85 ways to show you LOVE him

Ways to Show You Love Him

1. Pick up a little snack for him at the store (or make him one) that he can take to work with him the next day.
2. Cuddle while you watch a movie
3. Warm a towel for him while he’s in the shower, so a hot towel is waiting for him instead of a cold bathroom.
4. Drop off Starbucks to him at his work.
5. Do all the laundry in the house.
6. Thank him for taking care of you in all of the ways that he does. Spiritually, financially, mentally, friendship, etc.
7. Sincerely thank him for the things he does for your family.
8. Write a brief love-note and stick it on his pillow or where he will find it easily.
9. Make his favorite meal for dinner.
10. Play the game “21 Questions” – get to know your spouse.  Even if you’ve been married for several years there are so many things to re-learn about our loved ones!
11. Show them we are their fan by telling someone else something we like about our hubby’s, once in their hearing if possible, the other time to get us in the habit of saying and thinking great things about our husbands.
12. Bring a plate of homemade cookies to him at work, enough to share with his co-workers.
13. Make your house a bit cleaner than normal, or spiffy it up in a special way.
14. Hot Coco waiting for him when he gets home (assuming, it is cold out), maybe a iced drink if it’s hot.

16. Get up with the kids and let him sleep in on the weekend.
17. Put on some lipstick before he gets home!

19. Let him know something positive that someone said to you about your husband.
20. Pick a 24hr period and try not to complain about anything to him during that time.
21. Date night at home after you put the kids to bed early.

23. Do something extra special to greet your DH when he gets home tonight. If you usually greet with a smile, add a smooching session, if you greet over the noise of the kids from the other room, meet him at the door, if you are wonder woman, add a favorite meal or something else that is different for you.
24. Make your DH/SO laugh.  Get a good belly laugh out of him to get rid of the stress he’s been accumulating all day.

83. Swing by his work and leave something in his car, then I take a photo of his car with my phone and send it to him to let him know I was by…
