The Little Things Matter the Most

Jessica • Wife, Mother, & Working Mom

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how much my husband means to me and how the things that I love the most about him are in the small interactions we have.

• Whenever I’m feeling down (or if we’re just being extra goofy) we have a weird laughing contest where we both laugh as ridiculously as we can until one of us can’t do it anymore. It never fails to make me happy. Even our daughters join in sometimes. It’s hilarious. 🤷🏻‍♀️

• My husband and I have several nights a week where we just lay on the couch with all of our bedding (we have a huge couch) and we binge Netflix shows or watch movies. If we aren’t in the mood to watch something we play board games. We do this very often and it’s an amazing way to stay connected. ☺️

• We will send each other messages in a secret conversation on Facebook Messenger pretending we aren’t married and flirting with each other and talking dirty to each other. Afterwards we always have AMAZING sex! 😝

• We have a secret handshake. He begged me for so long to make a secret handshake with him and I finally gave in. We randomly do it all the time and it always puts the biggest smile on his face. (PS men are children sometimes.) 😂

• He constantly surprises me with gas station candy, soda, wine, my favorite foods, movie rentals, etc. Those tiny gifts from him always brighten up my day. It’s so nice to know he’s thinking of me. ❤️

What are some of the sweet or silly things that you do in your relationship that you just REALLY appreciate and love?
