What are the things you have done for the supportive men in your life? I could make a huge list, but I will try and keep it short. I do what I can around the house, as he works FT over 70 miles from the home. I try and keep house things together, so thats something he doesn't need to worry about once he gets home. I am still thinking up something special to do for him since its been abit. Suggestions? And what have you done for your man lately. :)

When my children were young, I was able to stay home with them until they were in school, this was very very important to me, mostly because my childhood (not enough room here for that ! :)). Because I was so greatful to have a husband that worked so hard for us, so that I could stay home with the kids. I adopted a 'what kind of wife would I want to see when I got home from a hard day?' And how could I make him 'want' to come 'running' home to us. So I would try every day before he got home to put on a little makeup, comb my hair, change the shirt with spit up on it. Of course have dinner ready, etc. I did everything I could (work/chore wise, I even mowed the yard, although he protested for years), so he wouldn't have to do it when he got home. In other words I spoiled him rotten! ha

I tried to make sure to tell him at least every week (and still do), how much I appreciate him, am proud of the man he is, and to be his wife, etc. I think men need to feel respected by their 'woman' and in their home almost more than they need to feel love, and women need to feel loved more, (we both need both of course but you get my point). I don't know but we've been married 30 years this Dec. And it has worked for us, he has always bragged on me to his friends that constantly complain about their whiney, nagging wives, that dump everything on them the minute they come thru the door.


After I went back to work many many years ago, (and still work), now, when I get home he has most of the laundry done, always runs the sweeper, empties dishwasher, etc, and generally has my supper ready! And yes, he still works too, but nights, and I work days.

So to answer your question, (took me long enough huh?) I am still thinking up something special to do for him since its been abit. Suggestions? I think the most special thing you can do for him is show him every day how much you appreciate him, and all he does to support his family and how proud you are to be his wife.:D

Ha! I am still looking for that supportive man in my life, so far they have all been flops and since the age of 18, there have only been three: my children's father, someone I was involved with but not married for about 15 years, and now a new one that I'm not sure where that is going. He is good to my children, all adults now, as I am good to his girl (she is about 10), who knows maybe one day I will find the "real love" but right now I am content with having my life on track. :)
