoughtful and free.

How about writing him a poem?
My husband used to carry a brief case back and forth to work. I would hide a joke or cartoon in his daily calendar or just a little love note on one of the days. Use a pencil and he can erase it, if he has to have that space.

Men are simple sweetheart. Just wait for him in the kitchen when he comes home from work and wear a big read bow with red pumps oh don't forget to have dinner ready and no kids.

make his favorite dinner. make him a cd of songs he likes. leave a little note in his pocket or his car that says thank you for being a great husband, etc. make or buy a special dessert that you know he loves. arrange for a movie or poker night with the boys and plan to get out of dodge with the kids for the night.

Nothing is less expensive and says I appreciate you more to a man than a good, enthusiastic BJ-especially in the morning before work.

Slip a note saying "I love you!" in his shoes, so he will get a pleasant surprise in the morning when you may not be there to say goodbye. Send him an e-card when you have time during the day or a thank you card to show your appreciation.
