Being Anti-feminist Isn’t Being Anti Woman.

How to Make Your Husband Feel Valued and Appreciated

Marriage is a beautiful partnership, and showing your husband how much he means to you strengthens your bond. Here are some thoughtful ways to make your husband feel loved and appreciated:

1. Speak Words of Affirmation

Compliment him often—whether it’s about his hard work, his character, or how much you love him. Simple phrases like, “I’m so proud of you” or “You make me feel so loved” go a long way.

2. Show Gratitude

Say “thank you” for the little things he does. Whether it’s fixing something around the house, being a great listener, or helping with chores, let him know you notice and appreciate it.

3. Plan Quality Time Together

Make time for intentional one-on-one moments. Whether it’s a date night, a walk, or just sitting and talking without distractions, giving him your undivided attention makes him feel prioritized.

4. Surprise Him with Acts of Service

Do something thoughtful that shows you care, like making his favorite meal, organizing something he’s been meaning to tackle, or leaving a note in his lunch.

5. Encourage His Dreams

Support his goals and aspirations. Whether it’s a career milestone or a personal hobby, show that you believe in him and cheer him on.

6. Pray for Him

There’s no greater gift than praying for your husband. Lift him up in prayer daily, asking God to guide, protect, and bless him. Let him know you’re praying for him—it will touch his heart deeply.

7. Be His Biggest Cheerleader

Celebrate his wins, no matter how big or small. Show enthusiasm for his achievements and let him know you’re his #1 fan.

8. Be Physically Affectionate

Never underestimate the power of touch. Hold his hand, give him hugs often, or leave a kiss on his cheek—these small gestures convey warmth and love.

9. Respect and Honor Him

Speak well of him to others, especially in public. Your words and actions should reflect how much you admire and respect him.

10. Write Him a Love Note

Leave a heartfelt note for him to find, expressing your love and appreciation. It’s a simple but meaningful way to make him feel cherished. 💗

Making your husband feel valued doesn’t have to be complicated. A little intentionality and thoughtfulness can go a long way in showing him how much he means to you 🌷

I want traditions. I want good china and cutlery that we only use on special occasions. I want to go on holiday twice a year. I want my hair and nails done once a month. I want to make you dinner every night and serve you first. I want an allowance. I want to ask permission for big purchases. I want to be the type of woman who says “I’ll have to ask my husband.” I want you to choose what I eat in restaurants. I want you to make the big decisions and I want to defer. I want to look after your every whim. I want to be your idea of perfection.

More importantly, I want you to want that too.

“birthing person” is a dehumanizing term.

“I cannot pretend prochoice vs. prolife is about women versus babies. It isn't. It is about society versus families.

Abortion doesn't save women. It doesn't stop or fix rape. It doesn't end poverty. It doesn't stop domestic violence. It doesn't do anything except undo women's healthy biology, kill her child, and send her right back to whatever circumstances she came from.

Sure, if she just doesn't want to be pregnant, it ends pregnancy. Why doesn't she want to be pregnant though? The replies are along the lines of, "Fuck you. It doesn't matter. It is her choice and right." Ok. Thank you for telling me you care about abortion, not women.

This is what is being offered as the savior for women? This is our freedom? This is our equality? This is the answer we are being offered for children living in poverty, abuse, or neglect? Just pre-emptively guess their fate and kill them? This is what we are being offered as a way to address maternal mortality? Don't attempt to make advancements that address complications that arise in pregnancy, just blame women's biology and kill her kid?

I do not accept that this is the best we can do for women, children, or families. I do not accept that to be free, equal, and safe women have to turn against their biology and their children.”

Wanting a man to provide for you doesn’t mean you’re incapable. Of course you’re capable. But it’s nice to have someone help you and take of you. That doesn’t mean you can’t do those things yourself. That just means someone loves you enough to make your life that bit easier <3

I want my kids to see how much their father and I love each other.

I want them to see us share random kisses in the kitchen. I want them to see how excited I am when he walks through the door. I want them to see us always holding hands in public. I want them to see us slow dancing in the kitchen in our pajamas late at night. I want them to know that no matter what, they will always have the stability of mom and dad loving each other. Even though in their young brains they'll think it's gross how affectionate we are, I hope they'll carry on those memories and use us as an example of madly loving your spouse no matter what.
