Ladies what are you doing for your sweetheart this Valentine's Day? I admit that my hubby is a pretty low maintenance type guy and what makes him happy is a quiet evening and a steak. This year Valentine's Day lands on Sunday and I know what my husband is going to want. It just so happens that there is a NASCAR race Sunday and he is going to want to watch. He won't say anything and if I want to go out for lunch after church he will.
So this year, with the pinch of finances most of us are feeling. I was wondering what we can do for our man folks that wouldn't cost us any money but show them how much we love them.
Time is something that we can give to our men. I'm not talking about the fixing dinner, yelling at the kids, and cruising the internet with him in the room, nodding as he scans the TV telling you about his drive home. Long ago in our marriage we were trained that the first 30 minutes when Ron gets home we spend them talking. Doing nothing else and giving our full attention to each other. We usually use this time to determine what is going to happen the rest of the evening. The important thing is we connect. Also ladies give your man a big old kiss when he gets home. Touch is an important element for a man.
Words of love and kindness. I don't have to tell you ladies about a man's fragile ego. Even thought they seem big and strong on the outside nothing can hurt a man more then his partner in life not supporting him with words of love and encouragement. We need to build our men up they have the rest of the world breathing down their necks ready to tear them apart. Make sure to tell him that you love him thanking him for the things he does instead of pointing out all his short comings.
A woman's attitude is very important; you have heard the saying if momma isn't happy nobody is. Think what a happy upbeat attitude would do for the man in your life. If you sent him off to work with a hug, kiss and a smile telling him to have a good day. Most men would float through the day with a smile on their face eager to head home back to you at the end of the day.
Show respect for your man weather it be in front of your mother or your children or any one else. We need to be careful with the things we say to others about our men as well as to our men. Respect can also be shown in our actions towards them, when they are talking turn towards them, engage them in conversation and treat them as another adult if nothing else.
Touch is so important to a man's psyche. For most men their love language is touch. A kiss, hug, a back rub, touching their hand as they walk by all of these things signals to a man of your care.
So, this Valentine's Day if you would like to give your man something that is much more important then a card and some chocolate think about the above gifts that you can give him and spend absolutely no money. Of course making sure he gets his steak dinner will make sure you are his favorite Valentine.
