I don’t know if it’s just me but I’m always looking for different ways to make my man feel special.

Because he is.

I’m baffled at what to get my man for different holidays? Between birthdays, anniversaries, and other holidays, I can’t keep up.

And on top of that, when you have been with someone for quite a while, you start to run out of ideas.

My fiancé is also one of those guys who doesn’t ask for anything and material things are just not his thing. This makes getting him a gift 10x harder because I am left with nothing to go by.

If it was up to him, he would be satisfied with just spending the day with his family and being with being me and his daughter.

However, I want to make him feel special and appreciated for all that he does because he does do a lot for us.

Mother’s Day has a way of overshadowing Father’s Day which often leaves some fathers not receiving the same level of appreciation.

My fiancé became a father 19 months ago and has truly shined in fatherhood so he deserves to know that he is loved and respected within our household.

I have found some easy and thoughtful ideas that can be done to honor these wonderful men in our lives, so if you are looking for some easy ways to make your man feel special, then keep reading!

Make your man feel special

What Makes Your Man Feel Loved?

Before I get into those easy ways to make your man feel special, let’s address what makes your man feel loved?

How do I know if my man feels loved?

I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with love languages correct? If not, they are:

Well if I had to guess mine, it is probably acts of service. And the reason that I say that is because I am that person who doesn’t ask for help and bottles all my emotions up.

When my fiancé does something for me without me asking him to, it brings me so much joy.

And what I mean by does something for me, I’m talking about taking our daughter to the park for an hour or two so I can get some alone time or even washing the dishes or clothes.

It might be the stay-at-home mom in me, but those simple acts alone can really do something for me mentally and leave me feeling more refreshed.

But this isn’t about me.

If I had to guess my fiance’s, it is without a doubt, physical touch followed up by quality time. So when I am thinking of ways to make him feel loved and appreciated, I start with his love language.

Most of the ways that I describe below are based on what I think my fiancé would appreciate.

Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby from Growing Self Counseling and Coaching states that we should never assume what love means to others and that men crave romance and connection just as much as women do.

If you aren’t sure what makes your man feel respected and loved, then ask him.

We should definitely take the time to figure out what our partners enjoy and makes them the happiest because as the saying goes: “Happy Spouse, Happy House”

Easy Ways To Make Your Man Feel Special

Breakfast In Bed

Some people think that women are the only ones deserving of breakfast in bed, but our men do too.

I know I enjoy the feeling of getting treated, so I know that my fiancé would too.

Let him sleep in that morning and make your man his favorite meal in the morning and bring it to him in bed.

This is also a great idea that you can involve the kids in too. Have the kids help you in the kitchen to prepare and serve breakfast to daddy in bed.

Not only will the kids enjoy making this with you, but this will surely put a smile on daddy’s face.

Leave Him A Thoughtful Note

In this time that we all live in, it is easy to put up a thoughtful post on Facebook for everyone to see and show how much someone means to you.

I do this as well and I’m not going to say that you shouldn’t do that, but what about something more personal.

My fiancé wrote me a note years ago one morning while I was still sleeping simply letting me know he loved me and how much he was going to miss me while he was at work.

He wrote it knowing that I would see it when I woke up. And I still have that note to this today.

You can leave him a personal note letting him know how much you appreciate him and all that he does do.

Give Him A Massage

After you have served him breakfast in bed, treat him to a massage.

As a stay-at-home mom, the majority of my stress is from taking care of our home and our daughter which can often lead to mom burnout for me.

Well, men also experience burnout too.

My fiancé has the pressure of providing to ensure that we have a roof over our heads and food on our table. Which he does great at and takes a lot of pride in being a provider for our family.

Make your man feel special by treating him to an at-home massage to help relieve some of the pressure that he faces on a daily basis.

Wash His Car For Him

I bet you weren’t expecting me to say this.

Most outdoor chores are often reserved for men. But since we want to make him feel special, we are going to take one of his chores off of his plate.

You are more than welcome to cut the grass, but I know not all of my ladies are comfortable with a lawnmower, so car wash it is.

Gather your supplies and get to washing.

This is also another activity that you can include the kids in too. They will without a doubt enjoy playing in the water and your man will have a clean car by the end of it.

This is a win-win all around.

Give Him An Hour Of Alone Time

Alone time is a rarity when you have children.

My daughter follows me around all day that I barely have time to go to the bathroom by myself.

Like I mentioned above, I’m a SAHM so my only breaks are when my toddler is asleep or when my fiance is home to watch her while I get some time to myself.

Even though he technically gets a break from our daughter by being at work for the majority of the day, he is still at work.

And then he gets to come home after working all day to an energetic toddler who is ecstatic to see him.

Now, he loves our daughter and instantly shifts to dad mode when comes home because he can’t resist our daughter especially when she is smiling and saying “Daddy, hugs!”

But still, he may need a breather, too.

I know my fiancé can often tell when I’m having a bad “mom” day, so he will take our daughter off my hands for a little while to give me some me-time.

So return the favor.

Give him one hour of uninterrupted alone time while he is home and let him do whatever he wants to do as well.

Get/Cook His Favorite Meal

Can you really make your man feel special without making his favorite meal?

That is the first thing that everyone thinks to do, so I have to include it here.

I have already discussed serving breakfast in bed which is great for those mornings that he is off work, but on those days that he has been working all day, why not serve up his favorite meal?

If cooking is not your thing, then order his favorite meal from his favorite restaurant.

Take him to his favorite restaurant and have dinner there if you can. Food always puts a smile on my face, so I know it will do the same for him.

Plan A Night In

After you have had dinner, settle in for some quality time by engaging in some of his favorite activities.

We put a lot of pressure on men to make and set up date night plans, so we can take the pressure off by planning the evening ourselves

This can be watching movies, playing games, or even sipping on some wine together. You can even bake a cake or some cookies for dessert to finish off the evening.

It’s whatever you know that you both will enjoy and genuinely find nice.
