Who knew that so many men needed some flirting in their lives?
Over 60 (!) of you signed up for the 5 Day Flirting Challenge. I am blown away! And it’s not too late: If you have a friend who you want to challenge along with you, send her over here and she can flirt along with the rest of us!
So how bad did I need this in my own life? Just last night as I was falling asleep, Roger said, “Thanks for all the extra attention this weekend. It’s been so nice…” (And all I could think of was that I gave him an extra hug in the morning. Yikes. The poor boy has been way deprived…)
So today, all I want you to do is leave a post-it somewhere where only he will find it (and he doesn’t have to find it today.) Write something fun, something flirty. Here are 21 suggestions from the book THE HUSBAND PROJECT
- I’m praying for you today.
- Those jeans are really working for you…
- I love you.
- You are the best dad!
- You’re the kind of husband that makes the other wives jealous.
- You rock my world!
- Can’t wait to see you tonight – meet me upstairs…
- Thanks for working hard to provide for us. I appreciate all that you do.
- You make me feel beautiful.
- I thank God for you everyday.
- How did I get so lucky, being married to a guy like you?
- You’re great!
- You make everyday more fun.
- Have a great day.
- You’re hot!
- I feel so safe with you.
- Smart and good looking – I’ve got the whole package in you!
- You can be very distracting, you know…
- Our kids are so blessed to have a dad like you.
- That smile I wear – it is all because of you.
- God have blessed me in big ways by letting me be your wife.
And once you tell me what you wrote and where you hid it, I will put you in the drawing for a copy of my latest book THE ME PROJECT

On the post it note i wrote to my hubby: God have blessed me in big ways by letting me be your wife. But I am hesitating whether to post it in his music drawer as he is no longer comms with me & he wants to be out of this marriage. I have done my part & wants to make this marriage works but it seems like it’s not working & getting worse. Should I post it or not? And what kind of response I will get from him?
Count me in on this project….
My husband is a rockstar, so I left a guitar pick with a flirty note on it…
🙂
I wrote him a note telling him how much I appreciated his hard work, and what a great dad he is and put it in his wallet. I wrote another one that said I LOVE YOU and put it in his truck. I wrote a third one that had 10 things I love about him and put it by the alarm clock. Yeah I went a little over board, but I feel like I am making up for us being a part a lot over the last year for school and work purposes. Thanks this is going to help my outlook on “us” a lot! 😉
Can I just say that he was so glad to receive that note today? He had a huge presentation to put together and that really made his day.
I can tell you I have been doing the “fake it till you make it” for a little while now. This helped both of us.
Over breakfast this morning we wrote up action lists for ourselves for this week as we prepare for our family vacation. So later in the day, on my ‘to do’ list, I added the word husband – he’s been grinning ever since he noticed it.
When Kathi suggested this I felt I just could not do that right now, I am just not up for flattering him right now. Sometimes it feels the harder I try the worst things get and he just doesn’t get it. However, God worked on my heart telling me to let it go and let Him do His work. I am responsible for myself and my actions. I chose him for my husband and I need to do everything I can to improve the relationship the best that I can without a lot of expectations put on him that with his limited capabilities he is not able to do.I just need to accept things the way they are..
Therefore, today as my husband came out of the bathroom after getting dressed for our church’s first baseball game of the season I gave out a “WOOT HOOT! Look at that baseball player!” My husband of 32 years turned around and could barely look at me he was blushing with a crocked grin on his face all embarrassed and flattered by the comment I made.
On the bathroom mirror, I posted “Meet me in the Hot tub later, looking forward to it:)”
One of several I’ll be posting…… (He goes out by himself every Monday night. I’ll post a few at home while he’s out.)
On his steering wheel:
“Have fun! I’ll miss you!”
“Thanks for working so hard to provide for us! I love and appreciate you!” on a post it on his work cell phone….
I put “you are the best Dad – how’d I get so lucky being married to a man like you?” and hid it with his nighttime bite plate.
I put a post it in his underwear drawer and said…
Love,
Nothing ‘brief’ about it–You rock my world in your love and your hugs!
Love you forever!
Me
I wrote: Hey Hottie Ax Man (he spent the weekend getting wood)… I love you.
Since we played games with friends last night until the wee hours of the am, I wote “Thanks for the fun & games last night, you were amazing”
This flirting is fun.. what’s next?
Emailed him to his work account since he is deployed at the moment so he should receive it when he starts work!!:) I am really looking forward to the flirting!!:)
I wrote, “I love you and thank God for you. I am proud of you. You are a wonderful father and husband.” I put it in his dresser drawer.
I wrote my hubby a note thanking him for all of his hard work helping me with homeschooling this year. We are part of a charter school which is a wonderful thing, but the paperwork and hoops you have to jump through to receive your money is a nightmare. My husband does all of that stuff for me so I don’t have to. So, I thanked him for all of that and slipped the note into his lunch. Unfortunately, he caught me putting the note in. He assured me he would forget it about by lunch and would be surprised anyway. 🙂
First: Rosario (above) – I just stopped to pray for you and your family. I have been in a place of hopelessness before in our marriage and it was a very dark/hard place to be. I will say that I believe in a God that is able to heal – even when we have given up. I’m praying that you will continue to be a light to your husband and the rest of the family, that you will be strengthened by other believing friends/church home and that you will do the right thing. I learned long ago that I could not change others – just do what God called me to do and pray for HIM to work on the other person. Please know that while we don’t know each other – I’m praying.
Next: for the challenge – my husband is currently working a job (after a year of unemployment) that is, frankly, several/many steps back professionally. While this can be bad for the “ego” of a man’s life – he has been AWESOME to see God in this situation – allowing him to interact with people he would have never met and have some awesome conversations with them. So – my note will be stuck on the bathroom mirror – “I’m so stinkin proud of you! Thanks for working so hard for our family! You ROOOCK!”
I am not able to do this challenge. I feel my husband will take it the wrong way. We had problems over the weeks past, and I am at the point of giving up. Please pray for my family. My husband it not a believer. Neither is his family. I am always the one with the problems according to them. I believe my husband has problems with alcohol. But he is in denial.
I wrote: ” Thank you for working hard to provide for us. The kids and I appreciate all that you do! I thank God everyday that I get to be married to you!”
I put it in his “man room” that he is working on packing up this week, as we just found out yesterday we are moving next weekend.
I went with: ” Smart and sexy- I’ve got the whole package with you!”
I put the note on his phone so he would see it as he is headed out the door. 🙂
I wrote “I’m praying for you today, I love you” as a remninder in his mobile which will go off at 10.30am tomrrow during his morning tea break.
I picked” our kids are so blessed to have a dad like you” and stuck it to his phone so he’ll see it first thing in the morning!
I put a blue post-it on my hubbys police belt, I picked “Smart and Good looking- I’ve got the whole package in you! <3
I wrote : 2 x 4’s aren’t the only things that are studly when you’re on the job!! Then something personal and totally inappropriate to share. 🙂
I’m putting it in his lunch cooler
I wrote “You are the love of my life… I thank God for allowing us to find one another. Love you”
We are both on our 2nd marriage, married not even 3 years yet, but dated on and off for 8 years before marriage.
This is going to be fun 🙂
I can’t (well, won’t) say what I wrote, but suffice it to say it’s flirty and would be just a bit dirty if not in the context of our marriage. 😉 I’m putting it in his lunch.
We are going camping this week, so it will be fun to be able to focus on him without having it be while he’s at work, etc. I’m writing “Congrats on 13 years in ministry. You make me proud!” and I’m gonna put it in his Bible…<3
I wrote “I can’t wait to see you later” and I stuck it on his breakfast container that he is taking to work in the morning. 😀
I chose you are the kind of man that makes other girls jelous.
This is a wonderful challenge.thank you.
I wrote “I thank God for you everyday” and put it on his steering wheel
I wrote “I love your wrangler butt it makes me hot!!” that goes back to our courting days. Thought I would start there it was fun and his wrangler butt still makes me hot even been married for 13 years!!
“You’re so hot — you are THE cause of global warming!”
On a water bottle waiting for him on his weight bench.
(Do I get extra credit for wearing a cleavage-baring shirt that says “I <3 My Husband" while I'm on the elliptical…in full view of his weight bench?)
I chose “You’re the kind of husband that makes the other wives jealous” We’ve been having a lot of jealousy issues in our marriage lately but the other way around. This way, he knows that I think he is wonderful enough that *I* should be jealous too… but in a good way. 🙂
Thanks Kathi!
