50 Ways To Be A More Romantic Husband
Ranked #78 in Relationships & Family, #11,712 overall
Are you a romantic husband?
There really are some very simple ways to become a more romantic husband. If you have never considered yourself a very romantic man or perhaps romance has just gotten set to the sidelines over the years, then it may be time to fine tune your courting skills, and get yourself on track.
The fine art of romance is actually quite an easy skill to develop. By simply displaying and using techniques of thoughtfulness toward your love interest you can effectively create any number of romantic scenarios.
Being romantic to your love interest can hold many rewards for you too. The wonderful rebound effect of romance is a beneficial side effect that both partners get to enjoy.
Say I love you
The first ten steps to becoming a more romantic husband.
1. When you wake in the morning tell her that you love her and also let this phrase be the last words that you say to her before you close your eyes at night.
Don't just say I love you once every now and then but instead use this phrase as a greeting each time you pass by your wife. Sure, she might think that you have gone a little crackers, but she will appreciate hearing what is in your heart.
2. Phone her from work just to say I love you.
3. Compliment her at least once every day.
4. Be a good listener. Women are communicators, but men often forget this, so be sure to keep communication flowing between the two of you. Encourage her to talk about her day. Confide your feelings to her and discuss issues that concern you. Make sure that some time each day is spent just keeping in touch with your partner.
5. Respect your partners accomplishments. Compliment her on her achievements and encourage her to follow her dreams. When you are a true friend to your partner then your role as lovers will just naturally blend in to the relationship.
6. Kiss her good-bye when you are leaving the house and kiss her again when you come back home.
7. Hold her hand when you are walking together or just sitting on the couch watching television together. Touch without sexual implication is very important in a relationship. Let her know that you simply enjoy being close to her.
8. After you finish supper in the evening help to clear the dishes from the table. Never just get up from the table, head to the television, and leave the entire clean up for her. Helping out in the home is one of the most romantic things that a husband can do.
9. Purchase an apron and be sure to put it on to help with a few of the household chores. A man doing housework is actually a very romantic image. There is nothing more attractive than a man doing dishes.
10. A tired stressed out wife is not going to feel as romantic toward you as a relaxed and well rested one will. Pamper her with a meal at a restaurant at least once every couple weeks. If you have kids then spend time with them so she has time for herself. Let her have the opportunity to just soak in the tub, or put her feet up, and relax for a couple hours with a nice hot cup of tea.
A soothing spa experience...
There are many little gestures that are just so wonderfully romantic.
11. Give her the gift of a spa experience. You can purchase her a gift certificate to a local spa, or you can give her a gift of aromatherapy candles, bath pearls, and scented bath salts, so she can enjoy a relaxing spa experience at home.
12. Tokens of your love are very romantic and will let her know that you are thinking of her. Leave little love notes for her to find. You can paste them on the fridge or bathroom mirror. You can pop them into her jewelery box, leave them on her dresser, or even set them inside the kitchen cupboards.
13. Set a little chocolate heart on her pillow so she discovers it when she crawls into bed.
14. Be a gentleman to the lady in your life, chivalry is important, and it is definitely romantic. Don't forget to open doors for her, hold her coat to help her into it, and to patiently wait for her when she is a little late. She will notice and appreciate these small romantic gestures.
15. Tell her she is beautiful.
16. Buy her an ice cream cone.
17. Park at a viewpoint with her.
18. When you are planning activities to do together, be sure to not just do the things that you want to, be sure to include her interests in also.
19. Take up a physical fitness activity which you both can participate in. Spend time together working toward a common fitness goal. Set aside time to walk, bike, swim, dance, or golf together.
20. Go green, and do something kind for the environment, plant a tree together.
Candle light can be very romantic...
Pamper her, and don't just presume that she knows that you love her, take the time to show her that you love her.....
21. Surprise her with a little present every now and then.
22. Take the time to dress up just for her. Dress in something extra nice, put on some cologne, and spend some time with the one that you love.
23. You do not need a reason to give her flowers, so surprise her, and bring some home with you. Flowers are one of those romantic mushy gushy traditions that just shouts out "I love you".
24. Take her out on a real date. It doesn't have to be an expensive date. You can go out for supper, to a dance, the park, a concert, or just out for coffee. Just make sure that you take her out.
25. Go dancing every now and then.
26. Be nice to her friends and relatives. They are as much a part of her world as your friends and relatives are yours.
27. Hug her.
28. Do something for your community, and as a team, volunteer at a local charity event together.
29. Read the paper together, or a book, so that later you will be able to discuss it with each other.
30. Purchase your wife a card just to thank her for being there with you. A house can be a very lonely place when it isn't a home and you have to live there alone.
Put on a romantic love song and dance her around the living room...
A gold heart locket...
Let her know that you love her...
31. Make a list of all your important anniversaries. Don't forget her birthday. If a date is special to her, then it should be special to you too, so treat it as such.
32. Take her out to a movie. Buy her a popcorn while you are there.
33. Never degrade or criticize her. Compliment her on her positive attributes and ignore any negative ones. This is the woman that you plan on being with till you are well into your eighties, or nineties, so you can imagine what the pair of you are going to look and act like then. Appreciate today.
34. When purchasing gifts for her discover what her favorite fragrance is, what her favorite food is, her favorite hobbies, and her favorite enjoyments. Then use these ideas to theme your gift choice with. Never buy her kitchen gadgets or other such household items as gifts. Those items should be purchased in the same context as the household groceries.
35. Every now and then surprise her with a mini vacation. Take a trip to a nearby town for lunch, tour a local historic site, or book a night at a local hotel.
36. Listen to her when she needs to talk to you.
37. Take the time to give her a relaxing foot massage.
38. Do a goofy little strip tease dance for her.
39. Cook her a romantic candle light dinner.
40. Let her go out with her friends. Time apart from each other is important to the health of a relationship too.
A little pampering soothes the soul...
Courting your lady is very romantic...
41. Take her out to the lake, build a bonfire together, and roast hotdogs and marshmallows together in the twilight.
42. Sit out on the lawn in the evening and watch the stars together.
43. Bring her breakfast in bed.
44. Send flowers to her workplace.
45. Send her a love letter or card through the post. E-mail her one.
46. Offer her your coat when she is cold, or take her hand, and put it in your pocket to keep it warm.
47. Do something a little crazy every now and then. Throw your coat over a puddle for her, take her shopping for a new dress, or dress up like a clown and chase her around the house.
48. Take her back to visit the place where she grew up.
49. Propose to her again.
50. Renew your vows. Remember how special it felt the first time you married her. Promise to love her forever.
It takes less than a minute to say I love you yet it is one of the most romantic things which you can do in a marriage.
It is really not difficult to be romantic. It just takes a little creativity, a little thoughtfulness, and a little time spent showing the person you love that you really do care for them.
Say I love you with flowers & candy...
Have you done something romantic lately?
Say I love you with something sweet...
Drop by my other logs, blogs and opinionated ramblings at:
- Why women love being seduced by men
- Since virtually the dawn of time courtship, flirtation, and seduction are the tools that man has used in his quest to find a mate. Man figured out pretty early in the dating game that bonking his lady fair over the head with a club was not the best way to insure that his love interest would return his affections. So he devised a better plan...
- Teaching Him To Reduce Reuse And Recycle
- This is the point in my little life where it takes a wee bit of a strange twist ..... into my existence comes the love of my life... my rock... my all encompassing source of strength.... my man. He is a compliment to myself and to my life in all ways except for one ........ he knows nothing of recycling. Eeeeeeeeeeek!

Because you love me

Because you believe in us, work for us, and trust in us, I love you.
It is your desire to be in love that has held us together, and for that I will be eternally grateful to you, for I now could not imagine my world without you in it.
It is because you love me that I love you.....Because You Love Me.
Is True Love Accidental or Predestined?
It infects your mind, and your heart, and you haven't a clue why or how it happens. It just does. It's love, and how lovers find each other in this big wide world is as mysterious as the emotion itself is.
Perhaps a magnetic or physical attraction draws you to your mate....Is True Love Accidental or Predestined?
Love is so very important....
Is Love Over Rated?
Love is that mushy gushy stuff that makes your heart sometimes feel like it is being twisted into the shape of a pretzel. It is being accepted for who you are, and being accepting of the other persons faults, and insecurities.
Love is very giving. It is a deep rooted caring for another person that is so strong that it makes you wish that you had the ability to heal every hurt that they might feel. You want so badly to make them smile when they are sad, and yet sometimes this same love is filled with anger....Is Love Over Rated?
Love Junkies

Love junkie is a term which is unfortunately becoming more common place in today's modern world. A love junkie is someone who gets off on the emotional high that comes along with being in love.
They are so addicted to the blissful sensations associated with new love that they are never able to maintain a long term relationship. As soon as a relationship's intense emotions begin to wane then the love junkie moves on.....Love Junkies.
How To Overcome Loneliness...

Most people will feel lonely at some point in their life. Loneliness occurs because we desire a close emotional bond with other living beings, and when we feel that we do not have this connection, then we feel lonely.
Loneliness happens for many reasons. It can occur when someone relocates to a new city, completes their schooling, retires, separates or divorces from their significant other, or loses their pet or spouse to death.
It is also possible for a person to feel alone even when they are with a spouse or surrounded by many other people.....How to overcome loneliness.
Do you have a little romance floating around your lifestyle?

- As a husband who married his high school sweetheart over 35 years ago and whose love and appreciation for his wife is still growing, two thoughts came to mind as I read your excellent list:
(1) It is a crying shame that husbands fail to say and do the things you've listed. Love is all about putting the needs and desires of others ahead of your own, so observant husbands who truly love their wives should not even need lists like these.
Husband, if you love your wife, then open your mind and heart to the things that help her and bring her joy. This list is a fabulous resource to get you started, but your eyes, ears, and feelings are more powerful tools for your love arsenal.
(2) Wife, it is sad but true that you cannot force your husband to simply be kind on your terms. Hopefully, he will pay attention to the things that annoy you and those that bring you joy, and then focus on the latter. If he doesn't, harassing him about it will likely have the opposite effect of what you're hoping for.
Husbands, love your wives...

- Know this, O worthy and diligent lensmaster;
With accomplishment you’ve earned a tryster.
As a token of immense appreciation expressed,
A squid angel leaves this lens heartily blessed.
On a rendering that is sparkling in its own right,
Propagating an appealing thought well and quite;
If you were to notice a slender shimmering crust;
From the angel’s wand, it is a spill of stardust.

- All husbands are incorrigibly romantic I guess;
some express it, some don’t.
All wives read their husband’s every thought;
some accept it; some won’t!
Great lens!

- It's third time lucky, but I am extremely lucky to have found my soulmate. A soulmate is someone who you don't believe might exist until you meet them, and we are so happy together, even though times have been hard for us. We both try to look after each other, and doing chores is not so much of a chore when you do it to help your partner. Great ideas and nicely put together, I left a well deserved blessing behind.

Let Your Endorphins Out To Play
When you participate in pleasurable activities like smiling, laughing, exercising or playing, your brain does an amazing thing and releases a little chemical message known as an endorphin.
These endorphins are feel good messages that have the power to actually remove physical and emotional pain. They travel down the spine, and then throughout your body, sending a feeling of well being as they go. These endorphins not only have the ability to relieve pain but they also have the power to make you feel happy.
