What nice things do you do for your husband?

[GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat]

I'm a bit crap and I realise I need to up my game. DH is very good at gifts and doing nice things for me for special occasions and 'just because'. I'm not so good at this and really struggle to think of anything. Most things he would want he just buys himself anyway.

What sort of nice things do you do for your husband to show him you care and you think of him?

I point my stew away from him when I fart in bed 🤷🏻‍♀️

I carried and birthed his son.

I'm stealing this.

I do all the cooking and I try really really hard to make it really delicious and healthy.

I make sure there is beer and coca cola in his beer fridge and rum in his cupboard.

When we did our pre marriage course they explained to us about the love languages. Basically they are gifts, kind words, acts of service, physical affection and spending quality time together.
They said you need to figure out which is your partner's love language and do that because we tend to give in our own and sometimes get frustrated that our partner doesn't give us in the language we want

This is such a lovely thread 😊

Cup of tea unprompted,

Yes Love Languages was a revelation for us! He now realises that doing little jobs (Acts of Service) is interpreted as love by me, so if he hoovers or makes me tea without being asked he gets big brownie points. He also now realised why nice little texts (and him not ignoring my texts ) are important to me, as “words of affirmation” was high on my list.

For him, physical touch was a top one, which I kinda knew already

my dp works full time and for context we have been together 9 years

I do these things for him I prepare all lunch meals for his work daily this includes steaks home made Thai food lasagne anything I make it all fresh for him for work

I clean the house have dinner ready for when he’s home
I do all the cooking I do most of the washing
give him physical affection

i buy him his favourite PlayStation games when they come out

if im passing his work place when im out i will stop in his work with a drink for him as a surprise
