So sometimes it can
be really hard to show our spouses we love them. We get carried away and stuck
in our daily routine. Sometimes I think, He knows I love him, I cook, I clean,
hey I even took my time to make him a cake! What if it turns out he doesn’t
even like cake? Get out of the habit and start showing different ways that you
love and care for him. And don’t be afraid to get creative!
1) Snuggle into him
any chance you get. –I can’t even explain how much I love this. We don’t see
each other a lot so when we do I am constantly near him holding on.
2) Actually listen to
his day instead of 10 percenting it as we call it. Focus on him.
3) Hold his hand
wherever you go.
4) Go for a long
walk, just talking about anything and making each other laugh.
5) Offer him a
massage when he’s had a long day.
6) Send him sweet and
sexy texts. – I love me some sweet nothings messages!
7) Cuddle up on the
couch and watch a movie, his choice.
8) Laugh at his
jokes.
9) Call him up just
to say I love you.
10) Fall asleep in
his arms.
11) Turn the lights
down low.
12) Greet him with a
huge smile and leap into his arms whenever he comes home.
13) Go on fun dates
that you actually have to plan and prepare for instead of just a movie in
dinner. -In that case we went to the drive in movies a couple weeks ago and had
a candlelit dinner and chocolate covered strawberries. What a fun date that was
and then we snuggled up in the back of the car and finished the movie.
14) Whisper all the
things you love about him in his ear.
15) Remember to tell
him you are grateful for him. Think of everything he does for you and/or family
and let him know.
16) Leave messages
for him on the bathroom mirror.
17) Make him his
favorite meals.
18) Listen intently
to his day and be understanding.
19) Kiss him on the
lips everyday.
20) Have a special
language only you two understand whether it’s squeezing each others hands or
winking at one another.
21) Give your
attention to him. Your book, vacuum, text message, facebook, can all wait!
22) Pray for him
everyday.
23) Cultivate your
friendship.
24) Forgive often.
25) Be patient with
him.
26) Show respect.
27) Let the
annoyances go. -This one can be hard I admit. There is just always something
that’s going to bug us whether it’s the cupboards left open, or shoes all over
the ground. Don’t get angry, you can easily close a cupboard and bring the
shoes to a closet. Simple as that! Is it really worth bothering about? If no,
then let it go.
28) Offer him and
praise and encouragement.
29) Resist the urge
to nag. -Again let go of the things that bug you! –Obviously this one is a
little hard for me, but I am working on it and I have seen such a difference in
both our attitudes and we both are just much more happier when there is not a
ton of nagging going on!
30) Do more kissing
than complaining.
31) Take a shower or
bath together.
32) Pay attention to
details. –Know how he likes his sandwiches cut, or which way his clothes hang
on the hanger.
33) Always remember a
good marriage is worth fighting for. It isn’t easy, but it will be worth it.
34) Spend quality
time together, whether it’s playing Battleship (my favorite) or going on a bike
ride.
And I saved my
favorite for very last
35) Tell him I love
you everyday! –Now this one holds a special place in my heart. When Taylor and
I were first dating he told me he had never said I love you to any girl before
other than his mom and sister, not even jokily saying it. I was amazed and
realized those words really meant a lot to him and they began to hold the same
effect on me. Ever since the first day he told me he loved me, he has said it
everyday since, no exception, and I do the same.
