How can I show appreciation to my husband?

Showing your appreciation to your husband for who he is, what he has done, and what he continues to do is not hard. You can appreciate him by doing the following:

• Praise him

Your husband will be glad when you express your appreciation for his work. Say that you like what he has done and is continually doing.

The author wrote to Christians to encourage each other [ Hebrews 3:13 (NIV) ]. One way to encourage is to fill another’s heart with appreciation. Praise your husband verbally as often as possible. Praise him with words of appreciation, and he will be glad. Praise him in front of your children. Be proud of his efforts and deeds in the presence of your loved ones and friends. Doing so will make him happy and inspired to do more.

• Thank him

Your husband deserves to be thanked every time he does something good or exemplary. He needs to hear that you appreciate what he does or has done.

Solomon taught the Israelites that kind words are sweet [ Proverbs 16:24 (NIV) ]. And one way to be kind with words and show your appreciation for your husband is by thanking him. Thank him for what he has done or accomplished. Tell him how grateful you are for his attitude and work. Thank him from time to time and he will be glad.

• Send him a message

When you were still going out together, you must have exchanged messages with each other. Show him you appreciate him by doing the same thing.

Jesus taught his disciples that they should love one another [ John 13:34 (NIV) ]. Sending lovely messages to your husband is another way of showing your appreciation and love for him. Write a heartwarming card, note, or letter to him. Write with all your heart as you pen your appreciation.

• Doing special things for him

You may show your appreciation to him by letting him see and feel your love and care for him. You can cook his favorite meal, or you may dine in his favorite restaurant.

Peter wrote that Christians need to love one another more [ 1 Peter 4:8 (NIV) ]. Loving and appreciating your husband is doing things for him and serving him. You may give him a massage. You may volunteer to do one or some of his chores. You can also prepare his favorite beverage, like coffee or tea. Learn and do his love language or how he wants to be loved.

• Let him rest

One of the best ways you can show you appreciate your husband is to let him take a break. Give him some time to rest.

Jesus offered rest to the hearers [ Matthew 11:28 (NIV) ]. You should give the same to your beloved husband. Let him have time for himself. Give him time for relaxation. Let him have time for recreation and for doing what he loves to do, such as a hobby.

• Pray together

A great way to show your appreciation to your husband is for you to pray together with him. Come to God with one heart and one mind. 

Jesus said that the presence of God is with you when you and your husband pray together [ Matthew 18:19-20 (NIV) ]. Express your gratitude to God for the deeds of your husband. Let your husband hear your appreciation of him as you speak to God in prayer.

• Give a gift

One nice thing to do for your husband to show appreciation is to give him an unexpected gift. Paul had written that believers should give cheerfully and willingly [ 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV) ]. 

Give your husband something that he always wanted to have that may not be costly but thoughtful. Give him a gift that you are happy to give. Surprise him with a gift that he would be glad to receive from you.

• Spend time with him

Another way to show you appreciate your husband is by spending time with him. You may set aside a specific time for you and your husband to have a “couple time” together.

Paul wrote that Christians prioritize loving others [ Colossians 3:14 (NIV) ]. For couples, “love” means spending time together constantly. Spend time with him doing a thing that you both like to do together, such as cooking, exercising, watching a movie or video, and others.
