Snotty Noses Happy Parents Raising Healthy Kids by Dr Orlena Kerek, Paediatrician

The alarm buzzes, the threads of sleep fade as I become aware of my surroundings. Warm and snuggly in my soft duvet. I squint my eyes into focus and find a welcome cup of steaming coffee waiting by the side of the bed. Every single morning my husband makes me coffee. He knows that I love him, but how often do I actually tell my husband that I love him.

It’s not that I don’t do things for him. Of course I do. We make a great team. We divide the work and child care. We’re both there to help each other and do things for each other.

It’s just I often take him for granted. I often forget to say thank you. I do say thank you. It rolls off the tongue like a trained dog. I mean, I don’t say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

What about not just saying thank you. I hardly ever do special things for him to tell him he is appreciated, that I love him. It’s so easy to let life get in the way, to carry on the train of mundane living.

I need to find time to tell my husband that I love him.

I need to remember to tell him that I love him.

I need to tell him that I am grateful for him.

Simple Ways to Tell Your Husband that you Love Him.

1. Make him coffee (or his favourite drink). I feel a little strange just writing it. This will be a monumental effort for me.
2. Let him have a lie in.
3. Make a special breakfast.
4. Write a little note.
5. Send him a loving text message.
6. Do one of his chores for him.
7. Give him a cuddle and a kiss.
8. Go on a date night (or day).
9. Help him to get some “him time”.
10. Compliment him.
11. Just say it. “I love you, thank you for being my partner.”

Oh, I almost forgot! I think I may have left one off. I’ll leave that one up to your imagination!
