My husband and I (both 31) have been married for a little over two years and together for almost 11 years (our anniversary is next week!). I feel like I completely lucked out – he truly is everything I dreamed of what marriage would be like. He has so many ways of making me feel special and safe and confident, he is the best listener, makes me laugh every single day, shares the mental and household load even though his job is so much more demanding, is super attentive and works really hard for us. Plus I feel like our sex life is getting better every year. On top of that he truly is the smartest and most handsome person I know and instead of having a big ego, he has the kindest and sweetest soul!
I want to make sure I never take him for granted and while I believe I already do quite a lot to show up for him in lots of different ways, I’d love to keep growing. So I wanted to ask the husbands here:
What are some small, everyday things your wife does that make you feel loved or special? And on the flip side – what are some bigger gestures or moments that made you feel giddy with love or deeply appreciated?
We’re also thinking of starting to try for a baby in the next 3-4 months and I was wondering how to make pregnancy and early fatherhood special and magical for him (as I’m the one who’s going through all the exciting physical changes, getting the bump and all the attention from everyone, being able to bond and carry our baby in me, etc.)? I want to make it as exciting and special for him.
Appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences!
