Ten Simple Ideas to Loving Your Husband (favorites)

Ten Ways to Love Your Husband

1) Purchase Post-it notes and write on each one all the things you admire, love, and respect about him. I wrote down our a few inside jokes and our marriage date too. I used this for our anniversary and put them ALL over the hotel room. If your husband's love language is words of affirmation like mine, then this is a big hit!

2) This one is a lot like the first, except you get a lot of balloons (heart shaped if possible) and tie post it or any kind of paper to the the end of the strings and write why you love him on them. You can also tie to the bottom a favorite treat or small gift. I used his favorite candy bar and a movie on two of them.

3) I found on Etsy.com that you can create a poem and have someone frame it for you. I wrote a poem, and the lady I used was VERY accommodating and worked with me to have the backdrop, word placing, and font to have it just how I wanted it. I ordered the poem and framed it myself (this way was cheaper).

4) While my husband was deployed I saved every card from the flowers he sent me and bought a small shadow box frame from Hobby Lobby. It was very inexpensive, and I framed every letter to give back to him. This is a good idea for any meaningful memento between you and your husband.

5) I love this idea. For the family on a budget, simply get a Reese's peanut butter cup or his favorite candy bar that you can write on and use a toothpick to carve out a saying or draw a heart! Simply glue it back together and hand it to him for a good afternoon treat!

6) Also on Etsy, you can custom make one side of 11 by 13 or bigger frame with a picture on the right and your favorite words and memories on the right. This was a very cheap and very fun way to remember our honeymoon, inside jokes, his favorite sport's team, etc... Again, framing it yourself is cheaper.

7) Get side walk chalk and before he leaves for work in the morning or after he comes home make a declaration of your love for him. This one is really fun if you have children too! If you are into this idea, you may also like the idea of getting a dry erase marker or even lipstick and writing a message for him in the bathroom mirror for when he gets up in the morning.

8) Surprise him on a date to see his favorite movie, concert, or event. If you have kids like me it can be a little tricky but with the right planning it is very possible!

9) For a cheap, fun idea I discovered on pinterest. Simply go to the Dollar Store and get white plate in the craft section with a porcelain pen. Leave a small note or simply say "I love you" on it. Make him dinner and after he is done eating, he will see the message.

10) There are a lot of printable labels for free online (a lot on pinterest) that have fun titles for you to stick to drinks. I found for my husband that said "I SODA love you" etc...YES, they are cheesy, but they are fun too.
