Hellobee Boards

I make an effort to cook some of his favorite meals each week, I'll fill up his gas tank if I use his car, I encourage him to either sleep in or take a nap on Sundays because that is his only full day off from work. He loves when I stop what I'm doing to come say hi and give him a kiss when he gets home from work. I didn't know how much that meant to him until I spent a week doing it every day and it improved his mood in the evenings so much! Such a little gesture which made such a huge impact for us.

I pack his lunch and make a big deal about meals, which is important to him.

i do his laundry, put out his cereal bowl in the morning, get the kids dressed every day, put his empty beer bottles in recycling...we're very romantic.

@ChiCalGoBee: wow!

I should totally do more for DH! He does tons for me and I feel bad!

I def feel like DH does way more for me now that I think about it

I do things that speak to his love language.. Verbally praising him and supporting him, and also lots of cuddles and sex (as much as I can manage...)

@petunia354: Love the idea of stopping what you're doing and greeting him when he comes in. I am actually the one who usually comes home to him but I'm going to start doing this when he is out and comes back.

His love language is acts of service so it's mostly doing things for him along the lines of packing his lunch. I like some of the ideas here! My love language is gifts, which he hates, and I hate acts of service, so it's hard.

awww you are such good wifey's. I need to do more stuff like this. He takes SUCH good care of me because my life has been so crazy for the last 1.5 years.

His love language is definitely touch. So I think he loves it when I initiate intimacy, or if I do things like just go kiss him or hold his hand. After so many years of marriage, you kind of just stop doing that, so it takes some intentional effort to be affectionate.

I do his laundry.

I make his lunch every day, and usually tuck a treat in there, try to cook his favorite dinners, bake cookies I know he likes, ask how his day was, text him pictures of the baby while he's at work,

Nothin really lol. Does cleaning his bathroom count? I get him surprise snacks sometimes? Then get in trouble for bringing it in whole he's trying to lose weight lol.

When he travels I will hide several photos I print from foxagram with notes on the back in his luggage.

At the store I will pick up a 22 oz of a beer he might like. Or junk food we usually don't eat like Cheetos or Doritos.

I try to keep the kitchen clean, I know it makes him happy to come home to at least that room in order- it's where our side door enters.

I pick up clothes for him occasionally at BR or order new boxers- something he does not think to do for himself.

I'll mail inked cards to his hotel if he is gone for a whole week. Sometimes I even send them to him at home.

I also cook basically whatever he wants- I love cooking so it's win/win. I made him gf chicken fried steak last week.

My husband 1000% takes care of me - cooks, makes coffee, tells me how beautiful I look when I get dressed. He's a lot more than I deserve.

So I give it up. A lot
It's very efficient and also mutually beneficial. I give him cards and do sweet things, and he appreciates it. But if we're making it happen every day or most days, that's what really counts lol.

ETA: I actually think if you just put out a lot for your husband you really don't need to do anything else, lol.

Wow. I just read all the responses and I'm shocked by the responses! I would have thought just doing your husband would be the best little thing you could do for him lol! Maybe mine's different, but he doesn't need me to take care of him, he can do that. But we are really attracted to each other, so....that's what we do for each other. We do each other, lol

My husband is extremely sexy though, so it's easy to be easy lol. He's gorgeous and I can't believe he's mine.

@BandDmommy: He is away for 3 weeks and then home every day for 3 weeks, and when he is home, we may skip a day here or there just due to whatever craziness, but we're both pretty amped to get it on just about every day. Dude, he's f'ing sexy.

@wrkbrk: It is! Though he sort of considers it an act of service to find a good gift, if that makes sense, so he has a a workaround! Also, food. For me it's more the finished product and for him it's more the process, but we love to cook for each other. Food is our mutual love language.
