Hi i would be very interested to see a pic of the man bouquet please? The image is a broken link from my side
Amber says
I’ve done pretty much all of these things and he doesn’t even act like he cares not to mention he doesn’t do anything like the. Im still curious about the man bouquet, since the image doesn’t work a description could be useful.
Mike says
If you really have done all those things and he hasn’t shown any sign that he was appreciative, then its time to consider moving on. I would love it if my gfriend did any one of those things … especially number 5. wow. -a guy
Sarah says
I seriously feel like I just went back in time to the 1950’s. This is so sad…
Tiffanie says
It’s not the same because in that time it was expected and men didn’t do things for women , there was no give and take. There is nothing wrong with showing someone you love that they matter and are appreciated, whether it be a romantic or platonic relationship.
Christina says
I don’t understand why it is sad to show someone you love them?
Sandra says
Agreed! Iron his shirt? Really?
Kelli Key says
If your Hotel has amenities, have something special sent to the room for him.

What a heartwarming collection of ideas to show love and appreciation! I especially appreciated how these suggestions go beyond grand gestures and focus on those small, meaningful moments that truly matter in a relationship.
While reading through the list, I couldn’t help but chuckle at the fun suggestions like surprising him with donuts or playing video games together. And maybe, just between us, I’m totally taking note of the ‘come to bed in your birthday suit’ tip – because sometimes a little lingerie can speak volumes more than words! 😉
The article is a beautiful reminder that love is about consistent, thoughtful actions. Thank you for sharing such a delightful and practical guide to keeping the spark alive! 💕
