What does your SO do to make you feel honoured and cherished?

Question inspired by a comment on another thread. Those of us who are married have promised to love, honour and cherish our partners but apart from love we don’t perhaps think of it very often.

What does your SO do to make you feel honoured and cherished?

Do you do anything that makes your partner feel honoured and cherished?

Today DH went out and bought supplies to make icecream sundaes just because he knew I was feeling sad. He’s pretty good at this cherishing business when I think about it.

Despite dj'ing to the wee hours of the morning, so absolutely knackered and not feeling well to boot, he's got up and traipse around the Ideal Home Show with me today.

I suppose I feel honoured and cherished because I know we are a team; everything is split 50/50, cooking, cleaning (he probably does the majority, honestly!) which is amazing after years in a previous relationship where I did everything.

also doing things like getting himself up at 6am on a Sunday to come hold my bags at the car boot with me because I love going! Takes an interest in my interests, and doesn’t make me feel silly for believing in the things I do.

Aw, that’s commitment @TheRealKatnissEverdeen !

That sounds lovely @itsmellslikepopcarn, feeling part of a team, pulling together with DH really goes a long way to raise my self esteem.

Cleans the bathrooms
Lifts heavy weights
Gets things from high shelves
Does every DIY job that requires strength and brute force

He makes me an earl grey tea with milk every night once the kids are down in bed.

He notices when I need a new computer/sneakers/yoga mat etc. and then researches for weeks like a crazy man to find me the best one. After purchasing it for me, he spends weeks explaining why he chose that particular model, and why it’s better than all other models.

He introduces me to new music, films, and YouTube channels and makes an effort to discover new things I’ll like.

i’m 6 months pregnant and he’s done nothing 🤷🏾‍♀️ lucky me!

Oh, I’m sorry @septembersapphire7. Has it beena smooth pregnancy or not so much? What would help you feel cherished?

Cleaning the bathroom would be a big deal to me @AllInADay

Yours sounds very sweet @Teachingteacher, it’s one where the effort is really visible 😊

I think mine really appreciates that I take on all the random hassle of dress up days at school- world book day costumes etc. He just wouldn’t do it if on his own I think, and the DC are fairly ambivalent too, but he is always so pleased the DC are able to join in that I do it for them even though I find it a slog!
