Ask your sweetie if there is one thing you can do or change that will make his life easier or better this year.

For me, it is staying on top of the dishes. Paul does most of the cooking and walking into a messy kitchen discourages him. If I do dishes after lunch (just a few bits usually) and after dinner (a more thorough clean) that takes care of it.

Now I’ll own that washing dishes is not the most exciting thing I do in my day, but it’s a practical need and it encourages my man. It’s worth the effort and self-discipline (plus I love waking up to a clean kitchen).

Do consider seriously taking up the challenge of meeting your husband’s one need/want this year. It’s a practical way of saying, “I love you.”

(If you don’t think you can do or do easily what your husband asks for, consider his “why,” “what,” “how,” and “when” and look for other options to meet the need of his one thing.)
