13 Free Ways to Show Your Man You Care

Engagement Picture 2006

One of our classes here is a marriage one and it got me thinking about free ways I can show my husband I care.

1. Laugh at his jokes…even the lame ones.
2. Make him one of his favorite meals or snacks.
3. Get all dolled up for him.
4. Do one of his favorite activities with him (for us this could be going on a run or hike together).
5. Write him a note and leave it somewhere, like as a bookmark in something he’s currently reading.
6. Do one of those things he’s talked about you doing or learning to do, but haven’t done yet (for us this could be me improving my sewing, so I can sew up holes in his clothes better).
7. Thank him for a specific thing he’s done recently that helped you a lot.
8. Don’t complain about him to other people, but instead make a point of saying positive things about him.
9. Pray for him.
10. Do one of the chores that he usually takes care of (for us this could be packing up the laptop for class in the mornings).
11. Keep the house tidy.
12. Listen to him when he talks.…even if it’s about something you think is boring like a science fiction book or how to overhaul an engine.
13. When he gets home (or when he wakes up in the morning) greet him with a smile and kiss.…not an eye roll and complaint about your child’s bad behavior that day.
