10 simple ways to make your husband feel loved everyday

Marriage is such a beautiful thing. The idea of spending the rest of our lives with our special someone is truly comforting. 

But it doesn’t come without its challenges. And one of those is to keep the spark alive and make each other feel loved, day in and day out, through decades of togetherness. 

In this article, we’re going to explore ten simple ways you can make your husband feel loved every single day. Let’s dive in!

1) Show genuine interest in his day 

First off, taking a real interest in his day is an excellent way to show your husband you love him. 

My husband and I have a ritual for this. Every day when he comes home, we sit down for coffee and a pastry, and just talk. It’s a great way to release the stresses of the day; I like to think of it as taking the work day off your system like a shirt and exchanging it for a fresh one. 

After a long day of work, there’s nothing more comforting to him than knowing I’m genuinely interested in hearing about his experiences.

So, take the time to ask him about his day. But don’t just ask – really listen.

And pay attention to the way you respond, too. Nod, engage in the conversation and respond thoughtfully. Show empathy if he’s had a challenging day and share in his excitement when he talks about his successes. 

This will not only show him that you love him but also that you’re his biggest cheerleader.

2) Show appreciation for the little things

Another underrated but hugely effective way to show your husband you love him is to thank him for the little things he does for you. 

And I mean, the little things. The tiniest gestures that may be so subtle but really brighten your day. Things like taking out the trash or making your coffee in the morning. 

Appreciation doesn’t have to be grandiose. A simple ‘thank you’ or a warm smile can go a long way. The key here is to be consistent and genuine. 

You’d be surprised how much this small gesture can make him feel loved and appreciated every day. It tells him you see him and his efforts to make your life go easier. 

3) Cook his favorite meal

Remember that age-old adage, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”? That still holds some truth. 

Many people, not just men, appreciate the comfort of sitting down to a home-cooked meal. I know for sure just how special it makes my husband feel when I cook for him, especially since he knows I don’t particularly enjoy cooking. 

That makes it even more significant because he knows I’m doing it out of love, not out of obligation. More than the flavor, what truly counts is the time, effort, and care that goes into making a meal.

You don’t have to be a gourmet chef to pull this off. Just put your heart into it, and he will feel the love radiating from every bite. 

4) Regularly initiate physical affection

Next up, never underestimate the power of a touch. A hug, a kiss on the forehead, holding hands while watching TV — these are all simple yet effective ways to show your love. 

Physical affection isn’t reserved just for the bedroom. While sexual intimacy is an important part of a relationship, non-sexual affectionate gestures often carry a deep sense of love and connection – without any other expectations attached.

So make it a point to regularly initiate contact throughout the day, be it a gentle squeeze of his hand or a playful pat on the back. This will make him feel loved, valued, and most importantly, desired.

5) Compliment him

Another simple yet powerful way to make your husband feel valued is to pay him compliments. Everyone loves to receive a compliment, and your husband is no exception.

Whether it’s about how he looks, his achievements, or the way he handled a difficult situation, a sincere compliment can boost his confidence and brighten his day. 

Just make sure that your compliments are genuine and specific to him. This shows him that you notice and appreciate his unique qualities and efforts.

6) Encourage his hobbies

Here’s something many wives find hard to do. It’s quite common for wives to see hobbies and interests outside of the marriage as something that takes their husbands away from them. 

But you know what? Giving your husband the space to do his own thing is not only necessary, but real proof that you love and respect him. 

It shows that you respect his individuality and personal space. You’re a couple with lots of shared activities and memories, but you also maintain a healthy sense of self. 

So, whatever it is he’s into, whether it’s video games, fishing, reading books, or basketball – get enthusiastic about it. 

It doesn’t mean you have to join him in his hobbies all the time. Just showing an interest and encouraging him to take time for his passions can be more than enough. This tells him that you appreciate him for who he is and respect his need for personal time.

7) Be his safe haven

This is truly one of the most comforting parts of being married. You finally have someone whom you can share your highs and lows with. That is, if they make you feel safe. 

And by safe, I don’t just mean physically. I mean, emotionally and mentally. 

Think about it: in a world that’s often challenging and stressful, don’t you want to be with someone who’ll understand you and won’t judge you when you aren’t at your best? 

Your husband feels that way, too. So be his safe space, his sanctuary of peace to make him feel deeply loved. Be the person he can be vulnerable with, the person who will understand and comfort him.

Listen to his worries without judgment, hold him when he’s feeling down, and reassure him when he’s uncertain. Showing him that he can depend on you in times of need will foster a deeper emotional connection between you two.

8) Be patient and understanding

Being his safe space means practicing patience and understanding. Everyone has their bad days, and your husband is no exception. When he’s irritable or upset, try to understand what he’s going through instead of getting upset yourself.

Your patience and understanding will demonstrate your unconditional love for him, and he’ll appreciate you more for it. Remember, nobody’s perfect, and showing that you can accept him, flaws and all, can be one of the most powerful expressions of love.

9) Surprise him

Who doesn’t love thoughtful surprises? It’s such a fun and wonderful way to feel loved, right? 

It doesn’t even have to be extravagant, just something that shows you’ve been thinking about him. 

For example, I love putting random sweet Post-its in my husband’s work bag. So when he opens it up, he’ll have that reminder that I’m thinking of him!

What other surprises will make his heart swell? Here are some ideas:

• Plan an unexpected date night
• Prepare his favorite snack when he comes home
• Buy him something related to his hobbies
• Order a surprise lunch delivery for him at work
• Plan a surprise trip
• Do random acts of kindness for him!

These little surprises can make everyday life exciting and let him know he’s always on your mind.

10) Say “I love you” often

Last but not least, tell him you love him. These three words, when said sincerely, carry enormous power. It never fails. While it’s true actions speak louder than words, sometimes hearing the words can be just as important.

But don’t limit it to just saying “I love you”. Be creative. Let him know why you love him, what about him makes you happy, and how much he means to you.
