Married folks only?

Question

What is something you do for your spouse to show them you still care -- I'm talking about the little things. With so many divorce questions posted on here, I'd like to read some positive. For example I leave my husband notes in his lunchbox.

wow. I'm so happy to see so many people still do the little things. Our 5th anniversary is approaching. I've packed him a lunch every day since we've been together, cook dinner most nights & wake him each morning with a kiss, smile & a hot cup of coffee on his nightstand. He still calls me @ work every day to see how my day is going & does a million "little things" for me. Sure makes for a happy home life to feel loved & appreciated.

Answer 1

I try to always give my husband a hug when he gets home from work and tell him that I missed him. Asking my husband about his day seems to always brighten him up because I am interested in him and what he is doing. Another thing I am going to do for our 9th anniversary coming up, is make a CD of love songs that have meant something to us throughout the years we have been together and I am going to put it in his car CD player.

Answer 2

My husband and I will text each other little love notes during the day sometimes. I make sure I give him a big hug in the morning. We hold hands when we walk anywhere and in the car. He will look at from across a room and he will wink at me, I will blow him a kiss. I'll sneak in a little grab if we are out and about and nobody is looking. He will do the same. We've been together almost 10 years, but we still act like teenagers.

Answer 3

Sometimes I just him send a random text message during the day letting him know that I am thinking about him or that I love him .. we leave each other love notes either in the bathroom ( on the mirror) or in the car
one thing he always does is greet me at the door after I have come home from work with a kiss & a hug. I usually wake him with a kiss and even just passing each other in the hallway at home blow each other kisses or touch hands..
we call each other at work throughout the entire day to see how things are going-

Answer 4

I make his lunch every night (don't leave notes but I send him a text or 2 while he's at work), I buy him things I know he needs so he doesn't have to worry about it... I bought him some undershirts the other day because he's running low, yesterday I had his A/C recharged because it needed to be done and I had his car... that motivated me to clean the interior and take it through the car wash, I set up his coffeemaker to brew when he's leaving for work, I'm always available for eh hem, you know...

Answer 5

I have been married for 21 years. My husband never leaves the house wiihout kissing me good-by. I call my husband at least once a day to tell him I love him. We flirt openingly in front of our children and family. Every once in a while I will stop at a grocery store and surprise him with a small boquet of flowers or leave his favorite candy bar by the remote.

Answer 6

It's the little things that can make a relationship go on and on.
When my husband has a big job, he usually works 12 hour days. When he gets home, I have dinner waiting (and hot), have already fed and watered the horses and dogs, so he has nothing he has to do when he gets home.
I tell him how glad I am to have a man who works so hard.
I buy him the little snack cakes he likes.
I bring him a new PlayStation game or movie just because.

Answer 7

In my opinion…
Guys don't really need as much affirmation as us women do. Their brains don't think the same way (no offense guys). To them, showing we care is doing the things that seem natural to us, like cooking them dinner, keeping the house clean and most of all satisfying them in the bedroom (more that just on your anniversary and maybe their birthday! lol)

as long as they are providing for their family and there is a smile on your face at the end of the day, usually that's enough for them. Unless they are the needy type, no offense. I find that the good, down home, hard working (physical labor) kind of guys, that are confident in themselves, don't need as much reassuring.

I tried the note in the lunch thing one time. My husband said, as sweet at the gesture was, it was actually a little weird in front of the other guys. But some things work for some and not others. If it works for you guys then great.

For me...I let him wear the pants once in a while! lol jk

Answer 8

You could play a chain note game and have each one make him go looking for the next note someplace else ending up at you waiting for him in a secluded spot. If you've grown tired of routine switch things up. When a good thought comes to mind analyze it for a while and ask yourself how you could tweak it or what might floor him.
Good luck!

Answer 9

Doing the things you did to get him. I assure you, you will keep him(and he will appreciate everything). Throw in a date night every now and then. Try a day spa for the 2 of you. I've been married for 10 yrs seem like 5. Time surly slips by when ur having fun.
To me, marriage is a once in a lifetime thing. I meant "til death due us part". So I will do everything in my power to keep "us" happy!
God Speed!

Answer 10

My wife has to get up a little earlier than me to take our daughter to school, so I'm still in bed when she leaves. This morning she kissed me on the cheek before she left, which isn't something she usually does, because she's in a hurry. We've been married for 21 years, but little gestures like that still make me feel loved!
