Marriage – the beautiful union of two souls becoming one – keeping that spark alive ain’t always a walk in the park, right?
Whether you’ve been together for a hot minute or a couple of decades, we all need a little reminder on how to keep the romance flames burning bright.
In this guide, you’ll learn about 100 surefire ways to love your husband and make him feel like the luckiest guy on the planet.
Now, I know what you’re thinking,
“But, isn’t he supposed to be the one wooing me?”
Well, of course! But a little effort from your end never hurt nobody. Plus, who doesn’t love feeling appreciated and adored by the person they love most in this world?
So, let’s dive in and unlock the secrets of love.
1. Express Appreciation for the Little Things He Does for You
You know what they say, it’s the little things that count! Did your hubby take out the trash without you asking? Give him a big smooch! He fixed that leaky faucet? Prepare for a bear hug!
Appreciating the small stuff lets him know you really see all the little ways he tries. Why not leave a sticky note on the mirror telling him how amazing his dad jokes are?
Guys may act all tough, but a little praise goes a long way.
Who doesn’t love feeling appreciated?
2. Cook His Favorite Meal
Ah, the way to a man’s heart – through his stomach! What’s his absolute favorite home-cooked meal? Meatloaf? Spaghetti? A greasy burger? Whatever it is, get those pots and pans going!
There’s nothing like the inviting aroma of his beloved dish to get him feeling the love. Bonus points if you go all out with the fixings he adores. Can’t you just picture the huge grin when he walks through that door? Now just try not to burn anything this time!
3. Leave Love Notes Around the House
Who doesn’t love getting little reminders of how much they’re adored? Sticky notes are your new best friend!
Leave them anywhere your guy will find them – the bathroom mirror, his car dashboard, even the beer fridge.
Get creative with your messages too – besides the classic “I love you,” you could quote his favorite song lyrics or inside jokes.
Maybe remind him of that hilarious thing he did last week.
The randomness will keep him grinning all day long! Just don’t leave anything too racy where the kids might find it…
4. Plan Surprise Date Nights
Dinner and a movie can get pretty stale after a while. Keeping things exciting is key for any marriage! Why not plan a surprise date night that’s totally out of the ordinary? Dust off those roller skates and hit the rink, or go all out at a themed restaurant.
If you’re feeling adventurous, maybe try going camping in the backyard like when you were kids? The element of surprise plus reliving those giddy early dating days?
He’ll be putty in your hands! Just don’t surprise him with another concert by his most-hated band…
5. Listen Attentively When He Talks
Guys may seem simple, but they need to feel heard too!
When your man is chatting away about his day, put down your phone and really listen. Make eye contact, nod, and ask follow-up questions to show you’re engaged.
Don’t just smile and nod while mentally planning your grocery list. That’s a surefire way to get bumped to the couch!
Sure, he may ramble about fantasy football or seemingly boring work stuff. But giving him your full attention tells him he’s important.
Plus, you might actually learn something new! Like why he’s so grumpy about that one coworker…
6. Support His Goals and Dreams
Behind every successful man is a supportive wife cheering him on! Be your husband’s biggest cheerleader and support his dreams and ambitions, no matter how big or small. Offer encouragement, lend a listening ear, and remind him that you believe in him.
Whether it’s starting his own business, running a marathon, or just building that epic cherrywood dresser, your man needs a cheerleader! Make sure he knows you have his back 100%.
Believe in his wild dreams, no matter how lofty.
Offer encouragement when he’s losing steam.
Remind him of how far he’s already come! Most importantly, don’t ever be that nagging wife who rains on his parade.
Pursuing goals together will only strengthen your bond.
With you by his side, he’ll feel empowered to chase his passions and conquer any obstacles in his way.
7. Show Interest In His Hobbies
Guys need their “guy time” to recharge with their favorite hobbies. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get in on the action!
Whether he’s really into video games, model trains, or reorganizing his sock drawer for the thousandth time, make an effort to understand his fixation. Ask questions and pay attention when he explains the rules or techniques. You may discover a new appreciation for his quirky interests!
Who knows, maybe you’ll get good enough at its to win over his buddies at the next fantasy football draft party.
Just don’t mock his treasured baseball card collection…unless you want to sleep on the sofa.
8. Give Him a Massage After a Long Day
After a brutal day at the office, there’s nothing quite like relieving tension with a good old-fashioned back rub. Don’t be afraid to put some muscle into those kneads and really work out those knots! A warm towel or scented lotion can make it extra luxurious.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even straddle him for deeper pressure. Just watch out for unintentionally hilarious massage oil mishaps! When all is said and done, he’ll be feeling brand new and extra grateful for your magic hands. Who knows, maybe you’ll get lucky with a sweet reward later on…
9. Encourage Him During Challenging Times
Life can really throw some curveballs, and your man may not always knock it out of the park. When he’s feeling defeated or struggling, be his biggest cheerleader! Remind him of his strengths and all the obstacles he’s overcome before.
A little positivity can go a long way in boosting his confidence. Slip encouraging notes into his lunchbox or leave motivating voicemails.
But avoid empty platitudes like “Don’t worry, it’ll all work out!” That’ll just make his eye roll game strong.
Instead, point out how his determination and intelligence will help him tackle this latest hurdle. Then maybe do a silly happy dance to make him smile!
10. Compliment Him Sincerely
Sure, most guys act all tough and pretend not to care what others think. But deep down, sincere compliments give their egos a major boost.
Don’t just comment on the obvious stuff like his nicely groomed beard or athletic build (though flattery will get you everywhere).
Notice the smaller things that make him uniquely him – his creativity at work, his patience with the kids, or his excellent driving skills.
You could even compliment his joke-telling abilities, if you’re feeling very generous! Whatever it is, make sure it comes from the heart. Fulfilled egos make for very happy, loving hubbies.
11. Make Time for Intimate Moments
With busy lives and endless distractions, it’s easy for the spark to fizzle out sometimes. But keeping that intimate connection is crucial!
Schedule regular date nights, even if it’s just Netflix and chilling on the couch. Light some candles, play smoothjams, and slowly undress…your uncomfortable sweaters of course!
What did you think I meant?
Either way, take time to really appreciate each other – mind and body. Get flirty, reminisce about your early dating days, and don’t forget to communicate your needs.
A little skinship goes a long way towards feeling loved up. Just be sure to lock the bedroom door first… 🙂
12. Laugh Together Often
They say laughter is the best medicine, but it’s also a key ingredient for a healthy, happy marriage! Make jokes a couple, not a joker. Tease each other playfully and don’t be afraid to get a little silly.
Embrace the moments of laughter, even when it’s because someone inadvertently tooted. Maybe come up with hilarious secret handshakes or funny nicknames only the two of you understand.
Dealing with life’s stresses is so much easier when you can lean on each other for comic relief.
Just be sure not to take the jokes too far – no bringing up his bizarrely horrible teenage frosted tips haircut!
13. Take an Interest In His Work
Even if his job sounds dreadfully dull to you, make an effort to understand what he does all day. Ask him questions about current projects or challenges he’s facing. You may be surprised to find it more fascinating than you thought! Plus, he’ll appreciate you taking a genuine interest in something so core to his life.
Who knows, maybe you’ll finally grasp what exactly a “non-fungible token” is. Just don’t nod off while he’s explaining the riveting aislesafety protocols at his grocery store job.
That’s an intimacy killer right there. Show you care by listening intently – he’ll feel loved and valued.
14. Be His Biggest Cheerleader
Whether he accomplishes something huge or tiny, be that obnoxiously loud fan cheering from the sidelines.
Hubby finally used that treadmill? Bust out the pompoms! He reheated last night’s leftovers without burning them? Give that man a trophy!
Celebrating each other’s wins, no matter how small, keeps your bond strong. Shower him with praise, high-fives, and maybe even a silly victory dance. But know when to tone it down too – no need to wake the neighbors over his killer triple-word score in Scrabble.
A little encouragement and positivity go a long way in making your man feel accomplished.
15. Send Him Sweet Text Messages
In this digital age, a flirty text is the modern-day love note! Drop your man a spontaneous message to tell him he’s on your mind. Reminisce about an inside joke or happy memory you two share.
Compliment his awesomeness out of the blue. Or simply send a risqué winky-face emoji to keep him wondering. The unexpected sentiment is sure to put a smile on his face in the middle of a dull day.
Just be sure to proofread first – autocorrect has been known to turn “You’re so hot!” into something far less sexy. And maybe avoid novel-length novels unless you want hourly “…K” responses.
16. Hold His Hand In Public
PDA (public display of affection) makes some people cringe, but holding hands with your hubby is an easy way to show affection.
Interlock those fingers proudly as you stroll through the park or mall. Don’t be afraid to give his hand a cheeky stroke with your thumb in the grocery store line.
A gentle squeeze can convey so much: “I’m here for you,” “You’re my person,” or simply “Hey there, hot stuff.” Just watch out for excessive sweatiness – nobody wants a clammy paw situation.
17. Show Empathy When He’s Upset
Even the toughest, most macho husband can use some extra TLC when he’s feeling down. If your man is visibly upset or frustrated, ditch the “buck up” toxic positivity. Instead, listen actively without judgment and validate his feelings.
Offer a warm hug or backrub to soothe his worries. Avoid insensitive remarks like “It could be worse!” or “Don’t be such a baby.” That’s a surefire way to get the cold shoulder.
Sometimes just being present and letting him vent is the best medicine. And if tears start to flow? Pass him the tissues and remind him real men definitely do cry.
18. Give Him Space When He Needs It
As much as we’d like to be our partner’s everything, everybody needs a little me-time occasionally. If your hubby seems irritable, distant, or craving solitude, don’t smother him.
Retreat to your own hobbies and give him the breathing room he needs, no questions asked.
He’ll be much more appreciative than if you tried to pry or nag.
Just be sure to check in later with a caring text or gestures to remind him you’re there when he’s ready. Too much space can breed distance, after all. With any luck, he’ll return to your loving arms rejuvenated and expressing appreciation for your Understanding.
19. Celebrate His Successes
Did your man just crush a huge work presentation? Nail a job interview? Finally beat his old high score on the ancient Donkey Kong machine? Whatever the accomplishment, make sure to go all out celebrating!
Pop open a bottle of his favorite beverage and make a fancy toast.
Decorate the house with silly streamers and signs cheering him on. You could even bake a congratulatory cake – just leave the baking to the pros if you can’t resist licking the batter. Above all, shower him with genuine praise and admiration.
Seeing your unbridled enthusiasm will make his achievement feel all the more meaningful. Just don’t accidentally outshine him with your own recent wins!
20. Make Him His Favorite Drink
Is your husband more of a beer snob constantly raving about how “crisp” and “hoppy” his latest IPA is? Or maybe he’s a sucker for an old-fashioned on the rocks? Whatever his poison, take the time to learn his go-to order and whip it up for him at home.
Having his signature sip waiting after a long day tells him you care about his needs and preferences. Add a fancy garnish or pour it over a giant ice sphere for an extra classy touch. A perfectly crafted cocktail is a simple yet powerful gesture.
21. Watch His Favorite Movie or TV Show with Him
Sure, you may have seen Die Hard 742 times already. And yes, you could probably recite every Seinfeld episode line-for-line at this point.
But enjoying his beloved shows and films together is a bonding experience like no other. Snuggle up close as you quote along to those classic scenes. Explain your takes during the pauses. Heckle that annoying character you both can’t stand.
Heck, you could even coordinate outfits for a real fan experience!
Give it your full undivided attention and you might rediscover why he loves it so much.
22. Plan a Weekend Getaway Together
Even if it’s just a cheap stay at a local hotel, getting away from the daily grind does a marriage good. Research unique Airbnb or VRBO options within driving distance that fit your budgets and interests. Maybe a quirky tiny home or rustic cabin in the woods? You could even splurge on an all-inclusive resort if you’re feeling boujee.
The anticipation and change of scenery alone will reinvigorate your bond. Leave the kids with grandma so you can focus on reconnecting…horizontally, if you catch my drift. Packing racy lingerie and some therapeutic massage oils is strongly encouraged for maximum relaxation!
23. Write Him a Heartfelt Letter
In our modern world of texts and DMs, there’s something extra special about an old-fashioned handwritten letter.
Take time to pour your heart out and remind your husband just how much he means to you. Reminisce about your favorite memories together or gush about the little quirks you adore.
Don’t hold back on the mushy stuff – men rarely get that level of vulnerability directed at them! You could even tuck it away somewhere for him to find unexpectedly, like tucked in his lunchbox or hiding in his gym bag. Keep it personal and from the heart.
24. Be Patient with Him
Let’s face it, men can be a bit…dense sometimes. Whether he’s struggling to assemble furniture, butchering a household chore, or just generally being a typical clueless guy, maintain your cool.
Taking a deep breath and explaining things calmly and respectfully will be much more effective than screaming how he’s “literally the worst.”
Reciprocate the patience he (hopefully) shows you. If you’re starting to boil over, remove yourself from the situation for a bit.
Lashing out over small frustrations breeds resentment.
Most misunderstandings just need a little compromise.
25. Surprise Him with Tickets to His Favorite Event
Whether it’s front row seats to his beloved band, courtside for his favorite sports team, or passes to the latest comic convention, treating your guy to an experience he’s passionate about scores major points.
Imagine the look of pure joy and excitement when you surprise him with those coveted tickets! Play it up with hints leading up to the grand reveal. You could even present them in a goofy way, like tucked into a novelty gift or inside a custom fortune cookie.
26. Cook Breakfast in Bed for Him
There’s nothing like waking up to the tantalizing scent of bacon, pancakes, and freshly brewed coffee surrounding you.
Let your man start his day by indulging in his favorite morning spread from the comfort of your marital bed. Load up a tray with all the fixings – don’t forget the butter, syrup, and fresh-squeezed juices!
If you’re feeling extra ambitious, try your hand at french toast or eggs benedict. You could even don a sassy apron or maid’s outfit for a laugh.
27. Take Walks Together
In this hectic world of endless screen time and driving everywhere, there’s something simply grounding about a nice walk together. Lace up those sneakers, grab his hand, and get those steps in while enjoying each other’s company.
Use this uninterrupted bonding time to really connect – discuss your days, upcoming plans, or just admire the scenery side-by-side.
You’d be surprised how therapeutic a little fresh air can be for clearing your minds. At the end of the stroll, you’ll feel refreshed and appreciative of quality time well spent.
28. Show Gratitude for His Efforts
Does your man work tirelessly at his job to support your family? Go the extra mile keeping your home in order? Make an effort to express authentic gratitude for his contributions, large and small.
A simple “Thank you for all your hard work” can go a long way in making him feel valued. Surprise him with a cheesy coupon book filled with favors he’d appreciate.
Cook his favorite comfort food after a grueling day. And certainly never miss an opportunity to call out when he’s being an amazing husband or father – those reminders fuel his fire to keep killin’ it!
29. Share Your Feelings Openly
Being vulnerable and sharing the ooey-gooey stuff doesn’t come naturally to most guys. But building that emotional intimacy is crucial for a deep connection. Don’t be afraid to open up about your hopes, fears, and everything in between.
If you’re struggling to express yourself, write him a letter or put those feelings to paper first.
And make sure he feels safe to do the same without judgment! Men tend to bottle things up until they explode. Create an environment where you both can share your inner worlds freely. Accept that he may need time to process before responding beyond a grunt.
30. Create a Scrapbook of Your Memories Together
In today’s digital age, it’s easy for photos and mementos to get lost in the cloud. Why not get crafty and compile your favorite memories into a tangible keepsake? Bust out some acid-free paper, fun scissors, and all the stickers and embellishments your heart desires.
Include ticket stubs from your first date, an ultrasound photo from your first kid, goofy photobooth strips – whatever holds sentimental value! Jot down funny captions in your finest handwriting too.
Flipping through those captured moments with your forever partner by your side is bound to spark laughter, tears, and all the warm fuzzies.
31. Take Him Out for a Romantic Picnic
When was the last time you packed up a wicker basket and cozy blanket for an alfresco meal under the sun? Picnics instantly add a sense of whimsy and nostalgia to even the most basic lunch.
Scout out a scenic spot at your local park or botanical garden in advance. Load up your basket with all his favorites – juicy sandwiches, fresh fruit, maybe even a batch of your grandma’s famous lemon bars!
If you’re feeling frisky, you could even pack a little something special…like sparkling grape juice! Few things are more romantic than sharing bites and soaking up rays together.
32. Support His Self-care Routines
We often assume self-care is just a “girl thing,” but every guy needs to recharge those batteries sometimes!
If your husband has healthy routines like hitting the gym, getting massages, or having a weekly video game night with the bros, be his biggest cheerleader. Encourage him to stick to those commitments, even when life gets hectic.
Heck, you could even join in on some of the activities – wouldn’t he love a workout buddy or gaming partner?
On the other hand, if he’s overdue for some “me time,” give him a nudge toward booking himself a treat. A happy, balanced husband makes for a much happier marriage overall.
33. Attend Family Gatherings Together
Whether it’s your in-laws’ annual barbecue or his weird uncle’s super quirky themed birthday bash, attending family events as a united front is key.
Sure, spending too much time with the relatives can be utterly draining and test your sanity. But putting on a smile and being a team player scores major points with your husband.
Stick by his side, hold his hand, and be each other’s escape hatches when Aunt Karen gets too sauced. You can playfully vent about cousin Eddie’s questionable life choices later.
Laugh at the insane memories you’re creating! Families may drive us nuts, but he’ll appreciate you being his day-one ride-or-die.
34. Show Interest in His Opinions
Guys love to feel like the intellectual authority sometimes. Make an effort to actually listen when your hubby shares his thoughts and hot takes, even if the topic couldn’t bore you more.
Ask engaging follow-up questions that show you’re trying to understand his perspective. If you disagree, have an open-minded discussion about it rather than immediately shutting it down.
He’ll feel valued knowing you see him as a knowledgeable equal whose opinions matter. Just don’t let those debates get too heated – no need to be calling each other names like you’re on a presidential debate stage! A little curiosity from you can go a long way.
35. Send Him a Care Package When He’s Away
Whether your husband is on an extended work trip or just spending guys’ weekend away, surprise him with a thoughtful care package!
Stock it with all his favorite snacks and creature comforts from home. You could include a silly shirt or pair of boxer shorts for laughs too. Write a heartfelt letter expressing how much you miss him.
Toss in some sexy Polaroids if you’re feeling frisky! Maybe even make him a iTunes playlist of songs that remind you of him.
The personalized effort will make him feel loved from miles away. Just be sure to wrap everything discreetly unless you want airport security thinking you’re trafficking contraband!
36. Collaborate on a Project Together
They say the couple that slays home improvement projects together, stays together! Is there a little fixer-upper or crafty DIY you both have been putting off?
Make a date of it and tackle that bad boy as a team. Crank up the music, order some pizza, and get to work. Sure, there may be some creative differences and possible power tool injuries along the way.
But focusing on a tangible goal while combining your skills forges a real sense of accomplishment when it’s done.
Who knows, you may evenuncover a surprising hidden talent in each other! Just seal it all with a sweaty congratulatory kiss when you admire your handiwork.
37. Learn Something New Together
Why not shake up your usual dinner-and-a-movie routine by picking up a new skill as a couple?
The bonding experience of being beginners together builds patience and brings you closer. Feeling adventurous?
Sign up for salsa or rock climbing lessons and prepare to look like two uncoordinated baby deer. If you prefer a lazier approach, you could master the art of home brewing beers or baking French pastries from the comfort of your kitchen.
Whatever you choose, there’s nothing sexier than watching your partner fearlessly take on a challenge.
Just don’t get too competitive about who’s the fastest learner unless you want somebody sleeping on the couch!
38. Plan a Surprise Party for Him
Doesn’t matter if it’s a milestone birthday or just being an all-around awesome husband – everyone loves a good surprise party!
Start by gathering intel from his friends and family to ensure you cover all his favorite things. Tasty snacks and beer? Duh. Maybe an appearance from his weird celebrity crush?
Now you’re talking!
Dazzle up your place with silly decorations and fill it with all his loved ones. Just be sure to have someone distract him while you set everything up.
When he walks through that door to a roaring chorus of cheers, his face will be absolute priceless. Just have your phone ready to capture that initial jaw-drop for posterity!
39. Encourage Him to Pursue His Passions
We all have those pie-in-the-sky dreams that tend to get pushed aside for life’s responsibilities.
For your husband, it could be anything from writing a novel to restoring a classic car. Whatever his long-held ambition may be, give him a supportive nudge to finally go for it!
Lend an ear as he excitedly rambles about his vision. Offer to help break bigger goals into manageable steps.
And most importantly, be his biggest cheerleader through the inevitable setbacks and doubts.
He needs to know you have his back 100% on this journey.
40. Be Forgiving and Understanding
Let’s face it, even the best partners screw up sometimes. Maybe he worked late again without calling or finally admitted to disliking your famous tuna casserole.
Whatever the “crime,” resist the urge to lash out or make him sleep on the couch. Taking a breather and trying to see his perspective can go a long way toward resolving conflicts.
We all have our flaws and bad days – extending forgiveness shows you’re in this together through thick and thin.
Of course, if he did something truly unforgivable like blasting Nickelback around the house, those are grounds for divorce.
But otherwise, kill him with kindness and watch the power of understanding melt away resentment.
41. Celebrate Milestones Together
Whether it’s a work promotion, finishing that home renovation, or simply making it through another year of marital bliss, taking time to celebrate your wins is so important!
Don’t just let big moments pass by unacknowledged. Plan a nice dinner out, open up some bubbly, or even take a little weekend getaway to revel in the occasion.
Scatter confetti around the house if you’re feeling extra festive! Relive the struggle and reminisce about how far you’ve both come.
Commemorating those major milestones reinforces your partnership and provides a happy memory boost during life’s inevitable rough patches. Just don’t go overboard unless he finally achieved his dream of becoming a professional V8 supercar driver.
42. Surprise Him with a Thoughtful Gift
Guys may act all macho about not needing material things, but even the most stoic husband can’t resist a well-planned surprise gift. The key is tapping into his specific interests and paying attention to the little comments he makes.
Did he obsessively research which gaming console to buy despite already owning three?
Boom, get him that nifty controller he wanted! Or maybe he rambles about his grandpa’s vintage watch whenever visiting your in-laws. You see where I’m going with this.
The more random and personalized, the better!
Just be sure to hide those Amazon charges unless you want to blow the surprise way too soon.
43. Leave Encouraging Sticky Notes on His Mirror
Kick your man’s day off right by leaving little reminders of your love and support stuck to the bathroom mirror.
Use colorful Post-Its to pen inspirational quotes, inside jokes, or simply reasons why he’s the raddest hubby around. “You’ve got this, babe!” or “Your dad bod is smokin’ hot!” are always winners.
Get creative with doodles and puns too for some laughs first thing in the morning. He may act too “manly” to admit it, but those affirmations provide a big self-esteem boost.
Just be sure to swap out the stickies regularly unless you want your encouraging words overshadowed by toothpaste splats and facial hair remnants. Gross.
44. Share Inside Jokes
One of the beauties of long-term partnerships is the treasure trove of funny inside jokes you’ve amassed over the years.
Reliving those private memories keeps the laughs rolling and your unique bond strong. Reminisce about that time he mistakenly called the pizza guy at 2am or how you famously bungled the lyrics to your wedding song. Give each other knowing looks and codewords that only you two understand.
The more silly and nonsensical, the better! Just be sure any inappropriate or embarrassing references are well out of earshot of your kids or his colleagues.
Some things are better kept between two kindred spirts who find utter silliness in life’s strangest moments.
45. Write a Love Poem for Him
Sure, most guys will claim that mushy love poems make them cringe. But you know your man has a soft squishy center dying to be swooned by your romantic wordsmithing!
Channel your inner Shakespeare and craft some heartfelt (or raunchy) rhymes dedicated to your one and only. Don’t stress too much about making it a literary masterpiece – it’s the vulnerability and personal touches that count most.
Throw in inside jokes, cute nicknames, and allusions to your most cherished moments together.
Heck, you can even present it in a silly way, like a fortune cookie or skywritten message if you’re feeling ambitious. No matter how you do it, he’ll secretly melt over this swoon-worthy gesture.
46. Share Your Dreams and Aspirations with Him
Goals, hopes, dreams – whatever you want to call them, sharing your deepest aspirations strengthens intimacy.
Don’t just breeze through the “What are your goals?” question on date nights. Truly open up to your partner about those public and private visions you hold for the future.
Want to finally start that quirky small business?
Lay it all out there, complete with strategies and timelines if you’re really organized. Hoping to take up amateur beekeeping? Don’t hold back those delightfully bizarre ambitions either!
The more honest and vulnerable you can be, the more your husband will feel invested in helping those dreams become reality.
47. Take Photos Together to Cherish Memories
In this era of smartphone cameras, there’s no excuse not to be capturing all those precious moments!
Get snap-happy and document all the big events, silly milestones, and random bursts of joy with your husband.
Don’t just resort to standard posed pictures either. Candid shots of him making goofy faces or acting like a doofus can be even more meaningful. Print out your favorite photos to display around the house as sweet reminders. Or take it a step further by putting together a yearly photo album or collage – he’ll adore having a tangible keepsake.
48. Cook a Romantic Dinner at Home
Eating out all the time gets expensive and old pretty quickly.
Why not channel your inner restaurant chef for an intimate dinner experience at home? Rose petals on the table? Of course. Fancy schmancy candles to set the mood? You know it.
You could even get really cheesy and have Marvin Gaye crooning softly in the background. Keep the meal itself relatively simple but indulgent – like juicy steaks, garlic mashed potatoes, and a decadent chocolate dessert.
The real romance comes in the extra details like clothbound drinks or leaving flirty notes at each setting. If all else fails, at least you can use those edible underwear for the main course!
49. Support His Health Goals
Whether your husband is aiming to shed some quarantine pounds or finally kick his weird habitual Twinkie bingeing, being a supportive partner is key. Stock up on healthy snacks he actually enjoys to avoid temptation.
Better yet, get those endorphins pumping together with active date nights like hikes, bike rides, or even something fun like rock climbing! Celebrate non-scale victories and avoid criticism – this is a journey, not a sprint. If he slips up, don’t harp on it.
With an understanding cheerleader by his side, he’ll be feeling motivated and accomplished in no time!
50. Dance Together in the Living Room
When is the last time you two total goofballs just let loose and danced around the house like nobody was watching?
Crank up the tunes, push the furniture aside, and start getting delightfully silly! Take turns showing off your finest cringe-worthy moves from bygone eras as you shimmy and twirl around the living room. Don’t be afraid to go all out with your most overanimated hair-metal windmills or sprinkler spins.
If you’re feeling extra adventurous, slow things down for a sensual nuzzle and sway. Just be sure to avoid anything too provocative unless you’re prepared for an awkward conversation with the kiddos later! Dancing together nurtures playfulness and closeness.
51. Give Him a Sincere Apology When Needed
Look, we all screw up sometimes – even in the strongest marriages. When you’ve messed up and hurt your husband’s feelings, own it like an adult.
A halfhearted “sorry” muttered under your breath won’t cut it. Sit him down, make eye contact, and sincerely apologize without making excuses. Explain that you understand how your actions impacted him and that it won’t happen again.
Chances are he’ll appreciate the accountability and honesty.
If appropriate, you can discuss compromises or solutions too. Just don’t be that person who tries bargaining their way out of it with a “But you also…” No one likes a “sorry not sorry” cop-out. A little humility and empathy go a long way.
52. Attend His Favorite Sports Games with Him
Does your man pretty much bleed his favorite team’s colors?
Even if you couldn’t care less about the big game, put on a smile and tag along to support his passion!
Get decked out in the jersey, memorize a few key player names, and try your best to learn the basic rules so you can follow along. When his crew scores, celebrate like your life depends on it.
But maybe don’t absentmindedly check Instagram when the action heats up…unless you want him waving his giant foam finger in your face! Grab a couple beers, hot dogs, and embrace getting rowdy and carried away by the contagious energy.
53. Be His Confidante
In the circus of life, marriage should be the one safe space to let it all hang out – the good, bad, and ugly.
Be that judgment-free zone where your husband can go full unfiltered without fear of ridicule or criticism.
If he needs to vent about office politics, family drama, or just bizarre intrusive thoughts, lend an empathetic ear. Make him feel heard, validated, and understood on the deepest level. This vulnerability breeds true emotional intimacy.
54. Plan a Surprise Outing to His Favorite Place
Everybody has that one special place that feels like home – a local brewery, cozy bookstore, random burger joint.
Whatever your guy’s beloved haunt may be, plan a sneaky surprise outing to treat him! Sort out all the logistics in advance like making reservations, prepping supplies, and creating a cover story to throw him off.
Maybe you’ll pack a picnic to take to his favorite hiking trail? Or arrange private tours at the video game museum he’s obsessed with? Bonus points if you incorporate cherished memories somehow, like revisiting your first date spot. No matter the destination, an impromptu whirlwind adventure celebrating his favorite things is sure to delight and strengthen your bond.
55. Learn to Cook His Favorite Dish
You know that dish he always raves about when you go to that restaurant? Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could make it for him at home? Imagine the look on his face when he takes that first bite and realizes his wife has mastered his all-time favorite meal!
Sure, it might take some practice, but think of the brownie points you’ll earn. Plus, you’ll save money by not having to go out every time he gets a craving. Doesn’t that sound like a win-win?
56. Do a Household Chore He Dislikes
We all have those tasks we dread – whether it’s taking out the trash, cleaning the gutters, or scrubbing the toilets.
But what if you took one of those off his plate?
Imagine how relieved he’d be to come home and find that dreaded chore already done! He might even do a little happy dance (or at least crack a smile). It’s the little things that show you care, right? Plus, you’ll get to enjoy a chore-free evening together.
57. Surprise Him with Breakfast Delivery at Work
You know that feeling when you’re stuck at work, already dragging by mid-morning? Well, imagine your husband’s face lighting up when a delivery person shows up with a hot, delicious breakfast – courtesy of his amazing wife! He’ll be the envy of the office as he digs into those fluffy pancakes or that egg sandwich he loves.
And you can bet he’ll be grinning from ear to ear, knowing you were thinking of him. It’s a small gesture that’ll make his day and remind him how lucky he is to have you.
58. Reminisce About Your Favorite Memories Together
Remember that time you went on that epic road trip and got caught in the rain dancing outside?
Or how about when you tried making his mom’s famous recipe and ended up covered in flour? Those silly, sweet moments are what make your relationship so special.
So why not take a walk down memory lane together?
Curl up on the couch, pull out those old photos, and relive all the hilarious and heartwarming adventures you’ve shared.
The inside jokes, the traditions, the stories only you two know – that’s the good stuff! You’ll be cracking up one minute and getting all mushy the next. Doesn’t it just make you grateful for each other?
59. Take Him on a Scenic Drive
When was the last time you two just hopped in the car and went for a nice, leisurely drive? With no particular destination in mind, just cruising and taking in the sights together? It’s the perfect way to get some quality one-on-one time without any distractions.
Roll down the windows, crank up the tunes, and let the road take you where it may. You might discover a cute little town you’ve never explored or just enjoy the changing scenery.
Who knows, you may even revert back to those giddy days of young love, sneaking glances and hand-holding like teens.
60. Share a Hobby Together
Okay, be honest – how much couple time have you sacrificed to pursue your own hobbies and interests?
Whether it’s his weekly round of golf or your yoga class, sometimes you need a hobby you can truly share. It’ll not only give you something fun to bond over, but you’ll get to see new sides of each other. Who knows, he might surprise you with his painting skills or you might turn out to be a total pro at that video game.
The key is keeping an open mind and being willing to try new things together. You’ll make amazing memories.
61. Support Him in Trying New Things
Routine is comfortable, but you know what they say – a little adventure is good for the soul!
So when your husband expresses interest in trying something new, be his biggest cheerleader. Whether it’s taking a pottery class, learning to surf, or going skydiving (yikes!), encourage him to go for it.
He’ll not only gain a new skill, but stepping outside his comfort zone will give him a nice confidence boost too.
And you get to share in the excitement of his latest pursuit!
62. Pack His Lunch with a Love Note
Sure, a simple brown bag may not seem very romantic. But you know what will melt your man’s heart? Finding a sweet little love note tucked inside when he goes to unwrap his sandwich. It’s such a small gesture, but those few sentences can brighten his whole day.
Share an inside joke, remind him why you love him, or just doodle a cheesy pun – whatever puts a smile on his face! He’ll be feeling like the luckiest guy around as his co-workers peek over with jealous eyes.
And you can bet he’ll be counting down the minutes until he can rush home to smother you with appreciation.
63. Watch the Sunset Together
With your busy lives, it’s easy to let the days blur together.
But every now and then, you need to simply pause and soak in one of life’s simple pleasures – like watching the sunset.
Drop whatever you’re doing one evening and head outside to catch those brilliant red-orange hues as the sun dips below the horizon. You can cuddle up, enjoy a glass of wine, and just bask in the beauty together. Or maybe pack a little picnic and tap into your inner child laughing and running around in the dreamy magic-hour lighting.
Either way, it’s the perfect excuse to slow down and reconnect, even just for a little while.
64. Plan a Romantic Candlelit Dinner
When was the last time you really went all out for date night?
We’re talking the full romantic shebang – dimmed lights, flickering candles, soft music playing in the background.
Doesn’t that just sound dreamy?
Take an evening to whip up his favorite meal or pick up a fancy takeout feast. Then set the mood with some mood lighting and maybe even a bottle of that wine you’ve been saving.
As you linger over your delicious food, you can flirt and gaze lovingly into each other’s eyes, just like when you were newlyweds. No distractions, no interruptions, just quality time together.
By the end of the night, he’ll be feeling totally spoiled and reminded of why he’s one lucky guy.
65. Take Him on a Spontaneous Adventure
Relationships need a little spontaneity to keep the spark alive! So next weekend, throw out the usual routine and take your man on a spur-of-the-moment adventure.
Maybe it’s heading out for a random road trip without a plan or destination. Or exploring a new hiking trail you’ve never tried. You could even do something crazy like hopping on the next flight out to somewhere you’ve always wanted to visit!
The possibilities are endless as long as you let yourselves get a little wild and cheesy – like frolicking through a field of flowers wild (no judgement here!). It’ll make you feel like lovestruck teens all over again as you create new, exciting memories together.
66. Share a Deep Conversation
In the midst of balancing careers, kids, chores and all life’s distractions, it’s easy to let your relationship get a bit… surface level.
So set aside some quality time to really open up and reconnect on a deeper level. Light a cozy fire, snuggle up on the couch and let the conversation wander. Share your latest thoughts, dreams and feelings – all the stuff you may not get a chance to vocalize usually.
Or take a stroll down memory lane and reminisce about your favorite moments. The goal is to be fully present and listen to understand one another better. You may uncover new layers to your relationship or gain a newfound appreciation for your partner.
Either way, it’ll definitely bring you closer.
67. Send Him a Virtual Hug or Kiss
You know those random moments during the workday when you find yourself thinking about your husband and missing his presence?
Rather than just letting that warm, fuzzy feeling pass, do something about it! Shoot him a quick text or email with a virtual hug or kiss to let him know he’s on your mind. It’s such a simple gesture, but those little reminders that you’re thinking of him can brighten his whole day.
Just picture his face lighting up the second he gets that notification from you. He’ll no doubt be daydreaming about snuggling up with you later. So go ahead, send that pixelated smooch his way! It’s guaranteed to put a smile on his face.
68. Be His Sounding Board
Men aren’t always the best at expressing what’s really going on in their heads and hearts. That’s why it’s so important to create a safe, judgment-free zone where your husband can open up.
Make it clear you’re ready to listen whenever he needs to get something off his chest – whether it’s venting about a rough day at work or working through bigger worries and decisions.
Don’t problem-solve unless he asks. Sometimes guys just need to talk it out and have someone hear them. Let him know you’re his biggest fan and supporter, no matter what.
Having you as a sounding board will only deepen your emotional connection and make him feel that much more loved.
69. Encourage Him to Pursue His Interests
Remember that hobby or activity your husband is always saying he wishes he had more time for?
Well, quit letting him make excuses!
It’s time to be his personal hype man and motivate him to finally dive in. Think of how invigorated and confident he’ll feel by picking up that long-forgotten pastime. Whether it’s woodworking, learning a new language, or training for a marathon, show your full-throated support and encouragement every step of the way.
Compliment his progress, clear his schedule when needed, and remind him of how attractive a passionate, driven man is.
Before you know it, he’ll be thanking you for giving him that loving push to enrich his life.
70. Be Spontaneous and Playful
Life can feel pretty routine and mundane when you’re caught up in the daily grind. That’s why you need to shake things up for your man every now and then! Surprise him by playing hooky from work one day and whisking him away for an impromptu adventure.
Or greet him at the door wearing something ridiculously silly – like a wacky outfit or wig – and just try to get a laugh out of him.
You could even engage in a old-fashioned pillow fight or prank war to channel your inner kid!
The key is to be fearlessly goofy and remind your husband not to take things so seriously all the time. That sense of spontaneity and playfulness is sure to reignite those butterflies.
71. Share Your Fears and Vulnerabilities
True intimacy goes beyond just the physical. It’s about being open and vulnerable with your partner on the deepest level.
So every once in a while, peel back the layers and share those deep-rooted fears, insecurities or worries you’ve been bottling up.
It takes courage, but true connection comes from being real and embracing each other’s flaws and all. Your husband will appreciate you trusting him enough to expose that tender side.
And who knows, he may just reveal parts of himself he’s never shared before. Though it can be uncomfortable at first, being emotionally naked together will only strengthen that unbreakable bond you share.
72. Create a Bucket List Together
What’s on your life’s wildest wishlist?
Make it a fun date by grabbing drinks or dessert somewhere cozy and dreaming up all the amazing adventures you hope to experience together. Maybe it’s finally taking that dream beach vacation or splurging on season tickets to your favorite team.
Or maybe your goals are more daring, like running a marathon or skydiving (yikes!).
Even if some seem far-fetched, there’s no harm in daydreaming! And who knows, putting it out into the universe could be just the motivation you need to start checking off those hopes and dreams one by one.
Does anything get your blood pumping more than imagining yourselves living life to the fullest?
73. Send Him a Funny Meme or Joke
Relationships need humor to survive, right?
So whenever you stumble upon a dopey meme or silly joke that makes you snort-laugh, share that gold with your husband.
There’s nothing better than making your loved one smile and crack up, even from a distance. Just picture him staring at his phone with that goofy grin, probably thinking about what a hilarious weirdo you are.
And, if he’s having a rough day, a perfectly-timed giggle could be just the thing to lift his mood. Bottom line, never underestimate the power of laughter to keep those honeymoon phase vibes alive!
74. Share a Book You Both Enjoy
When’s the last time you and your husband really got sucked into a good book together? Put down the electronics for once and rediscover the timeless joy of getting lost in the same story.
It’ll give you something exciting to bond over beyond your usual Netflix binges. You can spend hours analyzing the plot and characters over a glass of wine, reigniting those intense book-club discussions.
And when you finally get to the epic conclusion, finish it off with a movie-date celebration. There’s just something inexplicably romantic about being consumed by the same tale.
75. Write Down Reasons Why You Love Him
You know all those little quirks and qualities about your husband that make you weak in the knees?
Well, why not put pen to paper and spell them out for him!
Grab a cute notepad or card and start jotting down all the things you adore, from his corny dad jokes to the way he lovingly gazes at you when you’re not looking.
Don’t hold back – let those heartfelt mushy gushings flow! Just imagine the look on his face as he reads through the list and is reminded of why you fell for him in the first place. He’ll be bursting with pride and feeling like the luckiest guy alive.
76. Surprise him with tickets to a concert.
Remember that band he’s been dying to see live, but you figured tickets would be impossible to get? Well, imagine his jaw dropping when you surprise him with a pair anyway!
Doesn’t that just make your heart swell thinking about how insanely stoked he’ll be? He’ll definitely be bragging to everyone about his awesome wife who hooked it up.
Picture his childlike excitement as the show gets closer, rambling on about potential setlists and whipping out that old band tee from college.
And of course, actually being there surrounded by the booming music and electric energy will be a bonding experience you’ll never forget.

Plus, all those flick-inspired snuggle sessions? Yes please! Just try not to get too distracted fighting over what to watch next. It’s meant to be a fun escape from the real world after all!
78. Share a dessert together.
Sharing is caring – especially when decadent sweets are involved! There’s something so intimately romantic about splitting a deliciously indulgent dessert with your spouse.
Whether you go out for a fancy candlelit lava cake situation or just stay in with a good old pint of ice cream, it gives you an excuse to cozy up and bond over every delightful bite.

80. Write him a gratitude journal.
With life’s incessant hustle and bustle, it’s all too easy to take your husband for granted without even realizing it.
So why not start a gratitude journal specifically devoted to documenting all the big and little things he does that makes your heart swell? Jot down those sweet gestures, meaningful moments, and everything in between that reminds you of how lucky you are.
Then surprise him by slipping the notebook into his bag or stowing it somewhere he’ll unexpectedly find it.
As he flips through page after page listing heartfelt reasons why you appreciate him, there’s no way he won’t feel valued and cherished. It’ll breathe new perspective into your relationship!
81. Cook a meal together.

And let’s not discount the romantic perk of getting to snack on tasty morsels straight off the counter!
By the time you’re sitting down to enjoy your culinary masterpiece, you’ll have reconnected over the simple pleasure of providing for one another.

Does your husband have a big milestone birthday or life event on the horizon? If so, it’s the perfect excuse to throw him an epic surprise party with all his nearest and dearest!

It’s the perfect recipe for making him feel cherished!
84. Learn to speak his love language.
We all have our own unique ways of feeling most loved – quality time, words of affirmation, physical touch, you name it.
So take some time to observe how your husband truly thrives when it comes to receiving love and affection. Once you’ve figured out his prime love language, make an effort to “speak” it more often.
If he’s crazy about spending uninterrupted one-on-one time, plan more date nights in. Is he a physical touch kind of guy? Initiate more cuddles and hand-holding. Does he live for words of appreciation? Start peppering in more vocal compliments. Adapting to his specific needs will make him feel so understood.
85. Be affectionate in public.
There’s just something so giddily sweet and romantic about being that lovey-dovey couple who simply can’t keep their hands off each other – even in front of an audience! So don’t be afraid to get all snuggly and smoochy in public every now and then.
Whether you’re gently caressing his arm as you stroll or slyly graze his backside while running errands, watch his face scrunch up trying to stifle that boyish grin.

88. Share your favorite music with him.
Sure, you may have bonded over shared bands and tunes when you first met. But don’t you want to keep discovering and sharing new sounds together for years to come?
Take some time to dig up playlists of songs that speak to you and explain why they resonate so deeply.
You’ll get such a kick out of seeing your hubby’s face as he’s exposed to fresh genres, artists, and melodies that move you.

90. Go stargazing together.

Imagine him blushing and melting into a giddy puddle as you serenade those private jokes, meaningful moments, and salacious details only he’d understand.
Let the lyrics flow from the deepest chambers of your heart. He’ll undoubtedly cherish this ultimate love letter for years to come.
96. Share your hopes and dreams with him.
How well does your husband really know the vastness of your inner ambitions and the wildest dreams dancing around in your heart and mind? It’s so easy to get consumed with your day-to-day reality that you forget to pause and openly share your loftiest visions for the future.
So take a night to draw a proverbial line in the sand – open up about those big personal milestones and reinventions you hope to achieve. Tell him how you aspire to push yourself out of your comfort zones, pursue new passions, or give back more to the world.
Don’t hold back on indulging your greatest “what ifs.” He’ll gain deeper insight into the endless well of yearning inside you.

With just the two of you bathed in moonlight and romantic atmosphere, it’ll be downright cosmic. Romance ultimately transcends any simple materialistic gestures.
99. Create a playlist of songs that remind you of him.
Music has a funny way of attaching itself to precious memories and people, doesn’t it? So why not compile a deeply personal playlist of all the tunes that somehow capture the unique magic of your husband and your love story?
It could be the cheesy 80s ballad you danced to at your wedding, or that catchy pop tune that was playing during your first road trip together. Maybe there are songs with lyrics that perfectly encapsulate his qualities, your inside jokes, or meaningful moments you’ve shared.
As he listens, each track will instantly trigger a tidal wave of nostalgia and reminiscence. He’ll be incredibly touched that you went to such creative lengths to soundtrack your romance.
100. Renew your vows to each other.
Why should the monumental commitment of marriage only be celebrated once? Take time to resurrect that overwhelming rush of emotion by renewing your sacred vows in an intimate ceremony for two.
