What are some small things I can to make my Husband feel appreciated and special?

Pick up on some place he wants to go and plan a trip there... Take him to see a band or to some nice place only you know about. I think those moments are always more fun than the stupid "dinner at a $400 a bottle restaurant" ones. That's just my opinion. If you don't have common interests it's going to be very boring being together. And yes everyone says sex but I'm sure you already give him that, I'm suggesting more than that.

This is a No Brainer. Light Back rub, not massage. Foot rub, not massage. Scalp massage, not rub. Wash and polish his car, because YOU want too. Look deep into his eyes and tell him, you really admire his good taste in having you for his wife. Then pat him on the back or shoulder and say "Good Job" as you walk away. On occasion, leave him little 3rd grade love notes. "I like You. Do you like me? YES or NO (circle one) " Will you go to dinner with me on Wednesday? YES or NO (circle one)" Call him at work or when he is out with his friends. Tell him you're wear your WEDDING RING (pause) "and nothing else". This will put a picture in his head. Tell him HE is your favorite of all your Husbands. He'll say something like "I'm your only husband". You say: "SEE, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE COMPETITION."

Making someone feel special and/or appreciated is just a matter of recognition. Its easy to take or be taken for granted. It could be FUN work to NOT.

In my opinion, the small things are extremely important. I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years (we are 18 and 19) and plan on marrying one day. I would definitely say that the small things are one of the things that keeps our relationship so strong. You could leave him little notes around the house when he is going to be there without you, you could make him something to put in his car, you could make him his favorite meal without telling him, you could buy him his favorite candy bar and leave it somewhere as a surprise. Just do the things that make him smile more often.
