As you probably know from the kind of books I write, I am pretty crazy about my husband.
But, just like every other marriage, unless I am intetional about letting him know it, I can sometimes forget that little fact.
I have certain things that stress me out in our relationship:
- Traveling Together
- Directions while traveling
- Traveling with kids
(Do you see a pattern here?)
It can be hard to remember all the reasons that Roger rocks my world on a regular basis.
So instead of silently pouting and waiting until it all gets better, (because really? I was the one with the attitude this weekend…) it’s time for my campaign to let Roger know that I love him.
So here are three simple things I am going to do to improve my relationship with my man, today.
- Leaving a Post-it Y’all know I have a deep affection for my office supplies. When I can combine my love of all things form Office Depot with my love of my man, it’s a beautiful thing. So I’m going to let Roger know – via sticky note – one of the reasons I love him.
- Make Him a Treat Baked goods always make Roger feel loved. I have time today to make him something (OK – so it will probably involve a mix, but still…) but if I didn’t, there is no reason I can’t get him something from Safeway.
- Brag on Him It takes about two seconds to think of something great about Roger – but that does little good unless I share it. Sometimes, I need to share it with Rog, but it is way more effective to let someone he knows how much he rocks.
So today, I want you to join me in a love-a-thon. Will you do one thing to let your man know he rocks? tell us what you did (or are going to do) and I will enter you into a drawing for one of my favorite marriage-enhancing books:
Red-Hot Monogomy by Bill and Pam Farrel.
Make sure you let me know know what it is, here on the blog, by Wednesday, and I will enter you into the drawing.
I will make him his special coffee and we will sit on the patio and just enjoy the morning and be sure to tell him at least one thing he does that I love about him each day.
We had a time set aside for a date and a friend called and asked him if he wanted to go to a movie and as he was telling him no, I flagged him down and told him I thought he should go since he doesn’t often get to hang out with his guy friends. He did and had a great time and has promised me a really special date next week 🙂
I’ll just say, I did something that blessed him. 🙂
I wrote a blog post with photos for my hubby called ” A Man Like You” and he loved it.
Um – who else wants to be married to chelsea?
I think this is a great idea! Maybe it should be like a weekly thing in my book! Today massaged my husbands low back, made him breakfast in bed, and thanked him for the little things he does…work so hard for his family, compliments the kids, teaches with love, and remembers to kiss me good morning!
Sticky notes is a great idea! I also like to brag on him on Facebook when he’s accomplished something and tell the world…
Great ideas Kathy! I gave my hubby a few hours off from the kids yesterday… he’s always saying he has no “me time” so I took the boys into the kitchen and made Spritz cookies with them and asked Kevin if he would like to head out for a while… he loved the idea and came back later!
Thursday is our 10th Anniversary, so I’m trying to put together a little gift bag of his favorite things, and I’m trying to find a really great steak or seafood place to eat at.
FINALLY, he’s been talking about a few movies that he really wanted to watch, and we just don’t get to the movies now that we have a baby and a 3 year old, so I went to Blockbuster and got him two that he has been talking about… they sell their used dvd’s at a pretty good price… about the price of one movie ticket if you go during a sale. 🙂

Since the kids and I are working VBS all week, and the hubster will be working all kinds of crazy hours this week, I am making one of his favorite meals and the leftovers he can take for lunch:
dilled macaroni salad and corndogs.
I also put some ‘it’s-it’ bars in the freezer for his snacking pleasure.
Sticky notes today…several of them in funny places! Telling him thanks for all he does for me…especially today and yesterday since I’m not feeling well and he helps out lots~ ?
I will make him a new batch of his favorite cookies before the old batch runs out!
One thing I need to do is be more purposeful in letting him know why I love him – instead of just saying “I love you,” today I will tell him why!
