wife, love, marriage, relationship, gifts, spouse, anniversary

Being married is not always easy. Every marriage has its own set of quarrels and concerns from time to time. You are sharing a life with someone, the good and the bad, there is no doubt there are going to be the occasional bumps in the relationship. But there are also countless amazing aspects of being married, like having someone by your side to always support and be there for you. And sometimes, you just want to surprise your spouse with something that really shows them how much you love them. If you are arguing with your wife and want to make it up with a sweet gesture, or just want to surprise her with a nice treat for no reason, here are 7 ways you can do that!

  1. Plan Out an Elaborate Date Night

I can guarantee all your wife wants is to be surprised with an elaborate date night. One night after she comes home from work, tell her to get ready and put on a nice dress. Make reservations at a nice restaurant and she will definitely be touched by your plans. Try pheromones for men before taking her out for a night filled with deep conversation. And don’t forget to give her a bouquet of flowers. That will make or break the evening.

  1. Get Her Chocolates Delivered

Surprising your wife does not have to consist of a crazy plan, getting her chocolates delivered is more than enough. This sweet gesture will make her day and show her how much you love her, especially when it comes as a complete surprise on a random weeknight.

  1. Surprise Her with a Custom Gift

Because everyone loves a surprise gift from time to time. Getting personalized gifts for your wife is a very meaningful gesture as it shows you put effort into making something unique just for her. You can get her a customized canvas with her favorite quote, a pillow with a picture of your family, and more.

  1. Treat Her to a Massage

There is a good chance your wife is in need of a self-care day, so if you want to treat her to something nice, a massage is a great option. You can get a gift card for a professional massage, or you can buy some relaxing massage oil, light some candles, and do it yourself. Either way, she will surely love it.

  1. Write Her a Love Letter

A handwritten love letter is undoubtedly one of the sweetest things you give someone. Writing a love letter is proof that you do not need to spend a bunch of money buying an expensive gift to show your love for someone. Putting pen to paper and writing out your feelings is an easy way to show (and most importantly, tell) your wife how amazing she is.

  1. Book a Night in a Hotel

Sometimes all you need is one night away from the craziness of life to relax and unwind. You do not have to go anywhere far or plan an elaborate trip, just book one night in a hotel for you and your wife to spend some time alone together. If you have kids, make sure to hire a babysitter beforehand. Bring some champagne and roses, get some room service, and spend quality time together in a relaxing hotel room.

  1. Do Her Chores

There are very few things that will bring a smile to your wife’s face more than doing her chores. Wake up extra early one morning, clean and organize the house, and do her laundry. And if you are really feeling like doing something special, make her some breakfast, too. She will be truly shocked when she wakes up.

Any of these are simple yet incredibly meaningful ways to show your wife how much you love her. Marriage is amazing, tiring, exciting, and overwhelming all at once, and sometimes you just want to tell your wife how lucky you are to have her by your side. Your wife means a lot to you, make sure she knows it.

Be The Dad Your Kids Need You To Be

Stepping up to the mark as a father is not easy. Some dads are thrown into the role without really thinking about it. It seems to be common that babies are being born due to an ‘accident’ between the parents. So, often the dad doesn’t have a choice. Every child is a blessing, and even though some might not be planned, they should all be seen as a blessing. The moment you saw your little baby we just know your heart would have melted. But then it turns into a rock solid ball of stone again, and dads seem to take a back seat when it comes to parenting. Some dads turn into a ball of mush and can’t help but do everything for their little baby. But for some, being a dad is just totally alien, and not something that comes naturally. It’s just like some moms. Everyone expects moms to be this super mom right from the get go, but it’s not always that easy. So, we’re going to talk to you about becoming the dad that your kids need you to be, so that your family can have the best life possible.

The Provider

This is the one role that men like that take on wholeheartedly. Just like mothers have the natural instinct to be a mom, fathers have the natural instinct to want to provide. It’s like an unwritten rule. Plus, the family is going to rely on you until your partner can return to work, which should be after nine months to a year. Even after that, your family needs you to be the provider. Raising a child is just so expensive, especially as they get older. So being career driven and money driven is going to give you and your family the best life possible. Always make sure you’re looking out for a career that will help you to achieve that, rather than settling for a job that doesn’t!

Healthy & Happy

Everyone wants to be happy and healthy, and you’ll no doubt want to be around for many years to come to see your children grow up into their own adult life. However, dads are notoriously terrible at speaking about their health and well-being. Issues as simple as hearing issues are ignored for years because they don’t want to face the problem. Sound like you? Or does it now, if you’re struggling to hear. A hearing instrument specialist will find the best solution that’s compatible to your lifestyle, so you don’t have to be paranoid about people judging you for having a hearing aid!  Any other health issue that you have that you keep ignoring, get to the doctors about it!

Hands On

Being hands on is so important. If you want to build a bond that means your kids can come to you for everything, you have to be involved with everything. Don’t be the dad that just sits back and waits for it to be play time. Cook their dinner, wash and dress them, take them to school meetings. The more involved you are, the stronger the relationship.

Babe, I know we bicker often, but hey, like Abraham Lincoln said:

No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.

Although we’re done making kittens meow. But I’d our 2 kittens are pretty cute! And, realistically, annoying at times. But just loooookkkk…….

kids, cute, siblings, anniversary

It’s been a long time since I actually posted life happenings here, but I had to make it known to the world (or readers of this post) that I am happy to celebrate 11 years of marriage with my wife. We have such an awesome little (but growing too fast!) family!

I love you, Kelley, always!
