Sometimes, little gestures by your partner are enough to make your day!
A netizen recently asked, “Women, what can a guy do to make your day better instantly?”. Below, we’ve curated the top responses!
SCOOP BIG HUGS
“My husband just scoops me up on the biggest hug, and it melts everything away. I’m an anxious, emotional-basket, high-strung person. His hugs will stop the noise. They help me breathe and make me feel safe. It’s so little but so much.”
FOREHEAD KISSES
“A kiss on the forehead. All kisses are great, but there’s just something about a kiss on the forehead that makes you melt.”
MUTUAL GRATITUDE
“Compliment my efforts and contribution to the family even though it is unpaid labor. Honestly, mutual gratitude for trying to achieve the best for our family every day is a big part of why we are a happy couple.”
THOUGHTFUL COMPLIMENTS
“An actual, genuine, thoughtful compliment will make my day and week and year probably.”
SAYING GOOD MORNING AND GOOD NIGHT
“Saying, ‘Good morning’ or ‘Good night’. That affection of knowing that they woke up /were about to sleep and they thought about me and wished me a happy time. It’s so little yet so lovely. Though it might come off as creepy if you aren’t dating or flirting.”
PICTURES OF CUTE ANIMALS
“My husband knows I love animals, so If I’m having a rough day, he sends me cute animal videos and pictures to make me smile.”
THE LITTLE THINGS
“It’s the little things, honestly. A small sign of affection, like a kiss. Doing some chores without being prompted, like dishes. Buy me a puppy for my dream of having my chihuahua army.”
COMPANIONABLE SILENCE
“Companionable silence is so underrated. Just existing in the same space, doing your own thing. It’s pretty nice no matter who you are.”
FLOWER BOUQUETS
“Flower bouquets always make my day. Nothing crazy; any flowers at all make my heart so happy. Random hugs always make me feel nice, too. Compliments but only genuine compliments.”
VALIDATING EMOTIONS
“Validate my emotions, even if it seems silly. Don’t offer solutions unless I directly ask for them.”
POLITE TREATMENT
“Just treat me as an equally valuable human being. Not as potential partners, not as an object. Just like any human being. Be polite, don’t hit on me. Easy.”
A BIG SMILE
“Give me a big smile and a fist bump or hug, depending on how well I know them.”
MAKE ME SOME FOOD
“Make me some food. Anything, breakfast, a cake, dinner, a dessert, or grab me a drink without me having to ask.”
MAKE ME LAUGH
“Doing something to make me laugh. I was having a bad day at work, and one of my coworkers ended a team call with the most dramatic farewell. Complete with slowly sliding out of camera view until it was just his fingers waving goodbye. Made my entire day better.”
MAKE COFFEE FOR ME
“Make a pot of coffee. He doesn’t drink it, but it tastes better than mine!”
