what can i do for my wife to show my appreciation?

Write her a nice letter letting her know how you feel and all the things you really appreciate her doing and how she supports you, so that she can take it out and re-read it on difficult days when she needs an extra little pick me up. You could attach it to a framed copy of your favourite photo of the two of you together.

It's your thoughts and words that will really mean the most to her.

I think it's very sweet of you to want to do something for her.

Without telling her, make her breakfast in bed, hold down the fort (house and kids). Let her take a shower/bath in peace. Tell her to go out and shop or do something she loves without her asking and take care of the kids while she is gone along with the house. When she returns, make sure you have a very romantic dinner for her (try to get the kids to a babysitter) and talk to her. Tell her how much you love her, how much you missed her and will miss her again. Also, tell her how proud you are of her how she handled everything while you were gone and how proud you are that she's your WIFE. After dinner, maybe rub her feet and give her a body massage or just sit and talk for a long time. After that, take it from their ;)

my husband is in the army also and we know what it's like to be on a limited income, so when he wants to show me appreciation he waits until the kids are in bed and then runs us a hot bath and will give me a FULL body massage and then he takes care of whatever house work that still needs to be done, and if i dont have to work the next morning he lets me sleep in as long as i want.

I have a friend that wishes her husband thinks like you. Just spend some time with her, talk to her, take her out to dinner and a movie. You have a difficult job my friend, and I want to say Thank You for doing it. You are away from home, your wife, and your children. The thing that impresses me the most is that you are thinking of what you wife is going through. I am sure that what ever you do, she will appreciate the gesture. Take care and God bless.

Give her a day off. I'll bet she'll love the idea, but won't be able to take the whole day. She is so used to having to do everything herself, caring for the house, the kids, everything solo, that hopefully she can relax alone for awhile. Suggest she go to a park and walk or read a good book in the tub or hit the mall and window shop. Just let her know that you appreciate her stress levels and want to give her a day to relax.

I think you're awesome to even want to do something nice for her!

Go red, white, blue!

ok, honestly, at the same time as what you probably did develop into large, it truly is continuously what maximum husbands do in only recurring abode chores - familiar needed guy jobs that are carried out to maintain the significant different and little ones operating - merely as her conserving the abode sparkling, worrying on your little ones, doing laundry and dishes ect are universal stuff that your spouse does that you're taking with out any interest maximum in all likelihood, because enable's settle for it, we do. Do you coach an ecstatic quantity of appreciation for her washing the dishes, making waiting and serving foodstuff, doing laundry, cleansing the loos, keepin the abode sparkling and taking care of the youngsters all day with no sanity destroy? Or do you merely imagine of it as it is her activity, and it truly is an effortless chore, no longer some thing to be pronounced as out for astonishing appreciative remark? Do you do issues FOR her, like own issues, notes, flora, taking her out on dates, spending high quality time inclusive of her, presents, portray a wall that she rather needs painted? I propose it ought to sound dumb, yet perchance the wall element is rather significant to her - after all, she's there all day on a daily basis with no destroy from screaming youngsters , in certain circumstances those 4 walls can rather close in and experience like a detention center that you're trapped in...stupid because it ought to sound to you, perchance portray that wall may make a large vast difference to her. keep in ideas, what she's doing at abode isn't valueless both. She's raising your little ones, and dealing rather not undemanding at it. that is a 2 way highway.

Just some flowers and a nice long love letter telling her how much you appreciate her would be awesome in my opinion. Nothing is better than that.

Why not arrange to have a family photos taken, and give her the opportunity to get all dolled up for it? Tell her that you want to be able to carry a pic of your beautiful family together as you go away -- she'll see how important she is to you and the family she's maintaining is as well.

write her a letter, telling her all the reasons why you love her. not the things she does, the things she IS. nothing is better than someone loving and appreciating you for just simply being-all the best, God Bless

Take her on a date. buy her little things that make her feel special. Give her a lot of compliments on how she looks. All woman need to hear the word "Beautiful."
