Showing your husband you love him, instead of just saying it, proves your feelings and gives action to your words. Try these seven ideas to make sure your husband knows how much you love him.

1. Let a Massage Be Your Message

Whether he works out like it's his job or you just want to pamper him, a massage can be one of the most loving and soothing ways to show you care. It provides physical touch, and can even be a welcomed form of physical affection when that's all you can give at the moment. It's also a selfless act, which communicates without words that you love doing things for him without a quid pro quo. An extra bonus, massage can easily become sensual, and whether over time or right away, can open doors for more intimate connections with him.

2. Surprise Dinner for Two

A hot meal warms your bones as well as lifts your mood when it's a surprise and a favorite! This speaks higher volumes than taking him to his favorite restaurant, because of the effort you put into cooking it yourself. Everyone has their favorite meal, including your husband. So find out the best way to make it for him, and do it on a night he'll be home - without letting on that you're prepping it. For my husband, the request is always handmade pasta, whether it's linguini or farafelle, it hits the spot. I love to pair it with a quick, fresh sauce and shrimp. Your husband will feel your love through good food and a full stomach.

3. Make Your Words Sweet

Nothing boosts confidence like an unexpected compliment. Let your husband know that he looks awesome in his jeans, or that he did a great job fixing something without having to call anyone. Letting him know that you see his accomplishments means a lot to him. Make sure to make the compliments very specific and sincere.

4. Gifts of All Sorts

In my marriage, we're not really big on gift ­giving, as materialism can take over and the meaning can get lost. However, when I'm out by myself, I'll pick up something small for my husband to let him know I was thinking of him. Go off of your husband's interests and branch off from there. My husband is a chef and a foodie, so a good gift for him can be as simple as a can of his favorite energy drink or coffee, a new cooking spice, or gourmet crackers. Not all gifts have to be extravagant and expensive. ­­Something small will let him know he was on your mind while you were apart.

5. Rise Early or Prep Prior

Try getting up early to prepare breakfast (or do it the night before) and to help your husband in the morning. Preloading the coffee maker with a spoon and sweetener right next to it saves a task, and time in the already rushed morning. Granola and bowls can be set out, or you could put a quick breakfast strata in the fridge the night before. Waking up to something hot and filling, and not feeling rushed, is incredibly comforting for your husband.

6. Surprise Salty or Sweet

Depending on what your husband prefers, bake him something that he loves, just because. My husband will take anything salty over cake or cookies, so I like to bake him homemade German Pretzels. Your husband may prefer other baked goods, especially when they are made just for him. Food is a quick way to your man's heart. 

7. Helping Hands

Life's projects and tasks can get so overwhelming for your husband, and any amount of help is appreciated. A sincere "How can I help?" will be appreciated beyond a doubt. Better yet, anticipate his needs and try to do steps in his project before he asks for help. For example, while re-doing our home, I anticipated his need to remove finishing nails on all the old boards for better storage, so I quietly used the nail remover and took them out, along with stacking the boards neatly. Needless to say, my husband was pretty impressed. It meant a lot that he saw I was looking ahead and anticipating needs.

These are seven simple ways you can show your husband you love him this week. The little things are often the best way to nurture your marriage. You have the ability to make small changes that can yield monumental results in your relationship. Plant seeds of love and hope, water them, and watch them grow. A plant well tended will bear beautiful fruit.

EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE HERPES AND INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Contact Doctor Odunga at [email protected] OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012

I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Doctor Odunga and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at [email protected] and later he gave me his Whats-App number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Doctor Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. My husband and I reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR ODUNGA. I came online to say this: If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.

Contact his email at [email protected]

OR Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others

Hello, My name is Sarah Love Tover. I live in Dover, Delaware. My boyfriend Juan Tover and I have been dating for the past 4 yrs we were to get married but it never happened..he constantly messes around with his ex's and other females every time he got caught he apologized and me to forgive him and I keep taking him back because I'm truly in love with this man but after a while he started messing around again. I had to do something about the situation. I went online and saw various testimonies of how people got their ex back but one testimony of Dr Odunga helped me find the right solution and I am very happy I contacted Dr. Odunga regarding my problem. My boyfriend is now my HUSBAND. We got married in United Church in Dover. My problem was solved.
