7 Days of Loving Your Husband Well

Day 1: Initiate Sex

Day 2: Admire Him Out Loud

It takes more than sex to make a healthy marriage, but it’s impossible to have a healthy marriage without it. Even if you and your spouse aren’t in a good place right now and the idea of intimacy feels unappealing, do it anyway. Sex is a powerful force that will help you reconnect on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.

Challenge: Give your husband your body.

Do this: Send a loving or flirty text during the day to remind him you desire him.

Why it matters: Even when the relationship feels strained, intimacy is a powerful force to rebuild connection.

1Corithains 7:3 “Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband."

Day 3: Reassure Him of Your Desire and Loyalty

Challenge: Express sincere admiration for your husband.

Action:

• Compliment his character or work ethic.

• Tell him something he did that makes you proud.

• Do it sincerely, without joking or sarcasm.

Why it matters:
Men rarely hear affirmation. When they do, it strengthens their confidence and heart.

Challenge: Recognize the pressures he carries without minimizing them.

Action:
Say something like:

• “I know you carry a lot.”

• “Thank you for holding things together.”

• “I see how hard you’re trying.”

Why it matters:
Many husbands feel invisible in their sacrifices. Recognition shows you see and value their effort.

Day 5: Thank Him for Being Your Husband

Challenge: Affirm his identity, not just his efforts.

Action:
Say:

• “Thank you for being my husband.”

• “I don’t take you for granted.”

Why it matters:
This reinforces his role in your life and strengthens relational bonds.

Day 4: Acknowledge His Burdens

Challenge: Reaffirm your attraction and commitment.

Action:
Say something like:

• “I choose you.”

• “I’m still attracted to you.”

• “I’m on your team.”

Why it matters:
Desire and loyalty provide emotional security and reassurance.

Day 7: Apologize When Needed

Day 6: Tell Him He’s Enough

Challenge: Affirm his worth and value.

Action:
Say:

• “You’re enough for me.”

• “I’m grateful God gave me you.”

Why it matters:
Many husbands quietly fear they’ll never measure up. Assurance builds confidence and intimacy.

Challenge: Recognize recurring behaviors and repair any friction.

Action:
Say:

“If I’ve done anything to hurt you or haven’t listened well, I’m sorry. I really want us to work together and hear each other out.”

Why it matters:
Apologies restore trust and demonstrate humility, paving the way for deeper connection.
