Proverbs 31 tells us that the heart of the virtuous woman’s husband could safely trust in her. Today we’re looking how important showing your husband appreciation and thanking your husband is for your marriage.
Being thankful for all the things he does each day to care for and provide for your family is important! I’m sharing 5 ways to show your husband appreciation below!
“The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her.” Proverbs 31:11
Thanking Your Husband
Are you thankful for your husband?
Your husband goes out each day and does his best to provide a home, food, clothing, and more for you and your family. Unfortunately, a lot women don’t really appreciate what their husbands do for them. Instead of showing your husband appreciation, do you find yourself focusing on the negative things he does or doesn’t do?
When you first met the man you eventually married, I would bet that you only saw the good stuff and brushed off the bad telling yourself that those things didn’t really matter anyway. We all do it. That’s why they say love is blind! But then, once marriage comes and the honeymoon wears off those negative irritants which seemed so small before become great big nuisances.
It’s time to reclaim the good and let go of the bad. Show how much you appreciate what he does do – even if you feel he could being doing more – by thanking your husband in different ways for being so good to you.
Being thankful is one way you can show your husband how much you appreciate him. Tell him thank you on a regular basis. Show your husband that you appreciate what he does by doing thoughtful things for him – offering to rub his back after a hard day at work, bringing him fresh lemonade when he’s out mowing the grass, or making his favorite meal.
Husband’s are not that hard to please. A clean house, well mannered children, some good food and a pleasant wife are really all it takes to show most men that you appreciate what he is doing and that you love him. Everyone wants to be appreciated. Being thankful and showing your husband appreciation is part of respecting him. Spoil him! He deserves it!

You might want to get a baby sitter or let it be a family affair. It’s also a sweet gesture to ask your husband what meals he’d like for you to include in your weekly menu plan!
#3 Say thank you. When he does something thoughtful be sure to let him know you appreciate it. But also remember to tell him thank you for doing those everyday things that often go unnoticed – like chopping wood, building a fire, taking out the trash, or even when he helps you in the kitchen. Thanking your husband isn’t hard, you just have to take a moment to say the words!
#4 Learn his love language. Whether he appreciates thoughtful words or needs physical touch to feel loved, learn about his love language and then practice loving him! You can read Gary Chapman’s book, The Five Love Languages to get started.
#5 Clean something meaningful to him. Whether that means detailing the car, having his old letter jacket dry cleaned, or polishing his model car collection, you can show your husband appreciation by caring for those things he cares about.
