7 Coupons Your Husband Will Enjoy Any Time of Year

Wives, if you read this article to completion and exercise the wisdom I'm about to share, your husband will at least say, "thank you!" I want to provide you with a few ideas for coupons your husband can redeem any time of year for his pleasure (and perhaps yours as well). They're not things to embarrass you or anything like that, but they're ways you can show him you love him that he'll actually understand. Oftentimes both husbands and wives attempt to show their spouse love in a way that is understandable to the giver of the gift and not the recipient. This can easily lead to misunderstandings, conversations, inquiries, and the like.

With that said, here are seven ways you can make your husband's day... or days... with these coupons that you can provide for him:

Coupon #1 - A coupon redeemable for one day of not mentioning anything that is needed regarding anyone or anything in the household.

There are times when a man comes home from work, and his family greets him, and then he is greeted by a list of the things that need fixing, replacing, replenishing... and oftentimes when he is home all he wants to do is watch television. So with this coupon, the idea is to give him a day (a complete day) where nothing will be mentioned about things that are "needed." Most times men can deal with the wants, those are harmless, but the needs can be constant reminders that something isn't done... which leads to thoughts of more work... and for some more stress. So wives... give your husbands a day off and let him know how much you love him by not mentioning the things that the household needs. Be sure not to bombard him the minute the coupon ends, either.

Coupon #2 - A coupon redeemable for enjoying one day of having the house all to yourself.

Occasionally a man needs alone time. Some time to just be a boy again, or at least a man without responsibilities. Let him have 24 hours of just peace and quiet, or 24 hours of games and movies and whatever he feels like eating. He may surprise you and get more things done around the house that you've secretly wanted him to do! Sometimes the best productive moments are the ones that are unforced. When we've had time to just relax, there are those moments we want to do things... but if that moment never comes this coupon should cover a day's worth of that.

Coupon #3 - A coupon redeemable for one day of answering questions simply by saying "yes" or "no" or "I don't know" or "maybe" without further explanation.

These are valid answers to most questions, ladies. Explanation and expounding is not always necessary. Direct answers can be good. Let your husband have a day where if you ask him something, this can be an acceptable answer. Resist the urge to fight the simple answers for this one; I know it may be hard, but remember it's only for a day.

Coupon #4 - A coupon redeemable for a date planned entirely by you based on his desires.

Use your creativity for this one. The advantage to this is that you two get to spend some quality time together; the disadvantage is that you may not like everywhere he chooses for that date. Remember, this date is about him and doing things he likes. That may mean a football game on Sunday, or a bar and grill instead of the fancy restaurant. It's a date for him. You're taking him out. If you pay for it, that's an added bonus. If not, just let him know, or give him a cap on spending.

Coupon #5 - A coupon redeemable for a day of you wearing outfits picked entirely by him.

This could be anything or nothing, literally. It's his choice. At any time he could change his mind and ask you to change your wardrobe. He might even pull out some outfits he's been envisioning you in. Will you want to get him after this day, perhaps, but it's the coupon you allowed him to redeem. It'll make the coupon more feasible if you actually go along with it cheerfully. If you're grumbling and complaining then there's little fun in it for him. Be a good sport about it. If there is something you absolute won't wear, or not wear, then explicitly state that on the coupon in advance, otherwise anything goes... on or off.

Coupon #6 - A coupon redeemable for him to have his favorite breakfast, lunch, and dinner, whatever that may be.

Beware, this could be fast food! It could also be a seven-course meal like the one you prepared last Thanksgiving. Just be ready for whatever he pulls out. If you know his favorite meals you can prepare them in advance and catch him offguard.

Coupon #7 - A coupon redeemable for three of his top fantasies to be fulfilled... within reason.

These don't have to be sexual fantasies, although they're fair game for this coupon. Oftentimes, that fantasy is to be able to swing in the batting cages with the professionals. It may be to be a part of a shootaround with professional basketball players. The goal is to do the best you can with the resources you have. Maybe you have him give you a list of ten things that are feasible, and some that are way out there, and see what you can work out. They may not be very taxing or hard to do at all. Then pick a day and surprise him with fantasy come to life.
