10 Simple Things You Can Do to Brighten Your Spouse’s Day

1. Tell him how glad you are that you married him! I am guilty of not doing this often enough, but when I started to do this.. It changed his moods in the morning 🙂

2. A simple thing you could do (and I actually just did!) to brighten his day is give him a call, unexpectedly, just to tell him you love him & wish him a great day 🙂

3. Smile at him and say, “I appreciate you!”. I know I look grumpy most of the time with stress, pain and worries. I don’t smile enough. So when I do, it makes a difference!!

4. Bring him coffee in the morning! Nothing like getting up, dressed and having to hurry out the door! Why not have his coffee ready! Guaranteed he will be smiling from ear to ear.

5. Pack his lunch and add a little love note inside. I do this often, I pack his lunch the night before and sneak a little love note in it, with quick phrases like “I love you, Have a great day”, and “I'm thinking of you”!

6. Make his favorite dish for dinner once a week. It's true what they say… A way to a man's heart is through his stomach! When was the last time you cooked his favorite meal?

7. Send him a daily email while he is at work, with thoughts and moments from your day and letting him know you love him and you are proud of him.

8. Tell him that you appreciate him and everything he does for the family. Sometimes I get in the habit of complaining about what he’s not doing, and I forget that telling him what he is doing right is 10 times more important!

9. Grab a kiss while you wait at the drive-thru or a stop light. When your stopped in the car, lean over and plant one on him! He will not be expecting it and who knows where that can lead to!

10. Encourage his hobbies, even if you’re perhaps not fond of some. I don't like fishing, it's smelly, boring, and not my cup of tea. However, I try to go with him once a month because I love him and want to encourage him, even help make it happen!
