101 Ways To Tell Your Husband, "I Love You"
79Pick 5 A Day And Watch Your Relationship Blossom!
As we enter into marriage, we may wonder how we ever lived life without our mate. We're focused on each other, and that makes us close. However, the longer we're married, our focus tends to turn to jobs, bills, or children and less on each other. Unfortunately, this causes many marriages to turn cold and some eventually die. Have you ever wondered how people stay married for 30, 40, or more years? Do you want your marriage to last a lifetime? The key is to stay focused on your mate. Here are some ways for you to show your husband your love. Choose at least five every day and watch your marriage blossom into a wonderful relationship!
- TEXT HIM A LOVE MESSAGE Send him a romantic text message on his cell. Make sure it's sweet but spicy!
- DO ONE OF HIS CHORES FOR HIM Pick a chore that he dreads, such as mowing the lawn, and do it for him. Watch him as he sighs with relief.
- START A HOBBY TOGETHER Sharing a hobby together such as horse back riding, completing a home improvement project, or selling on eBay can help keep you close.
- PLAY A GAME TOGETHER Have fun doing things together such as playing board games, riding bumper boats, or playing miniature golf. Just remember, if he should get the best of you, don't tackle him unless you're laughing!
- SHOW APPRECIATION When your husband works hard, or does something for you, let him know you appreciate him.
- MAKE YOUR HOME HIS REFUGE Let your home be a haven were your husband can retreat from the stresses of life. Do your best to make it a pleasant environment.
- LAUGH AT HIS ANTICS Don't let the little things that your husband does get on your nerves. If you think about it, some of these things may have been what attracted you to him! He just wouldn't be the same if he didn't do these things.
- PRAY FOR HIM Ask God to give him that extra boost to make everything OK. Let your husband hear you pray too. This will let him know that when you can't make it right, you'll ask someone who can.
- CHECK BEFORE THROWING THINGS AWAY If your husband has some things that seem useless to you, don't trash them until you've made sure he doesn't need them.
- CHECK BEFORE REARRANGING Ask your husband if it's OK before you move or straighten things on his desk or work area. If he has things where it's easy to find, it might make it chaotic if it's moved.
- TAKE A WALK OR A HIKE TOGETHER Let nature set the mood for romance! Talk, listen, and hold hands.
- DON'T EXPECT HIM TO READ YOUR MIND If there is something you want your husband to know about you, tell him. Don't expect him to just know what you're thinking or what you need.
- LAUGH TOGETHER Forget your adults for awhile, and just act silly together. Also, if something should go awry, try to find some humor in it somewhere. This will also reduce the stress of the situation.
- RESIST THE URGE TO SNOOP Don't sneak around and check up on your husband, if you want to know something, ask him to his face.
- GIVE HIM A ROMANTIC CARDDon't wait for a special occasion to give him a card. Find the most romantic card you can find and leave it in his car. Don't forget to add your own personal message! Maybe you'll even make him nervous, wondering if he forgot an anniversary!
- PACK HIS FAVORITE TREAT Buy his favorite candy bar or other treat, and pack it in his lunch with a love note.
- TAKE A BUBBLE BATH TOGETHER This is self-explanatory.
- E-MAIL HIM AN INVITATION FOR ROMANCE Invite him on a rendezvous with you! Build his anticipation, then tell him to RSVP!
- TAKE HIM TO TEST DRIVE HIS DREAM CAR Drive him to a car lot some Saturday, and let him test drive the car of his dreams - even though you probably won't buy it.
- LET HIM BUY THAT TOY Permit him to buy that toy he's been wanting so badly. Better yet, put some of your own things off, save the money and buy it for him yourself!
- TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE The future isn't as far away as it seems sometimes. Talk about where you'd like to be when you're married 50 years, and work on making those dreams happen.
- GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT Don't jump to conclusions if your husband has said or done something questionable. Give him the chance to explain before you pass judgement.
- LET HIM BE THE MAN OF THE HOUSE Although this is growing increasingly unpopular, it does still work. Just because your husband is in charge of the household doesn't mean that you can't share your opinions, it just means he's captain of the team.
- SAY, "I'M SORRY" Although you may not want to admit it, there will be times when you're in the wrong. Maybe you've said something hurtful or done something insensitive. Never have too much pride to tell him you're sorry.
- KEEP YOUR PROMISES If you told your husband you'd do something, make sure that you follow through.
- RUB HIS FEET Steer him to the recliner and pull off his shoes. Rub his feet for at least 20 minutes. It has been told that this may even improve his health!
- MAKE YOUR BEDROOM A LOVER'S PARADISE Turn your ordinary bedroom into any lover's dream without a lot of expense. Remove clutter and anything that doesn't belong, and replace it with scented candles and fresh flowers. Hang pretty curtains and find some comfy bedding. Place mirrors to reflect candlelight, and misting fountains for a romantic effect.
- WRITE A NOTE ON THE STEAMED-UP BATHROOM MIRROR While your husband is showering, sneak in and write, "I love you" on the steamed-up bathroom mirror. This will steam him up as well, especially if you seal it with your lip prints!
- PUT LOVE IN HIS SUDS I'm talking about a bar of soap! Scratch "I love you" into his soap so he'll find it the next time he showers. (You may not want to seal this note with your lip prints, though).
- GIVE HIM A MASSAGE Go buy some sweet smelling oils and turn your bedroom into a spa! Give your husband a full body massage and work out those aching muscles.
- PLAY ROMANTIC MUSIC Keep a good deal of romantic music on hand in your bedroom to help set the mood for romance.
- PUT A SIGN IN YOUR YARDPlace a sign in your yard such as, "THE WORLD'S GREATEST HUSBAND LIVES HERE." Let everyone know how special your husband is to you.
- LET BYGONES BE BYGONES If your husband has done or said something to hurt you, forgive him. Don't keep bringing up the past every time you get into a disagreement, especially if he has shown remorse.
- BE HONEST Don't hide things from your husband. Be open and transparent. This will help him trust you more.
- BRAG ON HIM IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDS Men naturally rely on boost in their ego now and then in order to stay confident. Let him hear you tell others about the great things he says and does.
- CLEAN HIS CAR FOR HIM Surprise him by giving his car a good detailed cleaning. If you don't want to tackle it yourself, have it professionally done.
- PUT HIS PICTURE IN WALLPAPER Let him know that you still think he's a gorgeous hunk by putting his picture on your computer desktop!
- BUY A BUMPER STICKER Put a "I Love My Husband" bumper sticker on your car.
- WORSHIP TOGETHER The couple who prays together, stays together. These will be very tender and special moments shared between the two of you, as well as important.
- EAT BY CANDLELIGHT Cook his favorite meal and light the candles. Take time to focus on each other, and to look into each others eyes.
- BE DEVOTED TO HIM One of the greatest gifts that you could ever give your husband is your true faithfulness. This includes physically, emotionally, and in your thoughts. If you're struggling with temptation, nip it in the bud. Tell him your feelings in a sensitive and loving way. Don't bottle anything up, this is asking for disaster.
- RUN YOUR FINGERS THROUGH HIS HAIR Or massage his temples if he doesn't have any. Do this while he relaxes. Remember, your touch is important to him.
- DON'T CONTRADICT HIM IN FRONT OF OTHERS This will only embarrass him and cause people to lose respect. This is especially important if you have children.
- DON'T CRITICIZE HIM IN FRONT OF OTHERS If you feel that your husband needs a bit of constructive criticism, make sure it's just that - constructive. Don't offer it at all unless it's in a loving way, and in private. Being criticized in front of others lowers self esteem and causes hurt feelings.
- DEFEND HIM Don't let others disrespect your husband. Even just a snide comment can hurt. Stick up for him. Don't let someone drive into the ground the most important person in your life.
- LOVE YOURSELF Many times we as women hold back on our husbands because of our own insecurities. Learn to let it go. The things that we're so worried about, usually don't even bother him. What bothers him is when we hold back. Remember, although this may sound strange, you can't really love someone until you love yourself.
- PAMPER HIM WHEN HE'S SICK Men love to be pampered, especially when they're sick. Make sure everything is comfortable and that he has his "special soup."
- LOOK HIM IN THE EYES Look your husband straight in the eyes when he talks to you. Not only will this show that you're interested in what he has to say, but there is something about looking straight into his eyes that will give you butterflies.
- DISPLAY YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS Don't tuck away your wedding photos after you've been married awhile, keep them on display. This will be a great reminder of how your love was at the beginning, and how much it has grown.
- DISPLAY YOUR MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE Frame the sacred document of your marriage. This will be a wonderful and constant reminder that your love is sealed, and you really do belong to each other.
- TRUST HIM Too many times wives just sit around and wait for their husbands to do something wrong. Cut him some slack and dare to believe in him.
- HAVE YOUR PHOTO MADE TOGETHER You may have done this when you were dating, but why not now? Get a current shot to place on the bedroom dresser or the desk at work.
- LET HIM WIN It is inevitable, even in healthy marriages, to argue occasionally. What would it really hurt to just let him win? At least you wouldn't be arguing.
- DON'T GO TO BED MAD Although you've probably heard this one for years, and it may have been your grandmother's first marriage advice to you, it is still true. Going to bed hurt or angry keeps feelings under the surface. When you wake up you don't want to continue the argument, so you you hold in your frustrations and they begin to mount. It's best to talk everything out, and fall asleep in each other's arms.
- DON'T COMPARE HIM Don't EVER, EVER compare your husband to another man - not even your father. Your husband is his own person and unique in his own ways. Love him for it.
- GREET HIM AT THE DOOR Don't wait for your husband to say, "Honey, I'm home!" Watch for him, and greet him at the door with a hug and kiss.
- MEND HIS CLOTHES Buy a sewing kit and repair those sock holes! Break down and sew on his popped-off buttons. This may increase his wardrobe by 20%!
- TALK IN CODE Pick a code word for something that only the two of you know the meaning for and say it openly in public. You'll have your own inside joke. This will help keep you close.
- HAVE A WRESTLING MATCH This will get you both laughing, and the closeness will be fun!
- WAKE HIM UP WITH KISSES Make his whole day go better by waking him up with kisses. He may even keep you there through breakfast!
- HELP HIM SHAVE This is a fun way to be close and to get you both laughing! (As long as your careful, that is).
- DEDICATE A SONG TO HIM Did you have a song that was "your song" while you were dating? Call up your local radio station and request it, and have them to dedicate it to your hubby!
- MAKE HIM A HEART-SHAPED BREAKFAST Make heart-shaped pancakes and heart-shaped toast! Trim little pads of butter into heart shapes as well.
- DON'T TRY TO BE HIS MOM Remember you are his wife, not his mother. Don't jump him every time he leaves something on the floor or his clothes don't match. It's OK to lovingly remind him, occasionally, but don't nag him.
- GRAB A KISS WHILE YOU WAIT Kiss your husband while you're waiting at the stoplight or in the food drive-through. Your wait won't seem near as long, and you may wish it could last a littler longer!
- FLIRT WITH HIM Just because you've snagged him, don't stop flirting! Wink at him, squeeze his muscles and, WHOOOO, or now that your married, it's not at all out of line to be a little bolder in your purpose.
- GO ON A LONG DRIVE Go for a long drive and sight see. This is an excellent chance to talk or just be in each other's company. The way gas prices are, you'd almost have to love someone in order to take a long drive. If you don't want to spend the gas, drive to a pretty park or lake and just stop and soak up the scenery while you talk and hold hands.
- BE HIS BEST FRIEND Let him feel confident that you'll always be there when needs to talk, to laugh, or even cry. Let him be free to be himself at all times and stick with him through the thick and thin.
- EAT AN ICE CREAM CONE TOGETHER Buy one, large cone, and eat it together at the same time. You may miss the cone, and touch his lips, which will even be sweeter!
- CHERISH THE SMALL THINGS Concentrate on the way he walks, the way he talks, his smile, or the way he says your name. These are really more important than you think, and no one can do it quite like him.
- HELP HIM WITH HIS CLOTHES Ask him to let you help with the buttoning or unbuttoning of his clothes as he's dressing or undressing. Caress him gently as you're doing it.
- KEEP YOURSELF ATTRACTIVE It's easy to fall into a "house wife" mode and just walk around in "cleaning clothes" with your hair twisted into a mess. That's OK while your actually cleaning, but try to be more presentable by the time your husband sees you. Bathe, put on clean clothes and a dab of perfume, and set your hair nice.
- DON'T PUSH THE BUDGET It is important to learn to live within your means. If you can't afford certain things, don't buy them. Financial stress is very hard on marriages.
- DON'T COMPLAIN Don't complain about your standard of living or whine about the things that you don't have. If your husband is doing his best to provide for you, make the best with what you have. If you complain, this makes him feel that he is not a good provider, and this is a great blow to his self esteem.
- HAVE A PILLOW FIGHT If you must fight with your husband, do it with pillows! Make sure nothing is around that can break, then go into battle! See how long you can go without laughing.
- LOOK OUT FOR HIS HEALTH Encourage your husband to get plenty of sleep and exercise. Try to get him to keep medical and dental appointments. Cook healthy meals, and give him nutritional supplements.
- BUY HIM SOME SEXY BOXERS Buy several pairs of sexy shorts for him! Try silky, colorful, and glow in the dark! Make sure you tell him what a hunk he is while he's wearing them!
- WEAR THE LINGERIE HE LOVES Some wives love it, some dread it, but just make sure you wear it!
- DARE TO BE BOLD Too often, wives wait for their husbands to make the first move in the bedroom. Try showing little aggression yourself once in awhile. This will majorly ignite your husband's passion, and the fireworks will begin!
- DON'T DEPRIVE HIM Husbands need sex probably more than wives need hugs and compliments. This is one of the main ways he feels loved. Naturally, there will be sometimes you don't feel like it. But even then, if you just give in, you will before it's over.
- SPLURGE OCCASIONALLY Although money is a precious commodity to many couples, try to find a way to splurge on something now and then. If you have children, find someone to care for them and get away for the weekend. If you can't afford a trip, find a hotel in or near your hometown with a jacuzzi. If it's still too costly, buy something that you both would enjoy, like a new CD.
- WORK ON YOUR WAYS It's easy to see and point out flaws in your husband, but if you're honest, you'll realize that you haven't earned a halo yet. Try to work on your own shortcomings and make yourself a better person.
- DON'T BE A PESSIMIST Try not to focus too much on the negative. Keep a positive outlook in your marriage.
- DON'T RUB IT IN IF YOU'RE RIGHT If you've disagreed on something and it turns out that you were right, don't gloat about it and throw it in his face.
- WASH EACH OTHERS HAIR Jump in the shower and suds up! Watch the water and soap trickle down his face as you wash his hair.
- EXAMINE HIS FEATURES Take a moment to delight in your husband's features. The shape of his nose, the set of his eyes. If he catches you staring, wink at him.
- SEEK HIS ADVICE Ask for your husband's input and advice on anything from children to what he might like to eat. This will let him know he's needed and that his thoughts are important.
- KEEP TIDY Keep things neat and tidy around the house. Decorate and make things look comfortable and welcoming.
- TALK ABOUT HIS INTERESTS Bring up a subject that interests him and listen to him talk. Even if the subject doesn't interest you, enjoy watching him as he gets stirred up over the topic.
- SHOP FOR HIM When you run to the store, see if there is something that you should pick up for him. This could save him a lot of time or keep him from missing a lunch break.
- KIDNAP HIM Plan a special evening, make all the arrangements, then show up at his job just as he gets off work. Tell him to get in the car and no questions. (Make sure you smile, so he don't get alarmed). Whisk him away for a fun-filled evening, then return to get his car later.
- RAKE LEAVES TOGETHER Go to your back yard and rake up a pile of leaves. Before you bag them up, play in them together.
- DON'T LIVE IN A FANTASY WORLD If you can't read a novel without getting depressed over your love life, throw them away. Many books or movies can portray romance in very unrealistic ways. True love and romance is what he is already doing -providing for you and loving you unconditionally.
- GO CAMPING TOGETHER Find a good camp site and pitch a tent! Buy a two person sleeping bag.
- DON'T TALK HIS LEG OFF IF HE'S TIRED If your husband is tired and you need to talk to him, go straight to the bottom line and spare the details.
- SLOW DANCE IN YOUR BEDROOM Plug in some flashing lights and turn on some romantic music and start slow dancing. (Clothes optional).
- PLAY HIDE AND GO SEEK IN YOUR NIGHTIES Put on your sexiest negligee and challenge him to a game of hide and go seek. He'll say, "Ready or not, here I come!"
- MAKE LOVE UNDER THE STARS Find a secluded place and throw out a sleeping bag. Make love by the moonlight as you gaze at the stars.
- SIT IN FRONT OF A FIRE TOGETHER Snuggle up together in front of the fireplace and make out. If you don't have a fire place, consider buying an electric one, these look realistic, and are still romantic.
- DOTE ON HIM Pick a night and wait on him hand and foot. Draw him a bath, fix his plate for him, and anything else that you can dream up!
- JUST SAY IT Make it a point to say the words I love you every single day, and mean it.

Great Work Keep Going
Great list! I have been married nearly 28years and I can say that it works.
fantastic list. i'm not read all yet but found interesting and valuable. keep on good work
Whooooo! Whooo!! Nice List!!!! Sometimes we as women we consentrate on what were deprived, but if we would borrow some of these ideas, we would both feel loved and fulfilled.
Well done! I agree with singingmommy...we as women can have the tendency to get together and complain about our husbands. What we should be doing is talking about how wonderful they are. It would make us feel better instead of crabby! This is a GREAT hub!
Thanks for the comments. I have found when I do things to please my husband, I'm happy too!
I bet you are a happy couple, and you will stay happy for many years to come :)
Yes, we are very happy. Not perfect, but definitely happy. I'd marry him again in a heartbeat!
Great list! Reminds that the best things can be simple and inexpensive. Both husband and wife can do a "I feel loved when..." list to help their mate know what makes them feel loved, valued and appreciated.
Wonderful ideas! Any husband who gets five of these a day would feel like a king. ;-)
Blessed Mommy has a blessed husband! I've always marveled at God's instruction to put Him first, then your spouse (not yourself)... because if each of you does that, each of you will have your needs met above and beyond anything you ever could have done for yourself! I love how you treat your husband.
And needs include delighting the other... and the many, many little considerations and kindnesses.
It's true, too, that "foreplay" starts the minute you open your eyes in the morning. How you speak to each other, smile, patiently wait or comfort... kindnesses, little thoughtful things...
I also like to paraphrase Antoine de Saint Exupery who said, "Love consists not in gazing in each other's eyes, but in looking outward in the same direction." The best version: "...eyes, but in looking outward in the same direction toward God... and as you each focus on the one thing, on Him, He draws you ever closer together, as He is the peak of the triangle with each of you in on the base in perfect harmony and unity."
Thanks for the comments, everyone. Also, those were beautiful additional words of wisdom, Caregiver!
Interesting topic, nicely done. Keep up the good work.
I can't say I have done all of these..but many..loved for all the right reason's.and he still walked away after 33 years for a younger woman...but I still love him...better to have loved..and lost..than to have never loved at all. Keep up the good work my dear....G-Ma ;O)
It takes two to make a marriage work, G-Ma. I'll bet he misses you but is too prideful to admit it. At least you know you've done your part and don't have to live with regret. I'll be praying for you, you must be in pain.
So many great ideas! Thanks for that, I plan to try a few soon!
Well done I have been married for six years and still going strong!
I'm impressed that you actually listed all 101 ways. :-) You know how some people try to take shortcuts. This is great advice that I will definitely use. Thanks!
Congratulations on 6 years, leezj17! I wish you both many, many more!
Thanks everyone for the kind words and for stopping by! I hope that this list helps bring spice to your marriages!
This is great, just been married for about a month today. I intend trying this. Thanks for the tips, please keep more coming.
...nice ideas to avoid a break up...
Great tips. In 4 months it will be my 25th anniversary. Your hub just reminded me how important it is not to neglect one another and to not get so stuck in your own ways. Thanks for the reminder.
This is a wonderful list and so true!
Great ideas for keeping a healthy relationship blooming. Couples need all the help they can get nowadays. I know I will get in trouble for this comment but I believe feminism definitely caused problems with the dynamics of relationships. Although I am a fiercely independent woman I truly believe that a man needs to be needed. It's in their genetic makeup. They are programmed to take the lead and so your comment about "letting them be the man of the house" is right on. Women can take the lead in business and their careers (and they should!) But when it comes to relationships men like to be the protectors.
The happiest couples I've seen are the ones where the man truly knows he's needed and the woman relaxes and allows him to shower her with his devotion. It's a difficult concept for a lot of modern women to capitulate to. Too many equate needing someone (especially a man) with being weak. Which of course is simply not true. So kudos on a great list! It will surely keep the homes fires sizzling for years to come.
Abby, Congratulations on your new marriage! I hope that you have many years and that this list will help add to your blossoming romance.
Dottie1, I wish you the best on your Silver anniversary! May the next 25 be better than the first!
RFox, Thank you for the lovely words of wisdom that you've shared. These make an excellent addition to this page, and I am glad that you stopped by.
To everone else, I appreciate your comments and for reading my list. I hope that it helps bring more joy to your marriages -wishing you all the best!
Love it! Great info here.
this is great advised to all the couples
Great philosophy ! I've read many books but found little materials into those. But this article has focused almost every secrets of a loving and happy conjugal life. I must thank you very much for such nice revealation. Hope to read more valuable literature from you ! Bravuoooo !!!
Enam.

enamfs@yahoo.com
This was a beautiful list that applies to how a man can treat his lady, likewise. Thank you.
Okay, Blessedmom - you have to put this into book form. It would make a wonderful little books - the square ones which focus on simple but profound topics like: 1001 simple pleasures. One for men and one for women - would be excellent. Then we can all have them on our coffee tables, or sneak them into stockings come next Christmas.
Brilliant.
Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments and kind words!
Paladin, Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Ann, Thank you. I really hope many couples will benefit.
Enamfs, You are very kind, thank you.
Sean, Thanks for commenting! I actually do have a list in another hub for the guys on how to treat their ladies, if you'd like to read it.
Dear Rapid, What a great idea! I will have to keep this in mind. Thanks for the encouragement and for stopping by.
This brought up so many buried feelings.I once was just like you.
Morals: I wish you all the best in life and beyond.
Thank you blessedmommy!
Even though I can´t complain about my other half, I´ll show her this hub anyway! # whistling # lol
That's great, Funride! Print off my other one for yourself and exchange them for Valentine's Day! Or you could also tell her that this will be your marriage's New Year's resolutions for each other and these are resolutions that you plan to keep! All to best to you and your honey!
You are a special person...your husband is truly blessed. I waited to read the hosts of responses before adding mine. The world will surely be a better place when the family unit is maintained as ordained by God. Pls keep it up...you have a message .
Thanks, Soyelude, for your kind words and comments. What you said is very true - if people would just follow God's plan for the marriage relationship (both partners must do this), then divorce would be extinct.
BlessedMommy -
Wonderful 'honeydo' List!
For Valentines Day, I have decided to take this list, as well as the one on the HubPages made up for wives... I will print and frame these separately, for my husband and I. I have three daughters who are also married, so I will do the same for them as well.
And perhaps at the top, put a scripture from the teachings of Paul on it.
It has been said, that the greatest gift that parents can give to their children - is for their children to KNOW that they love one another.
And in particular, there is something very powerful when the children SEE the love a father has, for their mother.
Love it!
tDMg
(I raised five children myself and also always felt like a blessedmommy)
Dear LdsNana,
Thanks for leaving such a lovely comment! I hope that you, your husband and your grown children always find the list a positive influence in your marriages. I love the idea of adding Scripture! Thanks for stopping by!
Great hub! Love expressed in little and big ways make a whole lot of difference in any relationship. :-)
Great job blessedmommmy.You really have a great heart and mind to write this. Am not married but i think i will have such a romantic and loving marriage because i gonna afollow your steps thank you very much.
STAY BLESSED
Ripplemaker: What you said is very true. Thanks for the comment!
Angel Luv: Thank you for the kind words that you expressed through your comment. I wish you all the best when you find the love of your life.
I really needed these tips...^^..thanks blessedmom..^^
wow thank you for the tips.
hi blessed mommy! funny some of life's great solutions to big problems are simple and usually free! great work!
great detail for our reflection...
wow! that is sooo great info...
these are alot of "litte things" that motivates a husband to be a better husband!
Well done!
The Best Hub!!! #1 It's allot to swallow, but it will sure taste good if we do:.)
Very good. It remaind us that we do not need to wait for Valentine's day or an special occasion to say I love you, but we can say it everyday in different ways. Great hub. Thanks for the tips
If all couples would pick even one a day to do, there would be more harmony in marriages. Sometimes smallest gestures are the ones that mean the most. Great hub.
Thanks, yojspew and you're welcome!
You're welcome, lisabare!
You are right, Chymes! Usually free but the benefits are priceless!
Thanks, rehesa!
Yes, bernardhoa! Thanks for commenting from a man's point of view!
You are very kind, singingmommy!
You're right, Princessa! No need to wait for a holiday to show our love!
Thanks, Tateful Tidbit for the "tidbit" of wisdom!
Thank you so much these tips.They rekindle my womanhood!
Good hub....My boyfriend and I text each other everyday and when we are apart for a few days, we make sure that we text each other that we miss each other and love each other...I also like the one about not going to bed mad, I think that is important. We also make a point of giving each other a kiss goodbye in the morning as well as saying I love you.
I loved this list. Who cares if some think it's 'unpopular.' Women who truly honor their husbands will delight in doing these things. Awesome job!
wow, any such tips for men?!
being a guy, i can agree that alot of these DO work
This is an excellent list. Some of your tips had me laughing. Great hub!
Wow! You did a good job. Great hub.
I know from experience about #9. Oops. Great list!
Always put God first before everything...
g8 nice
"HELP HIM SHAVE" this is funny :)
PS: Great hubpage
This is an excellent hub. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.:)
you already have so many comments. i hope another one wont bore u. most of them are logic and so simple...... but one tends to take them for granted and/or ignore them. excellent job.
Hazok, I love to receive comments and I read each and every one. I realize that I don't always respond each and every time someone leaves a comment but I certainly do appreciate them.
Thanks for the sharing. I'm sure that the list works for my wife, I mean things that I can do for my wife. :)
A lot of this reminds me of that old newly circulating article from the 1940's on how to be a good wife.
MAKE YOUR HOME HIS REFUGE
lol :}
I love the list, my husband loves the rub your fingers through his hair and wouldn't like me to help him shave, he's not a damn hippie but a "well groomed mountain man" complete with long hair and a long beard.
Terrific ideas! I wrote a simliar Hub a couple of days ago called "How To Write A Love Letter To Your Husband" http://hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Write-A-Love-Letter
Great Advise for how husbands can love their wives too. Great Job!
Great advice. Many thanks for this hub. I'll try one of these ideas out soon with hubby.
WoW, that's so much!
But, I am sure you could find one per each day in a year, which would mean 365? Well, is that too much?
Never too much for a real LOVE, I guess
Amen and thankyou, your blog about being a Godly wife is a blessing and one that I will return to. If we can manage to make our husbands feel valued and special, using even just one of your tips a week, imagine how our divorce rates would dwindle!
God Bless You,
Patty
Wow. Didn't think I would read to the end of the list but I did. Been married only 4 months and am already falling into 'old wife' mode. This is very helpful!
Expressionless! Thanks for reading! It's easy for all of us to wives to fall into that "mode" but we must quickly climb out! Thankfully, you seen it early on. Keep loving your hubby using the tried and proven tips above and you'll have a life-long honeymoon spirit! Mind you, I'm not saying that all will always be perfect, but you're relationship can thrive through the ups and downs and grow stronger through them all. You'll soon see what I mean! ;) All the best to you and your hubby!
I didn't overlook the other comments, I appreciate them as well :) Your input makes this hub so much nicer!!!
Gee I shoud do one of these a day. I liked this one, RUN YOUR FINGERS THROUGH HIS HAIR Or massage his temples if he doesn't have any. Do this while he relaxes. Remember, your touch is important to him.
just one more that you can add on. It also increases the relationship if you allow him to get away for a weekend. Encourage him, perhaps once a month, to take his buds out for a relaxing weekend at the lake. sometimes he just needs to get away, encourage it!
Thanks Blissnow for stopping by, glad you liked it!
LiveandLetLive: Thanks so much for the input!
Great list! I recently read the 5 Love Languages, and my boyfriend and I were able to put back together a relationship we thought was over, and now are going to get married :) I am going to keep these and save them, as they are the exact types of things we have talked about that I know will keep our love growing and strong.
Wow Blessedmommy, great hub and from all the responses, it's clear God is really moving through this! PTL! Like Melissa Lynn, my husband and I recently grew together again through materials from the 5 love languages as well as materials from Jeff and Shanti Feldhahn. I agree you should publish your own book! "Love in His Suds," "Worlds Greatest Husband Lives Here" sign, Wrestling Matches and Pillow Fights are all new tips I will have to put into practice. The massages and foot rubs definitely speak love to him (as does any form of sex!). By the way my mom is in her 60's now and I know one of the reasons she'd resisted Christianity and the Bible was because of the misconception that sex is only for procreation....I think w/ what you have here, it very clearly indicates that not to be the case! Bravo for dispelling that myth as well as providing so many practical tips for how to love our husbands which = a happy marriage!
Melissa Lynn: Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! May God smile on the two of you and give you a wonderful life!
Christinkv: Thanks so much for the wonderful comment! It is truly my prayer that God uses this article for His glory and to help marriages to be blessed and successful!
This is really such a great blog especially for newly weds... start doin it, it works for a better relationship.... I definitely love to forward this blog with my friends.... now I know why you have your name here as blessedmommy...
If my wife did half or even 3 things on that list, id be more happoer than bein a millionaire
very lovely tips for lasting relationship..
Thanks, Sri Krsna! I'm so glad you liked it and thanks for sharing it too!
Shaddy: Make sure that you're doing you're part as a husband - wives enjoy these tips too. If you're doing all you can, then leave your marriage in God's hands and ask for His help.
Thank you very much, Mcarolyn!
Thanks for this! Marriage is definitely hard and it's easy to lose track of what you need to do to keep working on your relationship. Keep it up!
My husband is a work-a-holic and I'm a perfectionist. What a combination, I'll have to work on some of those pointers. But, I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. Just a note, a little aromatherapy during those romantic interludes works wonders too. :-D
Excellent.
Byee: A good marriage is truly worth all the effort that we can put into it!
Thanks, Evespalace for your comment and input!
Incredibe incredible hub. I just became an instant fan of yours!
Annette! You are very kind. Thank you!
Great............... How could you be that resourceful with such an inspiring idea. Two thumbs up. I hope I could apply them in my real life. Thanks
Very inspiring. Keep up the good work.
This was a very inspiring idea I will apply a few to my life style. Thank you!!!!
Keep up the good work
i just married....your tips are very inspiring......i guess its a big help for a newly wed to know about all this ways....im sure know that i will be a good wife to my husband and pray that we will be together forever.
Thanks for the great ideas and the encouragement that I'm doing a lot of things right already! My hubby and I were married just this may and I defintiely want to do my part to make our marriage strong!
This is adorable! I'm going to try these. :)
Great work I'm defenitely trying some of your techniques.
Hi blessedmommy. I am not married yet, but will definitely be using your tips when God blesses me with that special someone. I'm currently reading The Power of a Praying Wife. It's an awesome book! I want to prepare myself as much as possible for that special someone. I think we prepare for so many other things in life, but people rarely think to prepare and equip themselves with knowledge when it comes to marriage. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and experience with us. I, for one, am very appreciative.
I've heard of the Five Love Languages. I'll have to read that as well.
I love it,wow this is just amazing, I'm not married yet but I'll keep these tips in my mind,thanks for this amazing job.
My husband is in the Army and is home for short periods. I want to make him feel all the "extra" love and warmth that he isn't able to "feel or see" while he is away so I have decided to make a list to print out that is FULL of great ideas to do one or many of them a day for my beloved. I have found this web-site to be very helpful. I do do one thing that my husband loves and actually gets sad if I haven't done it in a few days that I didn't see on this web-site. I cut a piece of plain white paper into a buissness card size and write COUPON, good for one free ______. Then I take clear tape and tape the front and back to make it hold up in his wallet for as long as he needs. He gets to stick them in his wallet and use them whenever he wants. I leave them eveywhere, ex: taped on his shampoo, in his work pants pocket, in his book where his book-marker is, exc.... He loves it and shows all of his friends and when he finds one it is sooo cute because he comes running to find me to tell me he found another one and I ALWAYS get a great BIG kiss. Totaly worth the whole 10 minutes out of my day to see him sooo excited from something "I" did for him. You really feel the love with the true, genuine, happy smile you both share looking at each other for that brife moment.
Lovely comments! Thanks so much!
some of these are extreme, I looked at 101 for husband and wife. I am looking for a way to please, so he will start pleasing me, some day!! Nothing like giving your all and never getting in return....
nbice66103@yahoo.com
praying and worshiping together make my husband and I the happiest couple in the world.
I loved the ways you offer so keep the good work
Ruba
nice collection. I stumbled it. When we remember to do these little things life is that bit sweeter.
hey its really a great list. I m going to marry 1st week of Dec. I am sure that these advice will help me.
its nice...we should apply all these in our personal life
Thanks a lot for this list blessedmommy... it is very helpful. i'll get married with my fiance on may 2009. i am preparing myself to be a good wife and a mother for our future children. so, thanks again and God bless you and your family.
Wow, excellant list and oh, so true. I wish I had found this list a long time ago AND taken it seriously. Especially #23. I failed MISERABLY at that one. I was so scared he wouldn't take that honor and responsibility and use it wisely, that I took it away from him. God's design for marriage is that the husband be the leader of the household and I can see now that that was my main contribution to the demise of our marriage. Here I am, almost 10 months after he left, praying for him like I should have been doing all the years we were married, praying that God will bring him home. I miss him so much.
Please ladies, take this seriously. I agree completely with the previous poster that this is a very important aspect of a healthy marriage. Marriage is an institution of God and God tells us clearly the roles of the man and woman in marriage. Let them be the captain. Many of the others I failed at as well, but had I taken just that ONE seriously, the others would have fallen into place.
MissingHim: I am getting so many comments on this article that I don't respond to my readers as much, but when I saw your post I was touched. My heart hurts for you and I will pray for the reconciliation of your marriage.
wow thank you for the tips.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful ways with us! I am a married woman, 55 years old and I don't think we EVER get too old to LEARN. I've been putting into practice some of these ways to show my husband. I even wrote him a love letter tonight. He "cheated" on me back in July - September and God brought us back together. I love him NOW more than ever.... sometimes we must see what we losing to SEE it at all. AGAIN, thank you for the MOST inspiring words of wisdom that a wife can read. I'm sure my husband would thank you as well.
I wish I would have seen these months ago, my husband cheated on me and I thought my life was over ,with self evaluation I will use these words I hope we can get the spark back...
great
Enjoy passionate sex with him often. If you want to show love for your husband, become his erotic lover. But your suggestions for kissing and "little peeks" make me think that you are trying to imply this anyway. Men often feel deeply loved when they have a truly sexual and erotic relationship with their wife.
What if I've tried almost half of these things and he still keeps saying it's over and he's done???
It is now five days until our 2 year anniversary and all he will say now is "i can't do this anymore and we aren't going to make it to the two year mark."
????
Emily,
You and your husband need professional counseling and the sooner the better. Check with local churches in your area or the yellow pages in your phone book. Pray that God will lead you to the right person to counsel with. Try to get your husband to go with you, but if he won't join you, go anyway. Fight for your marriage...IT IS WORTH IT.
Praying for you,
blessedmommy
Those are all excellent suggestions and they do work! Thank you for sharing them!
Hello,
I Need a pice of advice.
We are having problem in our marriage. I loved my wife dearly. After we got married within a few months I realized that it was not what I was dreamed it to be. I did not feel like I was that important for my wife. Initially I thout may be it would get better becouse this was our first marriage for both of us. My wife is normally a person of great moral values and a very mart person. We both have PhDs. However I noticed that she would admire other handsome man. This is tatally abnormal to me. if by some odd means it is normal, why she started tell me also that how handsome a guy we met somewhere was. To give you a sense. One day we went to show organized by the company I worked for. There were a lot of people I knew and we talked to a few of them. After the show we walked home. It was a very nice summer night and we did not take the car so that we would enjoy the walk back home. All the way home she went on an on how handsome and beatiful one of the guy was. I was very shocked and upset obout it but did not really know how to react-we were only married for 6 months. I did not say anything ant tried to end the conversation by adding yeah he is a nice guy. I hid my felings so well probably that this kind of stuff happened at least for 5-8 different guys afterwords. In one case it was about a friend of mine who I knew for a very long time but my wife met recently at the time. She repeatedly told me how handsome he was and how his girlfriend was not good enough for him. She was basically jealous, otherwise why would one care who is paring with who. we were not that close friends. Basically whenever she sow someone hansome this would repeat. God forbid if we invite someone over and the guest happens to be one of the guys she thinks as handsome. She would turn into this perfect wife and clean and coook variety of foods. (I have to say though, she is morally very strong person and I can safely say that she would not do any kind of phsical cheeting- I hope I am write.) This went about two years that I did not reacted at all. One day we went to bed and she started for a different guy. That was the last drip for me and I went off and told her that what she was doing was not normal and we ended having a big fight. Of course she kept telling me how thoughtless she was being. Although I did not say anything during that two year, period her commends about other guys really bothered me and I felt like tied up or lost selfesteme or something or got mad whatever the reason is I distaned myself from her for which sometims she would complain. Our marriage is basically almost very dull and no romance since then. This is because of me since I still can not get over it. It bothers me that why she would marry me if she thought I was not handsome. I am fine how I look but what your wife thinks of you is important I guess. It has been 10 years we are merried and have kids. Beside these she does not clean, she never puts any afford to create a worm home. She thinks that she does not have to to clean or cook. She yels all the time and does not think that these are her kids. She loves them very much but does not take the mother role. We both work so I dont expect or to take responsibility of everything but the lack of any afford to do anything somehow tells me that she basically feels like she is trapped in this marrige. I see woman who take care of their husband. I would not want that but would not be a woman at least a little bit considerate for her husband? We live like collage roommates, nobody has resposibility for each other. She would not care if I have no clothes to wear the next day, or may be I am sick that I may not prepare food. Even if she decides to clean one day she would not move a glass from the table if she knows that I left it there. I do most of the cleaning. So the relationship being this way, I dont buy her flowers, I dont tell her I love her, etc. She makes attempts now to fix our relationship but I am the one who is keeping the distance. With all the signs that indicate her lack of love and affection for me I feel like I have to pretent to respond her. I just cant do that although I tried.What I dont understand is that although we had numerous talks about this and she still tels me she does not understand why I behave this way.
I thought, since you are women, you could help me to understand if she cares about me. if I ask her she will say yes. Dont want to go to therapy-she did not ask anyway-, and dont want to get a divorce because of kids. By the way we have no finncial problem. We have very good jobs and doing really good financially-- if you think that would be a factor. Mine is just a curiousity becouse I feel like I dont want our relationship to get better becouse I am mad at her. This is may be partly due to the fact that although I let her now my concerns she did nothing to reassure me that she cared about me. Well she said it verbally.
wishing you best
Someguy: I will say here and now that I am NOT a professional marriage counselor and I do not intend to replace therapy. Even though you are not wanting to see a counselor, by everything you've told me it would be a very wise choice. It seems to me that you and your wife have communication issues and have never communicated well. You never should have hid your feelings from her in the beginning...this caused your wife to believe that her behavior was acceptable to you. And with you keeping your distance from her she probably feels unloved by you and it sounds like that she is not communicating this to you very well either.
It is my guess that you both love each other but are trapped by this wall of lack of communication. You need to learn how to work through these issues that have been building your entire marriage but if you attempt this alone it may lead to arguing and higher walls between you. Please consider seeing a therapist who can walk you through the steps that you're needing to take to resolve these issues. You are not saying that you have failed in your marriage by doing this but rather that your marriage is important and worth fighting for.
Also your wife may be going through depression. Many times when she neglects things in her life such as her home and family it is because of unresolved feelings. This neglect is one of the first tell-tale signs. If this is true a therapist may be able to recognize it and then your wife can see a doctor and get medication to help her get back on track as you're working through this. Many smart and intelligent people have used medication temporarily to help them get back their focus.
Best Regards,
blessedmommy
Great list. Just what a happy married couple need. I am married for 14 years and I really do practice most of these advices. I am very happy in my marrige. Keeping and saving marrige is hard, but it is worth all the hard works.
blessed mommy very good list my husband and I are high school sweet hearts we've been togethor for eight years now, and out of the eight we've been married on paper two. I am 23 years of age and he is 25 we have two beautiful children one boy one girl whom we love very much. I'm glad I found this article because I was beginning to think that my smart remarks and relentless arguments were gonna cause my husband and I to end. We've been through alot, yet I see know from your list that I've been selfish. I love my man with every ounce of my being, which is why I will do all of this list for as long as he allows me to . Oh and to some guy, I'm sorry that your marriage took that plunge, but from what you wrote your wife was telling you something in the beginning, you just didn't speak up. When you let her down by not expressing your thoughts she saw you in a different light, maybe it's not to late to step up and be that man that she desires, open your mouth let your heart speak to your wife. Your children need it you need it, and she may also need this. Talk to the woman you married and honestly try and find the reason why you and her decided to become one. If it doesn't work out that love is there anymore, then be friends for the sake of the children. I wish you luck, and true happiness.
awesome list. shows me how i have been very selfish that wiill be changing

good day... your suggestion will truly be a great help. Right now am seeking for solutions to keep my husband, i was so lucky and thankful that i browsed into it. Your God given to us wives who really wanted to be REAL WIFE this time. Now Iam not thinking/entertaining negative thoughts about my husband but looking forward for the results of these 101 ways. More power and God Bless!
Hello Blessed Mommy,
Thanks for this inspiration. It got me thinking and I wrote about the 101 Ways to Tell Your Kids 'I Love You'. (http://www.home-is-fun.com/index.php?post/2009/02/101-Ways-to-Love-Your-Kids) these 101 ideas sound so easy, but it really is work to get them down. After a rush of inspiration I thought I was close to the end and realized I had "only" reached 67! Well, there are 101 ways now, and thanks to your inspiration.
I have also worked on decluttering our bedroom. Yes, it should be a play room...!
May your love with your hubby keep growing.
Thank you for all those good point for all wife.
But , i have face this 2 times already ie whenever my husband get very angry to me,(not my mistake ) i always have to say sorry to him . He surpose to say sorry , hug & kiss me. He will not admit his mistake ...... All man has big ego how to deal with it.
I'm sorry, but I can't agree with everything on this list.
I believe a marriage should be more of a partnership, but how can it be if he's the head of the house, and you have to make everything special and stress free for him?
I'm not saying argue all the time, but women have stresses as much as men and if you can't communicate them - what kind of marriage is that?
Some of these are a plus, but some are naivity of women pretending their marriage is an honest and happy one.
I'm not married yet, but the woman I have is grade A. I go to work, and sometimes she makes me a really good lunch. I'm always so pleased when she happens to show up and we eat together or she slips a piece of pie into the lunch.
When I get home from work, she's pretty tired from all she's done, as am I.
I usually come home, we eat dinner that she's made, I rub on her back some nights ( she suffers from chronic pain) and then we cuddle and talk about the day. Sometimes, we watch a flick or go out.
We talk every disagreement out. We spend our weekends together. Saturday, we do whatever we want. Sunday, we go to church together.
The whole point is: Not everyone has to be a Stepford Wife to make her man happy. Mine does just fine for me.
opinionatednewageman:
You obviously missed the point. Marriage IS a partnership and couples should not just try to please each other but to LOVE each other. When you truly love someone it is not a chore to please them.
I'm not a perfect wife and my husband is not perfect. But we are in love. I was never implying that couples HAD to be perfect.
I was also wondering where I ever said not to communicate about stresses? I didn't. I made several references to good communication in the above tips. Communication is one of the top keys to a successful marriage.
You also talked about the ways that your wife (on yeah, you're not married) does things to please you and how it makes you happy. Wasn't this MY point?
its amazing how the simplest things can make a marrage great... thank you so much
HEY IM LIZZZ. IM ONLY %99 OF DESE THINGS. IT DOES MAKE U REELY HAPPY!
love your list thanks
I am planning my wedding and started a hub for it. I've asked people to vote on what they like best and I add a new element each week. judging by your hub I think you could help me a lot. right now it is bridesmaids dresses and is soon to be changed to bouquets. I would greatly appreciate it if you could stop by and take a look as well as vote on the dress and my page.
lots of love--nina
Some of the suggestions are good but I don't agree with (80) DON'T DEPRIVE HIM Husbands need sex probably more than wives need hugs and compliments. This is one of the main ways he feels loved. Naturally, there will be sometimes you don't feel like it. But even then, if you just give in, you will before it's over." Sorry but having sex with him when you're not even in the mood, just because you know he wants it, is wrong. IMP you should only have sex when you BOTH want it - makes it more special and meaningful.
This is a great list and how i want to treat my husband. I know it will be extremely hard...it is hard now to have just a boyfriend. It will take lots of work
pyxi: My point...don't "DEPRIVE" him. It's okay to say no occasionally but don't let it become a habit or it will become a wedge in your marriage. Many wives have failed to meet their husbands needs in this way and too many times it has led to unhappiness or even unfaithfulness.
ratcliffe: I'm glad you like my list.
If you are "truly in love" with the man you marry these things may come easier than what you first thought. Thanks for stopping by.
Wonderful! I can tell a lot of work has been put into this. Some of my favorites are 27, 42, 59, 61, 72, 80 and 92. But 98 would be the best.
You're right, strong and consistent sex with his wife makes a man feel loved.
Excellent! Glad to find another Christian hubber. God bless. Hope you could take time to visit my hubs too. Thnak you very much.
#72 would help out alot of marriages. I hope my wife finds this page!!!!!!

Quite a long list there, and certainly a long list of comments too.

I tried most of the ideas that you have jotted down here and honestly it works...I can see a spark in his eyes that was missing after marriage. The ideas are truly wonderful. Most of the ideas have brought us closer despite of the fact that we are busy working 5 days a week. Thanks for putting these amazing ideas, i'm sure most of the women like me will be benefited from this and set an example for others.
Brenda: Yeah, it's a pretty long list but even taking one or two as you mentioned seems to work wonders! It's good to hear that you feel that your husband deserves the best. That statement alone shows your love for him. Thanks for the comment!
BIN: Glad to hear that the ideas are working in your marriage. It's just an idea until it's put into action! Thanks for sharing your successes!
thank so much your list was very helpful
I am yet to be married, but I have made a promise to myself that I will have only one man and one blissful marrriage all my life. I thank God for leading me to this page. It is very helpfull and educative. The role of God in a marriage can never be underestimated. One important thing is for every lady to make sure their partner is a god fearing man. If not, you may try all you can, but the marriage still may not work. The fear of God in a spouse is a very important factor in making a marriage work. In addition, ensure you study the word of God. Thanks again for these tips. I will print them out and read each day. I know my marriage is going to be blissfull. I believe that it is going to be a model union. I know that God will reign in my home and in my kids lives.
wow..what a beautiful list...im so glad i found it..im gonna print it and keep a copy with me at all times! i've been married 3 yrs now, and have followed quite a bit of these simple rules...but really..if any woman follows it..she can live a blessed married life forever. Thanks!
thanks for the tips...
Hi, thank you so much for this list. I think I'm much too hard on my husband most of the time, and I'm only just starting to realise it, he says he loves me every day, he can never do enough for me, always kisssess and hugs me, but I'm the one pulling away, like I don't have time, but i think it would make me feel better too, If I stopped and thought and tried some of these, we have been married 3years in september and i'm going to make this year the best of marrige ever by following some of these very true points!!!
very well done.........
great list, but unfortunately, one of the most important things got left out. how about "eat healthy and stay fit so he can be just as attracted to you now as he was on the day you got married."
its a fantastic guide u have put up to help women to make their marriage a wonderful and an everlasting experience....
its so love to read,, thanks to advise us....
its fantastic wordings
my husband and i have been married for ten years and i feel we still have alot to learn.I know that the only way we can truely be happy is to start to go to church agin and put God first in our lives.my husband and i belong together and i know God has a plan for us i pray that when we finaly take the step to live for God its not to late.
In a few days, my husband and I would be married eight years. I have been working on cultivating our relationship. This is great information for me and to share. He is indeed the best husband there is. Right now we are miles away. I am working in the Caribbean and he is in Georgia he has been caring for our children all by himself for the past few months and doing a super job I may add. We ofen take our spouses for granted. We are more in love today than ever and I am looking forward to seeing him this weekend. Keep it up ladies our men is worth it that is why we married them. Our reward should come from just being that best friend.
thanks blessedmom... there is some real wisdom in this hub... it really is the little things done consistently over time that keep things alive and interesting... I love your tips... very creative
