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 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.
