hey guys, here is a question for you all.
Mu husband is a good husband and a better dad. About 2 years ago he turned his life around. he was in a horrible rock band that almost took his life and our marriage and our kids. He is now one of the most upstanding men I have ever met. i didnt think it could ever happen.. anyhow. he has always had a good job that pays very well and managed to keep it despite the dui's and restraining orders etc... and has taken on a second Job that is close to his work. He does it for our family to catch up and have things we wouldnt have before.. he gets the kids to school by 8:30 then goes to work and gets home around 10 pm and does more on the weekend. he never complains and is always in a good mood. then he does things for us that i ahve no idea where the energy comes from! I work part time. This is what I wouldd like to know.. What can i do for him to make him know i appreciate him. He knows I do but on the weekends and such... I wash his clothes and make dinner.. I dont want sexual answers. but what so men consider to be something special from their girl? i make dinner and such, but he brings me flowers..... maybe he doesnt want anything but the feeling that God has given him a second chance.. He stays up and reads his bible when he gets home from work, he is on Worship Team for our church... I feel like there is nothing left for me to give.. any ideas? Not a weekend alone or anything like that, we have young kids and that out of the question... thanks.

How about a letter from the heart telling how much you love him and the changes he has made in his life?

How about a ticket to a worship team conference or some such? You've touched on an area your church may be able to help with to some extent... providing couples an evening out by watching numerous kids voluntarily for the couple?

Wow, this sounds like a one in a million type of guy. Have you thought of telling him how much you appreciate everythign you just said on here. I would appreciate hearing this post if I was the guy. But that is because my love language is words of encouragement. What is his love language? Have you heard of that book? This really isn't a gimmick but different people appreciate different expressions of love to different degrees. The lady I work with loves gifts but words of encouragements do not mean as much. I am the opposite. Here is a link to a quiz that may help as well as the book

It's just my suggestion.

Smiles, hugs, encouragement, kind words, special meals a woman who works hard and who takes good care of herself.

I agree with willfs, find out his love language and feed that bank.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies! I like all the ideas, all of them. I like the one about a ticket to a worship conference... if I find one around here, I just may do that. I have heard of the 5 love langueages but never really though much into it. i should probably get a copy and see what all the fuss is about. I'm sure I could stand some lessons on men!! yeah he really is a good guy, I never thought I'd see the day!
