Fun Ideas to Help Encourage Husband???

I sometimes put little notes in my hubby's lunch or book. You could also start writing him love letter w/ a little twist. I know in todays world we get so wrapped up. My hubby loved my sexy love letter from me. I think he carries it in his wallet. lol I'll leave a candy in his car. Also who doesn't like massage- go buy some oils and find some relaxing music. If you have the money go buy a massage table. Just maybe hearing him out and just being there for him when he needs to vent. Also letting him have a day out for him and the boys. Encourage him to go out and play a sport.
Good Luck

My husband travels weekly and has a demanding job as well. He provides very well for us but he works very hard. I put little notes in the shirt bag, pinned to socks or undies so he can see them for certain. We have all the shirts drycleaned and folded so I just slip a note in the bag.

I've been know to send a few steamy emails (sometimes with a pic) to his private email. He always calls me when he gets those and says he can't wait to get home!!

Just support him and be his cheerleader and he will appreciate you too.

I know I've mentioned this before on here, but the one that really touched him was this: I took a few days to write out what or why I love him/am thankful for him. This could be any and everything including personality traits, sacrifices he's made, a cute butt, whatever. I wrote my list out on paper to make sure there weren't any duplicates, then cut some construction paper into little slips and wrote one "reason" on each slip of paper. I bought a couple bags of balloons and slipped the reason in the balloon. On a light day when he wasn't overly tired and the weather was good, I just went to his work and blew up all the balloons and stuffed his car with them (LOTS fit in an SUV!). I stopped in and gave him a card telling him that I was thankful for all he does for us, and enclosed a large knitting needle and said "use this to find more reasons why I love you". When he went to his car there were all these balloons to pop with the needle, and as each balloon popped, the reason jumped at him. He thought it was funny/silly at first, but it really touched him. He popped enough to drive home safely, then came in with tears in his eyes and brought me to the car to hand him the balloons as he popped them. He's kept them for a couple years, and I finally went and bought a little treasure box to put on his dresser with the "reasons" in it. He doesn't have to read them: just looking at the box brings back the feelings.
Sometimes just throwing an impromptu party is good too. Your son would have fun helping you make a big banner (the banner paper comes in rolls at Office Depot) that says something like "Surprise" or "Happy Saturday" or "We love you" or whatever. Use leftover hats and noise makers and have a silly family day where you celebrate him, do some of his favorite things that you wouldn't normally do (watch a DVD of 3 Stooges or some thing he loves from his childhood, or go to a game, whatever)and then when your son goes to bed you can have quiet time. Things like that go a long way. But what sustains men (and us) in between the "big stuff" is just knowing that we have someone there to vent to, to listen to us, and to be our friend, ya know?

I have mailed a card or letter to my husband's office or gone by and left one on his windshield. I think he likes the surprise of them more than the actual cards.

Dear J.,

I'm in the same boat. My husband is a financial advisor and works 24-7. He's not the romantic type, he doesn't like anything frufy as he calls it so I didn't know if this would work for him, but Wed was his B-day and I filled his car with ballons with love notes inside, and taped a card to his steering wheel then I took white shoe polish and wrote Happy Birthday on this windshields. He walked in and gave me a huge kiss right in front of the whole church and then took the family to eat at El Chico.

I never dreamed he'd react that way.
