How to Make Your Husband Happy

Go to a concert together. Buy tickets to see a band he’s a fan of. Concerts are often memorable experiences, and each time leaves you with a different feeling.

Go on a random hike. Load the car while your husband is away and drive to the place you two always wanted to visit. Make a playlist of songs about your relationship to listen to on the go.

Stay up all night watching a full series. Does he like a certain movie producer? You can collect all the movies he likes, make some popcorn and stay up all night watching them all. While you may fall asleep halfway through, this activity will be fun and provide you and your partner with some quality time at home.

Go camping. Going camping in the suburbs can be very romantic – especially when you are together under the starry sky. Just pack your essentials and head into the woods to be together for an inexpensive camping trip.

Leave notes around the house. Hide love notes around the house where your husband can see them. Don’t just stop there. You can even put cute messages in your husband’s clothes pockets, or stick the words “I love you” on the steering wheel of your car.

Ask him to do new things. Did you just read an interesting book, or just discovered a very talented new band? Share those findings with your husband. When there are new things in the relationship, the two of you will have more to say to each other.

Frame a photo of the two of you. A picture is worth a thousand words, and framing a picture of the both of you is a great way to show how much you care about your husband. Alternatively, you can include photos of the most recent vacation, or simply memorable moments of the year to remind him of the good times.

Make him a gift at home. Packaged discount cards are a great (and economical) way to show someone you love them. Get creative and give your husband coupons for romantic activities you can both enjoy anytime. Some ideas are as follows:

• Massage.
• Intimate activities.
• His favorite meal is cooked by you.
• TV remote.
• Go to a restaurant that he likes.
• Benefits of taking time off from housework.

Cook him dinner or make his favorite dessert. Food can really lift the soul, and putting the effort into a delicious home-cooked meal can make others realize how much you love them. Once in a while, take the time to cook your husband his favorite food or dessert. Make it a surprise to add some romance.

Create a playlist or record a CD. Take the time to create a playlist of songs your husband likes, or find new songs that you think suit his taste. You can also create a list of love songs that the two of you have heard at some point.

• Wrap it up in beautiful gift wrap, include a small note explaining how important this list is to you, and then give it to him.
• Alternatively, put it in the car CD player, and set it to turn on when he starts the car. This adorable act will make your husband smile as soon as he buckles his seat belt.

Give him memorabilia from nature. Collect things in the wild that have special meaning to you. It could be a heart-shaped rock, a seashell picked up from the beach, or even a twig from your favorite hike. Let your husband know that those mementos from nature always remind you of him.

Keep the house clean. That doesn’t mean you’re alone in cleaning the house all the time, but you should both share the responsibility of building a home.

Welcome husband warmly. If you’re at home when he gets home from work, greet him with a kiss and a smile. That will immediately create a positive atmosphere for your subsequent interaction, and will make home a place of comfort and happiness. ^[2]

Cook together. Share the responsibility of cooking dinner that you can both enjoy. Dinner is a time to talk about the past day and connect with your husband deeply. Avoid frozen or prepackaged foods and have fun making dinner together.

Renovate your home together. Use two weekends to work on a home improvement plan. Building or painting a home to make it more beautiful can be a worthwhile experience. When both of them do something for each other, the results will be very satisfying.

Invite his family to dinner. Once you’ve turned your home into a warm place that embodies your love, invite your in-laws over for dinner or supper. Your husband will appreciate your efforts to get along and your warm welcome to his family.

Avoid being roommates. It’s very easy for the two of you to become so comfortable with each other that they almost become roommates in the house. Make sure that the passion is still there by getting close, touching and kissing at any time of the day. Once you’ve lived together, don’t get too hung up on each other. There are natural bodily behaviors that, if performed by the two of you in front of each other, are impolite and uninteresting.

Take time for yourself. In marriage, when the wife is happy, the family is happy.

• For your husband to be happy when he is with you, you need to be confident and happy first. Happiness comes from a lot of different behaviors, feelings and experiences of each person, just make sure next to your family, you still have time to take care of yourself.

Take time to hang out with friends alone. You and your husband should take the time to nurture relationships with other people. Friends are also a very important part, and going out alone with friends will help you balance your life.

• Set aside one evening each week to hang out with friends. When choosing the same evening, neither you nor your husband will feel left out when the other is out with a group of friends.
• Don’t talk about your husband during your outings with friends. Consider this a time to get away from the hectic family life and connect with friends and events in their lives.

Do not give up personal preferences. It’s great if you and your husband share the same interests, but make sure you both maintain your own interests. If you like reading and he likes to play golf, give each other space. The two of you don’t have to share everything all the time, and giving each other space can really strengthen the bond.
