He works from home so sometimes I’ll make him coffee and take it to him or make his favorite meal. We have a pretty equal balance of responsibilities, but if he’s been working extra hard, I’ll take some off his plate so he can have time to relax. He does the same for me when I need it. We appreciate the little things.
I randomly send him cute texts, and remind him how handsome and loved he is. I also offer to help him with chores, and encourage him to relax and play his video games after work. We’ve been watching a spooky movie every night, and it’s like a date night, we make it special!!!

I tell him often, buy him special little things randomly and always try to get him to take it easy at home. I also keep up the house, keep myself up, make sure all the bills are paid and so on. He insists on helping with housework, but I try to never let him, unless it’s heavy lifting, repairs or outside work, which he absolutely won’t let me do. I don’t consider sex as showing appreciation. I enjoy it every day just as much as him. To me, it’s more about love than appreciation.
Every day, I write in a notebook how much I appreciate him and what he does for me and our daughter. He works security overnights, so we don’t see him a lot during the day. He reads them when he comes home, and it lets him know we think of him

Women can buy and send their men flowers too. He wasn’t a romantic type, but I’d plan a weekend away on our anniversary. One time we went to a famous inn for dinner & the weekend about an hour and a half away. He thought it was just dinner & I surprised him that we had reservations and I’d packed a bag for him. Another time we went to a beautiful area in the mountains (he likes mountains).
Also praise him in front of others—brag about him, especially to people who mean a lot to him. And yes to notes & cards, whether out in the open or hidden for him to find.
You can surprise him by arranging him to have time with an old friend/family member he hasn’t seen in ages by inviting that person for dinner or the weekend, arranging a trip for them to see each other, whether it’s at your house, the other person’s house, somewhere in between or another place entirely.
It could range from a movie or bowling or axe-throwing to a breakfast, lunch or dinner, or from a sports event or concert, to fishing/hunting/camping/boating day trip or weekend all the way to an exotic distant vacation destination or sky diving (or the iFLY experience) or motorcycle lessons together.
You are sweet to ask!
I buy him truck parts or hunting things

I rub his feet, I play his favorite games, I try to ask questions about stuff he likes, I kiss his forehead when it’s within range…. I yell really nice things at him when he’s sitting peacefully 
(that one’s just for me 
he always jumps, but then laughs).
I lay his clothes out in the bathroom so when he comes in and takes a shower they are there. I lay his work clothes out for the mornings. He always has supper when he gets in and I always make enough to send him homemade food for lunch. Every few days his lunch includes a note. I could go on and on I guess. We text every two hours or so throughout the day. I remind him how blessed I am to be a SAHM and how much he’s loved.

Fill his truck/car, detail his truck or car, get his favorite snacks. Cook what he suggests for dinner. Always make sure he has clean clothes especially for work fitting the weather. Ask him “if I could help you with 1 thing today, 1 thing thats causing you stress what would it be”? Dont stop the attitude
He gets clean clothes, clean house, and food cooked. 
I’m legit serious. We’re so busy we hardly see each other and that’s how he knows I care. I make sure he’s good to go for work and comes home to a clean house.

He loves physical touch in non sexual ways. One of my favorites is after we get the kids buckled in the car we take 30 seconds to just hold each other, back scratches, before our day begins just laying together spending extra time together. The little moments mean the most

Lol… I asked my husband this question n my daughter overheard n said I “kishy-kishy” with him. Hubby said, you make my lunch.
Same as he gives me… NOT A DAMN THING.
Always kiss good night, say I love you & sweet dreams before bed! Also, I prep his coffee every morning during the work week and leave him a lil love note! Going on 14 years strong but not married yet! 
Write him notes for his lunchbox, back rubs, flirt with him, listen to him, have his lunch and clothes ready for the next day.
I don’t know about husbands but I know that I like being shown that I’m appreciated with food , everyone is different, look for something that he really likes 
I always verbalize it. I will tell him all the time how much I appreciate his hard work to ensure we are taken care of. I make sure that he knows I see his sacrifices all the way down to the smallest task of taking the garbage out or stopping at the store on his way home to grab what I need to finish to dinner. I want him to know that I see all the little things, not just the big things that he does. On top of telling him, (words only go so far); I will pack his breakfast and lunch with a few snacks throughout the day and I’ll leave a little note in their of some type either telling him how ridiculously hot he looks when he smiles or wears his favorite shirt- sometimes they are motivational and sometimes they just say, I am so lucky to have you as my husband thank you for everything you do for us. When he gets home, I let him have about 30 minutes in the nothing box before I ask him to do anything. If he had a rough day at work, I’ll switch up my meal plan and make his favorite meal. I’ll randomly pick up things that I know he needs or has wanted, if I run across them. If it’s his turn to host game day, I’ll help prepare all the food and snacks and then when the game starts I’ll take the younger kids on a little outing so that they don’t interrupt the game and my husband doesn’t feel like he has to keep it down so they don’t disturb us. I don’t always pick where we go to eat and what movie we are going to watch. It’s important to me that we do things that he likes too so we switch it up and most importantly, I am not afraid to tell him he was right and I was wrong. Respect and appreciation go hand in and hand. I enjoy doing things for him because he always gives me the same respect and shows me he appreciates all the things I do for our home and kids, etc.

Pack his lunch for work and leave little notes also good morning texts
I cook, I clean, I’m raising our children that I gave birth to, all while working full time outside the home. He should be appreciating me! I work outside the home more hours a week than he does, and I still keep the house clean, dishes washed, laundry washed, dried, and put away, while he sits around watching TV, or sleeping. Do I see any appreciation, no. But I could see someone who does not work outside the home needing to appreciate their spouse, men and women alike. Remember, there is stay at home dads too.

I showed it by doing everything I possible could. Kids, house, cooking his favourite meals It still backfired because he thought I was too busy to care about him and he cheated. All because it wasn’t like the pre kid days where we could spend all day together.
Easy! Do something unexpected and simple. Small things tend to get noticed! Like put gas in his car, surprise him with lunch, or even a massage.

I made his lunch and dinner everyday… I wash all his clothes do all the housework, and spend lots of quality time with him at weekends. I support him and motivate him to do bigger and better things with his life. Always make sure the water is hot for him coming in… and if he ever found these things weren’t enough he can go and f**k himself. Im his best friend and his most loyal life guide. I also put great thought and details into his birthday and Christmas gifts. Ladies we do enough as it is. Give yourself a break and stop over applying yourself.

It’s food with my husband, if I cook at least a few times during the week for him to him is just showing that I care. He does not like much physical contact but I do tell him how I feel all the time.

Rub his hair/neck while he’s driving. Point out what he does every day to contribute to your lives, the little stuff he does that he may feel goes unnoticed. Just like we like. Witness him.

Cindy Betzabet Washington some ideas…
My wife and i have been having lots of problem living together, she never gives me attention or make me happy all because she has fallen in love with another man outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my wife leaves this man but the more i talk to her about it the more she makes me feel sad and unhappy, my marriage started leading to divorce because she no longer gives me attention. but seriously i adore her so much, I lost my integrity, all my project stopped, i was DOWN for 3 months both Health-wise and mentally. I tried to forget about her but i love her beyond measure and didn’t want to lose her to any man outside my home, we’ve been married for 5 good years and she’s all i could call a true best friend and best in all, she’s the only woman that handles my problems perfectly, the woman that sacrifices for my happiness. I wanted her back in my life. I was so confused. Until a Friend from college told me to book an appointment with Prophet Lago, whom she claimed she had been consulting for years for “CLARITY”. I read about him and saw his family has been in the business and he picked it right off from his father, also had lot of great amazing testimonies about this man then I decided to give him a try so i contacted him immediately, explained my predicament to him. Same day Prophet Lago did some Wonderful prayers and counseling for me and assured me that in 3 days my wife will return to me and to my greatest surprise the 2nd day my wife came knocking on my door and start pleading begging me for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to say our vows again, i proposed. And I wouldn’t stop talking about this miraculous hand work of God in my life. so for any assistance Contact him today for urgent help via email address: [email protected] or WhatsApp him: +2347060550594.

I get him cards now and then. While sitting in our recliners watching tv, taking a drive or working in the yard I will randomly tell him that I love him and thank him for all he does. He loves planes and we just recently had our 9th wedding anniversary. We went to Key West and I booked us a seaplane ride to the dry tortugas. He loved it!
I know what he is interested in and surprise him with stuff related to what he likes
It’s the little things that make the difference let him know you love him and he is doing a good job … or a boat … guys love boats

Coming from someone who can’t do a lot at home (due to untimely circumstances) I’ve felt increasingly sad about what I can’t do so I focus on just loving him. Be sweet, always say thank you, be kind and be caring, do what he wants to do, actually listen like a human being, do random cute shit like buy HIM flowers. If he loves you, and you actually show your love besides sex (like being a best friend) than he knows already but I do commend you also. Some women feel unwanted and leave instead of trying to make it work, but if you guys truly love each other, it can’t be forced, it’ll be natural and beautiful.
I do a lot of the chores. I touch him almost every second I am able (his primary love language). Is I need to go in the bedroom while he is sleeping, I always do kiss his shoulders to let him know he is safe and loved. I do my best to remain differentiated in hard conversation, the goal is always to do better. I’ve gone to every concert he’s had since weve been together.

Since I know how to do massage therapy I give him full body massages before bed. He constantly hurts from his blue collar job and a massage makes him feel better and puts him out like a light.
If I’m really tired I use the massage gun on him especially his lower back, calves, shoulders.
I work on his feet for him. He has bad callouses on his big toes and heels so after a shower I’ll help him with that mostly cause I can’t stand to see it cause it looks painful even though he says it’s not.
He’s actually very grateful for the attention so I’ll keep doing it until I can’t anymore.
As the poster before me said love language is important.
His and mine are both touch so it works out really well.

My ways of showing him love and appreciation is by making an effort in showing interest in his projects, work and shows. Even if I truly don’t understand what he’s talking about I’ll just sit and listen and converse back with him mostly questions but he knows I’m listening. Other ways is by making sure he has clean clothes waiting for him after his shower. Making his favorite dinner once or twice a month. Just little things. The little things are what matters most. We’ve been together for almost 13 years and we still absolutely adore eachother everyday
