It's the little things... so what is yours?

Tonight DH cooked dinner, made my plate, and filled up my wine glass (more than once). I love it when he cooks.

 

What little things do your husbands do that make you appreciate them that much more?

Re: It's the little things... so what is yours?

    • He makes breakfast for the kids
    • He makes me coffee or tea without asking if I want one
    • He will notice when we need groceries and he will go and get them
    • He will pick up dirty clothes from the floor on his way to the laundry
    • He will fix something around the house when I ask him
    • He makes reservations for dinner
    • He plans to see a movie with me
    • He does a lot of little things, I can't complain
    • He does the dishes because he knows I hate it. 

      He lets me do the laundry because he knows I'm particular about it.. lol

      The way he looks up at me from working on his computer, with love in his eyes.

      The other day when we were doing our taxes, the accountant got up to get something and she said something really cute, and I just looked at him with a wide smile on my face and he smiled knowingly back at me and I knew that he knew what I was thinking.  He knows me so well.

      He tells me when he's upset with me in a calm voice.

      He waits to watch certain shows or movies that he knows I'd like until we can watch them together.

      I could list more, but it would take up too much room.. lol.  I'm so grateful for my husband.  I couldn't imagine life without him.

    • He cooks for me, most nights. I love that.

      I tidied the house yesterday, and was moody because I was hungry - so he sat me down and let me relax whilst he made me a plate of food and cut my sandwiches into little triangles - I thought that was cute.

    • Only 4 of us can brag on our honeys? That's no fun.
    • My husband travels A LOT for work.

      When he's home he makes my coffee when I get up, he cooks, cleans, does laundry and generally takes over all the house duties when he's home. Mind you, when he's home that's his time off for the month, 4 days total. Not to mention he handles my mood swings when he's gone and me in general. I think he might be part saint. LOL

    • My H is the 'bug killer' in the house....I despise any kind of creepy crawly anything, and he will take care of it the rare ocassion one pops up. He also makes breakfast every morning and also takes care of our lunch to bring to work. There's plenty of other stuff too - he's a good guy :)
    • my favorite thing that my husband does is :

      I told him when we first started dating how important and close i was with my grandfather my entire life, we were bestfriends, and when he finally passed away, my heart was broken, but when i grew up he always made sure to have a cup of hot tea ready for me, and said "if a cup of tea can't fix it, then well try 2 cups and see" and ever since i told him that, if i have a rough day he makes me a hot cup of tea, in the tea.  

    • He will cook when I don't feel like it.

      He kills all the scary bugs lol

      He will do things around the apartment when I ask.

      He strives to make me laugh every day.

      He tells me how important I am to him.

      He tries things bc I want to do them.

      He makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.

    • For me its when I feel that no one in this world gets me and he says exactly what I need to hear..
    • He is:

      Kind

      Understanding

      Patient

      the Cook most days (and a damn decent one too)

      the bug killer

      nice to my sisters and friends

      Encouraging and Supportive

    • Most days I work nights, and I will have dinner there waiting for me when I come home. 

      Since I work nights, I tend to cook breakfast, and he always compliments it even if its just something a 10 year old could have made. 

      He is exactly the same person in front of me as he is with anyone else (including still holding my hand and kissing my forehead in front of other people) 

      When he goes downstairs, he will ask if I want or need anything.

      He lets me wax stupid over things i'm excited about, even if he doesn't understand them. 

      He will go grocery shopping when we need something without being asked, and he coupons the crap out of them. 

      He sends me nice texts during the day like "thank you for cooking breakfast it was awesome!" etc. 

      He saves shows on netflix that he thinks i'll like so we can watch together. 

      He remembers our inside jokes.

      He always saves ads or offers he sees online on things he thinks i'll like.

      Any time I have a bad day, he always tell me "I love you and I have your back."
