Momma Mel is right I can only add to what she said. If you have time ask him in letters or however you talk what he is looking forward to and provide that. I spent some time over seas in the first Gulf War and believe me I thought constantly about what I wanted to do when I got home. Take it slow at first dont overwhelm him he will need time to adjust. Dont feel bad if all he wants to do at first is rest. He has seen things and been on a relentless schedule so easing him back is good for him. Let him lead he wont hide what he wants. If nothing else seeing you and your children/friends will make him as happy as any man can be! Give him my best!

Make sure that the first two days he's home is just you two.
Don't worry about anything fancy - he won't care. He just wants to be home and be with you. You could both be in a box using trash bags as sheets, and he will be happy because he's home, and he's with his wife.
And he'll probably want Taco Bell, Pizza and a good steak!
And then back to your hotel, or Bed and Breakfast.
An idea- the first night he is home, take him to the hotel, then to dinner and just spend time together.
Day two, if you'd like stay in the same town and just do little things together.
Maybe take a day or two and go to a lake somewhere. Trees and water will probably be something he'd like to see again. You and him on a secluded lake...
Just some ideas. But ultimately - he will just want to be with you.

Are you meeting him at his arrival point? If not then take post its, start at the front door and write go to "somewhere else in the house" then put another one there keep going until he goes to the room where you will be waiting with some snacks and yourself. If you are meeting him at his arrival point send him a picture of a teddie or something else you would be able to buy, send it to him and ask him if he likes it. Then when you pick him up tell him you have it on under your clothes and his mind will be racing the whole way home. He has been gone for so long so I would wait before you go out to do anything, he is wanting to spend some time in his own house for awhile.

Plan a weekend away together just the two of you. An adults only resort that offers couples massage and peace and quiet may just be the ticket.
If you were considering a cruise or some sort of group tour trip type thing I would advise against it. It feels like you hardly get a moment to yourself.
You will need to get that bond back after all this time. He will be a different man to the one you said goodbye to.
I wish you and your husband well. May he have a safe and speedy return home.

I spent some time deployed overseas and I can tell you that my fiance, now husband, did the most wonderful thing. When I got back, it was an adjustment to get back into my old life and my old way of doing things. He acted as though we were going on our first date. We relived every single detail of that date. It re-solidified why I fell in love with him and made me remember why we were meant to be together. This may sound like a simplistic idea, but it is the little things that will stick with him.

I think after a stint in Iraq, just being home alone with you will be romantic enough for him. I'm sure he will be happy not to be sleeping in the sand.
Go the extra mile, buy yourself the sexiest lingerie you can find and slip into bed with him. Keep in mind, though. It's a long flight home. Don't be too bummed if he sleeps. Though my guess is...he won't. ;)

Something romantic...well show him you appreciate him and what he's done for the country by:
1. Hold a party for him and invite a few of his best friends
2. Take the week off work to be with him
3. Cook dinner...it does'nt matter what as long as your there with him to enjoy it.
4. Lots of SEX

Okay. If you are overweight, go on a diet and join a gym. Go get a cute haircut, and buy new makeup. Buy a hot little dress. When he comes home, get the kids out of the house for the night (if you have any) and either make dinner or have great food delivered from the classiest place in town. Buy some good wine. Rent a cute movie. Buy a great CD for dancing. Eat dinner, drink wine, listen to music, watch the movie... and then... on to the suggestion of "do it all over the house"!!!
Welcome home to your hubby :-)

dont just have sex with him because even though he probly wants to, he wants to see you more so plan an evening where you can talk like go out to dinner but not a movie because you cant exactly talk in a theatre so dinner is perfect because not only is it romantic, it also provides a chance to talk. and later if your feeling up to it you could make love to him because hes been away for quite a while i can imagine and hed very much appreciate it. i know i would
