The Things We Do For Love

♥Faerie♥

I make dinner every day, always asking if he wants anything special.

No matter how bad a mood I'm in I don't take it out on him. I rub his back, rub his feet, pluck his eyebrows (without me he'd have a unibrow lol), and pick out his clothes on weekends.

I always give him the servings of dinner/breakfast that turn out better.

I make him little cards and notes and am always sure to tell him I love him every morning.

BUT
He makes sure to give me about 10 kisses every morning and tells me he loves me before leaving for work and won't go until I wake up enough to smile at him.

He refuses to go to sleep without cuddles.

He takes me out to dinner/breakfast when I'm having a bad week.

He always asks if I have a headache before turning on loud music in the car (we like our music loud but I oftentimes have migraines)

He squeezes my butt when I walk past and always holds my hand when we're out and about.

Jovi! You are awesome....that is all..

I do 99% of the cooking, cleaning, yard work, household repairs: plumbing, electrical, carpentry, painting, drywall, etc. I'm unemployed at the moment (bordering on slightly self-employed), so I feel it's only right that I pull my weight in other ways. I joke that I'm not a housewife... I'm the entire maintenance crew!

I also make his lunch, including peeling an orange for him because I know otherwise, he wouldn't eat it.

But I think he's most appreciative that I wear cute undies. :laugh:

I make his lunch every day, I always make sure he has clean underwear and matched socks in his dresser and his shirts are always turned right side out because he gets dressed in the dark and I'd hate to have him walking around inside out all day! I make sure on taekwondo nights we have something that won't upset his stomach while he's working out even though the rest of us don't have any issues with heartburn. I cut his hair super short (almost clean shaved) because he likes it that way (even though I'd prefer he wear it a little longer). I have hair down to my waist because he loves it long (even though I'd prefer mine short!) I try to give him 30 minutes of "down time" when he gets home where we're just letting him unwind from the day and zone out before I bombard him with whatever issue needs to be addressed. Well, except for yesterday when the neighbors had their pit bulls running loose and my kids were outside playing. He came home to me "all riled up" (as he put it) with my pistol on my hip. Of course he liked that part because he's a gun guy and his wife wearing jeans, a tank top and a handgun is better than any lingerie to him! lol (Please note this isn't to start a discussion about guns or pit bulls. We have personal experience with these dogs that is most unfavorable and while I love dogs and wouldn't want to hurt one if it's a choice between a dog and my kids, my kids will win! And I have had training so I'm not just some deranged lunatic. I'm a trained, deranged lunatic!)

LOL that is so cute about peeling the orange!! I usually throw in a fruit for hubby which sometimes remains untouched. I'm going to try and cut and peel them for him :happy:

Gawd I'm such a worm. I should tell him everyday, but I'm usually annoyed at the kids, and therefore annoyed at him for making me have them :laugh:

DH works 12 hr shifts, so on the day he works, I get up make his coffee/lunch/breakfast so he can be out the door as quickly as possible - regardless of whether or not I work that day or not. I have always done that. We were just talking the other day about how I have just always adapted to some of his crazy schedules and without grumbling /complaint and how that been one one the things that has helped us stay together for over 21 years.

Now that we are both working out. I love doing his routine with him, gives us time to tease one another and changes up my routine.

Every sunday when we are sitting in church I give him hand masages with lotion. He looks forward to it every sunday. I always make dinner, I give him massages, I wear sexy things for him, I bandage his wounds (he likes being taken care of lol) we have Husband spa day where I give him a manicure and pedicure. I snuggle with him when he has had a bad day he too likes it when I am the big spoon. lol

I buy him his favorite snacks and make sure he has things in the fridge for breakfast and lunch. I watch Basketball on tv with him even tho I HATE it! (any other sport I will gladly watch except basketball, the gangster tattoos and self riteous attitudes do me in)
I always tell him I love him a gazillion times a day. I always kiss him good bye in the mornings.

It is true what they say, by serving someone your love grows for them, The more I serve my husband and take care of him, the more I love him. Doing kind things to and for eachother is sooo important.

I had never thought about that, but I do that too! lol How funny.

I used to make his lunches, but it is hard to send something that doesn't get old. Sometimes the lunches would go uneaten. So I only make them on occassion now. I try to buy pop for him to take, and sometimes I will pick up a ready made salad.

I stay up late with him even though I am tired. The kids go to bed at 10( and I like to have alone time with him) and my husband is a night owl sometimes.

I offer to make his plate, and I usually pick it up to put it in the sink.

I try not to constantly read while in his presence. He would rather I watch tv with him. I feign interest in football. Luckily I do like hockey and basketball.

I set my alarm to go off 36 minutes before I need to get up and snuggle with my husband through 4 rounds of hitting the snooze button.

My girlfriend does the same thing lol

here are a few things i do for my girlfriend

I leave her random notes she finds around the house telling her i love her and how much i appreciate her.

I do goofy dances out of nowhere just to make her laugh.

I cook her dinner at least one night a week.

I make sure every morning i wake her up with a kiss and tell her i love her.

I'll sneak into the bathroom while she is showering and write nice things on the fogged up mirror.

I watch dumb girly tv shows with her and don't complain... well i don't complain much lol.

This may be a "nod & smile" kind of response.

Bump because I love reading about love...

12 years together, 10 years married. I cook and clean our house. I traded in my car and bought him a 2500HD red silverado for Mother's Day (LOL). I go for rides on his motorcycle sometimes even though it scares me to no end. I watch the kiddos so he can sleep in on his days off. I mow the lawn so he doesn't have. But he helped me get my MS degree, helped with labor and nursing the kiddos when I had trouble, he buys pretty jewlery sometimes and he cuddles A LOT.

I found BJs usally work (im talking about ben and jerrys really :huh: )
The day before his only day off I make sure to clean the house spotless so he can just relax and not worry about having to do anything

I try to always treat my wife as special. One thing I do is brunch on Sunday Mornings. I usually get up at 5am and hit the street by 5:45, for a 7 mile walk. Before I leave, I set the coffee pot up so all she has to do when she gets up is turn it on. It usually takes me 2 hours for my walk. She is just getting up. I bring the Sunday Paper in, pour her a cup of coffee and leave her to read it while I make brunch. I always try to make something special -- at least one new thing. This past weekend, I made Omelettes with Shrimp, Green Onions, Peppers, Parmesan and Guyere Cheeses. I also made a savory Sweet Potato Tart (the something new this week) and French Toast with a pear and strawberry reduction. I serve her and then we usually watch the morning news and plan our day together.

We are going to Palm springs this summer and she has asked me how close that is to Hollywood, so today I have been researching and planning an excursion from Palm Springs to include Rodeo Drive and Hollywood Walk of Fame and seeing the Hollywood sign. I don't get it either, but that's what she has asked about , so that's what I will try and surprise her with.

Can't think of anything I WOULDN'T do for the women I love -- including my daughters in there. Makes me happy when I make them happy.

I take his car for maintenance and cleaning.

When he was deployed, I'd go to the comic book store once a month, pick up all his comics and send them to him.

I run all his errands so he doesn't have to worry about it in the evenings or on the weekends.

If he's had a bad day, I cook his favorite meal (enchiladas) and make sure he has cold beers.

My kind of woman. (I'm talking about Been and Jerry's; really)

We will be married 14 years in August, and I still make sure he has a hot meal when he comes home everyday. I take extra time to make his favorite treats (even when I can't eat them). I wash his back in the tub, and we always, always say I love you before getting off the phone, or if one of us leaves the house. I also sit outside with him when he is doing some project or the other to keep him company (or help when I can!) And once he kicks his work boots off, I never ever ask him to go to the store!

ginagn73

I had 3 kids with him and went through 9 months each child of brutal pregnancies and brutal labours. Never mind how huge I got for him to! What else do i need to do for him?
