20 Things to Make Your Husband Feel Special

The following is a list that I read on Christian Parents Forum. The original poster said that some of the ideas came from a book, but didn't tell the title of the book. I do not know which ideas are hers and which are from the book, but all are good.

01 - Don't interrupt or correct him when he is telling a story.

02 - Compliment him in front of the children, your parents, his parents & friends.

03 - Be a concerned about your looks as you were when you were dating.

04 - Let him have sometime to relax when he arrives home from work.

05 - Develop a genuine interest in his work & hobbies

06 - Admire him for his strength & significance.

07 - If he wants to take a lunch to work, pack it for him.

08 - Try to come home & off the phone when he gets home from work & up in the morning when he leaves.

09 - Help your kids be excited about Dad coming home.

10 - Buy him some new socks & underwear on ordinary days instead of given them as gifts on holidays or birthdays.

11 - Keep your bedroom tastefully decorated & clutter free.

12 - Understand when he wants to spend time enjoying sports or hobbies with his friends.

13 - Keep his favorite snack on hand.

14 - Stick to your budget.

15 - Watch his favorite sports events with him.

16 - Try to go to bed at the same time he does, and understand if he falls asleep in the recliner after a hard day.

17 - Trade babysitting with friends so you have some nights at home alone.

18 - Keep lovemaking fresh & exciting & remember that he probably has more frequent desires than you have.

19 - Bake some homemade cookies for him to take to work.

20 - As yourself one question every day: "What's it like being married to me?"

  1. Great reminders Darcy! My husband & I went to a marriage retreat last Sept. It was called Love & Respect and it was amazing! Some of these remind me of that weekend and what we talked about. Great post!
