100 Ways To Love Your Husband HIS Way - Part 2

By www.marriagemissions.com

A husband considers romance to be one way and the wife considers it to be another. The wife provides many romantic gestures which go unnoticed by her husband, because it wasn't romantic to him. The husband can spend precious time doing what he thinks will bless and romance his wife only to discover she didn't appreciate it at all.

Study your spouse. Find out what romance means to them? It may surprise you!

Discuss the following list with your husband. Ask him to check the ones most meaningful and then arrange them in order of importance to him.

But keep in mind that these are ONLY SUGGESTIONS.

26. Admit your mistakes; don't be afraid to be humble. Peel away your pride.

27. Defend him to those who disrespectfully talk about him. Love protects (1 Cor. 13:7).

28. Respect his desire to do well-not his performance.

29. Rub his feet or neck, or scratch his back after a hard day.

30. Take time for the two of you to sit and talk calmly (schedule it when necessary).

31. Initiate going out on romantic outings (when he's not tired).

32. Email him when he's at work, telling him how much you love him.

33. Surprise him with a fun gift of some kind that he'd really enjoy.

34. Express how much you appreciate him for working so hard to support the family.

35. Tell him how proud you are of him for who he is (giving him specific reasons).

36. Give advice in a loving way - not in a nagging or belittling way.

37. Help your husband to be the Spiritual head at home (without "lording" it over him).

38. Reserve some energy for him so you're not so tired when he wants you sexually.

39. Don't expect him to do projects beyond his natural capabilities.

40. Pray for him to enjoy God's best in life.

41. Take special notice for what he has done for you and the family.

42. Brag about him to other people both in front of him and even when he's not there.

43. Keep conversations brief when he's tired-so he isn't "flooded" by too many words.

44. Tell him 3 things you specifically appreciate about him.

45. Honor him in front of the children (differ respectfully in private when necessary).

46. Give him time to unwind for a little while after he comes home from work.

47. Get up with him, even when he gets up earlier than you want to and pray with him (you can go back to bed afterward, if possible -it's a sacrifice worth making.)

48. Be his "help-mate" in whatever ways you sense he needs it.

49. Participate in shoulder-to-shoulder activities with him (like watching a movie and such) without talking. Sometimes men just like to BE with you and not talk.

50. Be a student of his ways so you show your love in ways he best comprehends it.

51. When your husband is in a bad mood give him time to recover. Don't crowd him.

52. Help him to finish his goals, hobbies, or education when your see he needs it.

53. Treat him as if God has stamped on his forehead: "Handle With Care."

54. Work to get rid of habits that annoy him.

55. Be kind and thoughtful to his relatives. Don't make him choose between you.

56. Don't compare his relatives with yours in a negative way.

57. Thank him for things he's done around the house. (It means a lot to men).

58. Don't expect credit for all you do for him. Do it as "unto the Lord."

59. Make sure he agrees with everything important that you're planning to do.

60. Do little things for him-let him sleep in, bring him coffee, etc.

61. Don't belittle his intelligence or be cynical in your words with him.

62. Initiate sex periodically. And respond more often.
