Five Ways to Spoil Your Husband During the Pandemic

This pandemic has been a time that has caused most people to feel stress like never before. These situations can take a toll on any relationship, but especially your marriage. I can say that my husband and I have been at odds over some of the most unnecessary topics. I find myself often getting quiet to avoid arguments that, normally, would not even warrant an extended conversation. So ladies, what can we do to combat this behavior? I personally have come up with a list of ways to spoil him from time to time.

The special treatment is needed more often now because a different type of familiarity has set in. Your marriage is different when you are away from each other periodically. After being hard at work, you are usually ready for some rest, relaxation, and loving when you return home. Now imagine the situation that you may be in after seeing each other for more than 1 to 2 weeks straight. Exactly, you get tired of looking at the same person and scenery, repeatedly. Even if you did walk down the aisle and take vows until death do you part. Everyone needs a break from time to time.

There is just something about being able to predict what a person is going to say and do. This begins to wear both of you down until you are at your last wit’s end. Growing tired of the same old song and dance pushed me to brainstorm some ideas that would set a different atmosphere in my household. I came to the realization that we do not have to leave the house for the mood to be changed. If you can, it is best to get rid of the kids so that you can have some alone time for two. Here are some ideas that will re-light the fire in your romantic life.

1. Buy a romantic love game and have game night for just the two of you. It is always fun when you can unwind and release tension with a little competitive behavior. The intensity will begin to grow and cause sparks to fly in other areas outside of your board game or deck of cards. Before you know it, you will have forgotten all about the argument that you had earlier over Johnny’s basketball schedule. Even if you are not a game person, give it a try to see where the night leads after the dice rolling is over.

2. Catch your husband off guard and greet him at the door in your sexy nightgown. This is an amazing idea because he will be so mesmerized. He will come home expecting the same old behavior, but he will melt in your arms when he sees that the rules of engagement have changed for a night. You can cook him a fancy dinner or order in. Either way he is sure to want to skip dessert and get right to you before the night is over.

3. Hire a chef to come into your home to cook and serve the two of you. I got this idea from one of my best friends. An amazing 3 or 4 course meal is sure to surprise him and allow him to show you major appreciation for the kind gesture. It can be his favorite meal or something that both of you have never tried before. After the chef has gone away, the two of you can play cat and mouse for the rest of the day! This is a sure winner with a little wine and dinner music.

4. Have someone come into your home to host a painting party just for two. This is another great idea from one of my best friends. It is so different and relaxing that you will forget all about the daily issues between you two. Let your paint brushes create beautiful art and then you all can become the canvas after dark.

5. A simply beautiful dinner cooked by you and conversation will always be the way to your man’s heart. Every man wants his lady to cook and serve him occasionally. A nice grilled steak, potato, and salad or whatever his favorite meal is will always be one sure way to his heart. Let him know that you love him more now than the day you said your vows so many years ago. He will definitely be ready to show you how much he appreciates you after dinner has ended, if you make it that far.

These are just some simple suggestions for my ladies who have found out that the struggle does exist, from time to time, in a marriage. It is never easy work. You must be mindful of your partner and be willing to step outside of your comfort zone in many cases. Sometimes different can be fun. Stepping out of character for a while can be like taking a trip to a foreign country. You will not have had the experience before and trying new things is always a much needed journey. Leave comments and let me know what ideas you have come up with for your mate so that we all can benefit from different suggestions.
