An Oldie but Goodie Post. People liked the different ideas to show their love. What is your favorite?
Although hearing the words, “I love you” is special and important, sometimes you wish you could tell your mate as well as hear from your mate those words, but in special and unique ways. Here are some ideas of how this can be accomplished:
- Rent his/her favorite movie, even if it is something you do not like, and plan an evening alone where you can be with him as he enjoys his special treat.
- When he/she gets out of the shower, hand him a warm, cozy towel just heated in the dryer.
- When you make him/her pancakes, first pour the words, “I Love You” on the griddle and cook for a minute to brown. Then, pour more batter over the words to create a round pancake. The result will be a pancake displaying those three special words when you flip it over.
- While he/she is out of town, wash his car and surprise him/her by picking him/her up in a clean, shiny car at the airport.
- Take him/her out to lunch.
- Have his/her favorite breakfast on the table along with the morning newspaper.
- Instead of bugging him/her to go to the grocery store with you, let him/her stay home.
- Display your favorite picture of the two of you on the refrigerator.
- Buy him/her a subscription to his favorite magazine

Great ideas Shawn!
I iced his Christmas cake and added candles saying “I Love You” last year. Not sure if he loved that I had to rush him to the kitchen before the candles melted too much or the gesture itself more, but I know he enjoyed it anyway.
Keep the ideas coming ;o)

I love it! What a cool way to let your hubby know you love him.
Thoughts to build a marriage: one of my favorite subjects. My wife and I just celebrated our 43rd anniversary and are very blessed people.
In addition to the above, two things that came to mind about showing love: (1) encouragement/encouraging words; and (2) reflecting gratefulness. My wife is a master in those two areas!
All the best to you and those you love,
Lee

Congratulations on 43 years of marriage! Be an encourager and having a grateful heart are important. It makes it easier to keep a marriage partnership going. I look forward to getting to know you better through the UBC.
when my ex used to be out of town i … as paul suggested … left some little notes in the bag … some obvious when he opened the bag, others hidden in rolled socks for later surprise
again helen.s twisting it for wider use:
you can leave such notes as well in the lunch box of your child, add some chocolate bars to the note.
send caring emails now and then
bake him a cake or buy his favorite cake from the local bakery (also even if you don.t like it)
let him sleep in in the morning

I love your little ideas Helen. Those thoughtful little things amount to meaning alot to whomever you give them to.
Or send him or her a special text message- one that only the two of you will understand…

Oooh, I like this one Roy. A little private inside message just for him.
My husband and I have been together 18 years. The things you listed might sound so simple to some people but it’s those small, sweet things that sometimes mean more. I’ll have to try the pancake!

lol, the pancake is a popular one for people to try. I think its because like you said simple, easy but sweet!
I like to do the simple and old-fashion way of slipping a note in my wife’s purse or someplace where she will find it later – when I am not around.
Another thing I do (that I know she likes) is when someone asks me what my wife does (as her profession) I tell people she is a Day Maker. Of course, everyone asks, “What is that?” I then tell them, “Every day, she makes my day!”
Thanks for the suggestions – it will be fun putting them into action!
Be Well.
Paul.

I really like your suggestions! I love that she is a Day Maker. Your wife is blessed to have a husband who makes her feel like a queen. I hope you enjoy the other little tips!
