Love notes for your husband

Love notes for your husband don't have to be big. After years together, the notes that land are usually small thank-yous and reminders that you still notice him. These 23 start with everyday appreciation and work up to the romantic stuff.

Everyday appreciation notes

For the things he does that nobody thanks him for.

  1. Thank you for always filling up my car before I notice it's empty.

  2. I noticed you took the bins out in the rain. Hero behaviour.

  3. Thank you for being such a good dad. The kids are lucky. So am I.

  4. I love that you remember how I take my tea after all these years.

  5. You work so hard for us. I see it, even when I don't say it.

  6. Thanks for always being the calm one. I'd be lost without it.

  7. You make our house feel like home.

Romantic love notes for your husband

For reminding him he's still the one.

  1. I'd marry you again tomorrow. Maybe with a better DJ.

  2. Still get butterflies when you walk into a room. Don't let it go to your head.

  3. You're my best friend and the love of my life. I got really lucky with that combination.

  4. Every year I think I can't love you more, and every year you prove me wrong.

  5. I fall for you a little bit again every time you laugh with the kids.

  6. Date night soon? Just us, no phones, the good wine.

Encouraging notes for your husband

For a hard week at work or a big decision.

  1. Whatever you decide, I'm with you.

  2. You've carried a lot lately. Let me take some of it.

  3. I believe in you more than you believe in yourself, and that's saying something.

  4. Big day today. You're more ready than you think.

  5. It's okay to have a bad week. You're still my favourite person.

Playful notes for your husband

Because marriage should still be fun.

  1. Still the hottest man in this house. Yes, I'm counting the dog.

  2. Thinking about you. In a way I can't write on a note the kids might read.

  3. You, me, the sofa, a film neither of us will stay awake for. Tonight?

  4. Ten years in and you still can't load a dishwasher. Still love you.

  5. Come home early. I miss you.

Keeping love notes going in a long marriage

The hardest part of writing your husband love notes is keeping it up once life gets busy. Aim for small and often rather than rare and grand. One line a week does more than a long letter once a year.

Appreciation notes are underrated. Most husbands hear a lot about what needs doing and very little about what they already do well. A note that just says 'I noticed' goes a long way.

Questions

Common questions

What should I write in a love note to my husband?

Thank him for something specific he did this week, then add one line about how you feel about him. 'Thank you for handling the school run all week. I love you' is a complete love note.

How do I make my husband feel appreciated?

Notice the small, routine things he does and say so out loud or in writing. Specific appreciation, repeated often, matters more than a big gesture once a year.
