The best way to show your husband or boyfriend that you love him is to get creative. Make him feel special, without having to ever say it. Love is a complex emotion that can be shown in a wide variety of ways. Whether or not you and your partner have already exchanged those three little words with each other, there are plenty of ways you can show him how you feel without having to say a thing.
# Show him you love him by making his favorite dishIncorporating your partner’s favorite meal or dessert into your weekly menu is a great way to show him that you love him because you know what he likes. It also shows that you want to make him happy, especially if his favorite meal isn’t something you would normally make.
# Create a playlist with him in mindCouples often have songs that remind them of their partner, so creating a playlist of songs that make you think of him is a really fun way to show that you love him. This also works great in a long distance relationship because you can send to him daily to let him know you are thinking of him. Introducing him to new bands and songs that you can enjoy together is always a great way to bond, too.
# Surprise him with a “throwback” dateDo you remember the first date your husband took you on? Plan the exact same date! Doing so is a creative way to show him that you love him because it will spark the excitement that the two of you felt at the beginning of your relationship. You could also recreate the date where the two of you said “I love you” for the first time, or even the date he took you on when he asked you to be his wife.
# Take him on a surprise adventurePlan an adventure for the two of you and don’t give him any details! This doesn’t have to be an elaborate plan, either. Pick a place that the two of you can drive to easily for a long weekend and only give him hints for what to pack, rather than where you are going or what you’re going to do when you get there. Your adventure can have a bunch of fun activities, or you can pick a place the two of you can just relax and spend time together as husband and wife.
# Take him to do something he’s always wanted to do but hasn’tA creative way to show your man that you love him is to help him tick items off his bucket list. Maybe he’s talked about going skydiving, or going to see the grand canyon. You can be the one to help him do those things! Experiencing those things together will bring you closer together and show him that you’re willing to try new things with him.
# Show him you love him by leaving a love note somewhere he will find itWriting a short but sweet love note and leaving it somewhere he will find it, a creative way for a wife to show her husband how much she loves and appreciates him. It doesn’t need to be super sappy - a simple “have a great day at work, I love you” will do. Hide it in his briefcase for him to find at work or stick it on the bathroom mirror for him to see when he brushes his teeth.
# Give him a card deck that states all the reasons you love himAnyone that’s perused Pinterest for gift ideas has probably seen the card deck turned into a book filled with 52 reasons you love him and it’s definitely a fun and creative gift to give your partner. Simply punch holes in the upper corner of the card deck and attach them with a binder ring or even a piece of twine and use a Sharpie to write down 52 reasons you love your partner.
# Get creative with kissesAnother great Pinterest gift to show your love is to fill a jar with Hershey’s kisses and write a note that says, “kisses for when I’m not around” somewhere on the jar. It is a silly and fun way to get your guy to smile and every time he reaches into the jar, he will think of you.
# Plan a weekend trip for him and his friendsBeing secure in your relationship means that you can express your love for one another by not actually spending time together. Coordinate a weekend trip for him and a few friends to go see a band they love or get him tickets to go visit his friend who lives in a different city. Planning a weekend away for him shows you not only love him, but that you trust him.
# Write him a love letterExpand on your love note with a full blown love letter. Getting a handwritten letter from you will show that you are willing to put the effort into your relationship so he knows that you care for him. Write about the things that you love about him, you’re favorite memory of him, or even how you appreciate the things that he does for you.
# Take a task off his list of choresWe all tend to have a honey-do list for our significant others to complete whether it be mowing the lawn or cleaning out the garage. Show your partner you love them by completing a task off his list. It doesn't need to be one of the bigger projects but it will definitely make his life a little easier and free up some time for him to do something he enjoys.
# Surprise him with something he’s wanted forever but hasn’t bought himselfIf there is something he’s talked about wanting for a long time, but hasn’t actually bought for himself because it’s too expensive or impractical, consider buying it and surprising him with it. It can sometimes be difficult to justify spending money on something such as a new expensive watch, when the old one works just fine, but surprising him with it will only make him appreciate it even more.
