7 Meaningful Touches Your Husband is Waiting For
I don’t often post articles for women; however, this article was initially published and syndicated to hundreds of outlets worldwide.
It’s easy to let distance creep into a marriage—maybe because of his rough edges or guarded emotions. But now’s the perfect time to bridge that gap. Your touch can soften his heart and remind him how much he means to you. Here are seven meaningful ways to reach for your husband, plus a bonus that could transform his day.
1. Acknowledge His Efforts
When he’s working around the house, bring him a cold drink. It’s a simple gesture that says, “I see you.” That small touch of gratitude will inspire him to keep going—and do even more.
2. Surprise Him with Words
Slip a handwritten note into his briefcase or onto his truck’s console. He’ll carry your words with him, thinking of you all day. It’ll pull him through his work and straight back to you.
3. Humble Him with Care
Yes, it might make you squirm, but try massaging his feet. It’s messy, humbling, and downright biblical—an act of love that says more than words ever could.
4. Gift His Passion
Skip the flowers. Get him a ticket to his favorite game instead. It’s a thoughtful touch that shows you know what lights him up.
5. Take the Lead
Save some energy for him and initiate intimacy. Don’t always leave the pursuit to him—your move will speak volumes.
6. Show Him Off
Reach for his hand at random—on the couch, on a walk, or at a restaurant. A public display of affection from you isn’t just sweet; it’s a bold sign of respect that stands out in today’s world.
7. Ease His Burden
Rub his shoulders. Men carry stress in their neck and back, and your touch can melt it away, lightening the load he bears.
Bonus Touch: Bless Him Silently
As he pulls out of the driveway, stand at the window. Lift your hands and quietly speak blessings over him—gratitude for who he is, prayers for his work. He may never see it, but God will, and your touch will ripple through his day.
Your husband needs you. Reach for him. One touch can change everything.
