How sweet!
Here are six ways to show gratitude and affection for your hardworking husband! 

•	Make his favorite dinner, then pack leftovers for his lunch tomorrow. 

Everyone loves a good home-cooked meal, especially when there’s enough for another round! Take time to prepare his favorite foods for dinner, then pack them up to have a second time at work the next day. 

If cooking isn’t your forte, or if your husband’s favorite meal isn’t something that’s made at home, then buy it instead. Split the food at home into a lunch container for tonight and tomorrow. 

•	Give him a relaxing massage to help him sleep.

There’s nothing like being rubbed and relaxed until you doze off. Tell him to lie on his stomach and give him a head-to-toe rubdown that soothes his senses with scented lotions, like lavender or eucalyptus. 

•	Invest in things that will help him unwind and relax after a long day of work. 

Your husband has his favorite things that help him relax after a workday, so keep those stocked for when he comes home. For instance, his favorite after-work snacks and drinks could be signs of care and appreciation! 

Another great investment for a hardworking husband is an ottoman. When he gets home and takes off his work boots, give him a comfy space where he can put his feet up and watch some television before bedtime. 

•	Leave sweet notes of appreciation and love in his lunchbox. 

Words matter. Show your husband that you care and appreciate all he does with surprise love notes in his lunchbox. They are fun to find and will give him a boost of romantic feelings for you! 

•	Plan a day that’s all about him! 

What does your husband love to do? Bowling? Movies? Drinking good beer with good friends at the best bar in town? Treat him to his faves! Take him on a date for a whole day and include all of the things that he loves to do. 

When you two get home, let him dictate how the night goes. You can spend more time together or go your separate ways to focus on other hobbies and interests. 
 
•	Always kiss him hello, goodbye, and goodnight! 

Touch and physical affection will always be the best go-to methods for showing your husband how much you care. 

When he comes home, kiss him to convey that you are happy to see him. Before he leaves for work, kiss him to wish him a good, safe workday. Before you go to sleep at night, kiss him to remind him that you love and cherish him. These are attentive gestures that remind him of your bond as a devoted married couple.<|im_end|>
