Hi, can anyone suggest any romantic gestures I can do for my husband? I admit I need to put more effort into my marriage. I have very little time with him due to our lives/children plus we don’t have any spare money so I need to come up with some romantic ideas so he knows how I feel etc. any help is very much appreciated. Thank you in advance

If you’ve got to the stage of being married and still don’t really know what he’d find romantic or appreciate as a demonstration of your love for him, it sounds like there are some communication issues at play. Do you ever talk about the difficulties in your relationship, or acknowledge to each other that you could each do more? Sometimes the best thing to hear from a partner is simply having them acknowledge that they know they don’t always show their feelings very well, but that they love you and would like to actively make more time for each other. Date nights don’t have to be expensive or involve big trips out, they can just be quality time together at home or a couple of drinks at your local.

Thank you for your reply. We talk a lot about our marriage and the issues in it. Our lives are so busy and hectic with 5 children at home so it is really difficult to have time alone together. I have spoken about how I feel and how much I miss him but I know I need to show him, actions speak louder than words. My husband is under extreme amount of stress so I just want him to know I am here to support and love him.
