My husband and I both work to keep the passion in our marriage. After six years, the fires have been burning even stronger lately. We love to try something new together, and I think that makes us feel even closer.
We love to give each other little gifts just for no reason. He’ll bring me flowers, a self portrait where he’s professing his love, or a slice of cheesecake. I like to hide love notes in his car or lunch bag, or maybe a lipstick note on his mirror.
Sticky notes are seriously like my best friend. I use them for everything. My most favorite use is leaving Nate little notes of love. I’ll put one on his steering wheel before work or a lipstick kiss on a sticky note over his sink in the bathroom — my little ways of showing him how much he means to me. Just the other day I made a big sticky note heart on the front of his car (so he’d see it as soon as he walked into the garage). Every little sticky note had a reason why I love him.
He does similar things for me. A few years ago, he gave me a hand-painted jar full of love notes. I savor them, and I still haven’t gotten completely to the bottom of the jar yet.
Your husband will love it if you do things like that. An unexpected love note brings back all those feelings like when you were first dating! Here’s a few quick little Love Note ideas to get you started:
- I’m so glad I fell in love with you.
- You are my soul mate.
- My skips a beat whenever I see you.
- I love you more than words.
- I want you to drown me in love.
- I’m so lucky to have you.
- You make my world sparkle.
- I love snuggling up to you.
- I love the way you kiss me.
- You are such an amazing husband.
- You are my best friend.
- Your kisses make me melt.
- I love our life together.
- I need you because I love you.
- I don’t know what I’d do without you.
- I love your enthusiasm.
- I love to listen to you play the guitar.
- I love how silly you are.
- You make me feel safe.
- You make me smile.
- I love spending time with you.
- I love when you read to me in the rain.
- I love getting lost with you.
- I love trying new things with you.
- Crazy about you!
- You have the key to my heart.
- Love you forever.
- You are my favorite person ever.
Another way I love to surprise him with love notes is to hide a card or two in secret places like a book he’s currently reading, in his lunch, or even in his sock drawer. I love to keep a couple of romantic greeting cards on hand to surprise him when he’s not expecting it.
When I use the greeting cards, I’ll write a letter inside. Sometimes they’re long and sometimes just short and sweet. If you’re wanting to write your husband a love letter start with a favorite memory when you first started dating or maybe all the things you love about him. Once you get that ink flowing, you’ll feel inspired!
With three kids, it can be hard to find time for intimacy, so sometimes I plan a date night to a hotel. We grab some take out and spend a few hours getting to know each other again. When those special date nights roll around, we are both super excited.
This is when I love to send him some sweet little enticing text messages while he’s at work. It definitely ups the anticipation for date night for both of us. Nate is also very good at responding and sending me texts that will make me blush.
Need some text message ideas? Here are 15 Flirty Fun Texts that will get your husband’s attention! Be sure to send one when he least expects it.
- Don’t tire yourself out too much today.
- I can’t wait to be in your arms again.
- There’s something I’d much rather be doing today….You
- I’ve been thinking about you all day
- I want you right now.
- I can’t wait for you to get home.
- Just thinking about last night and…you
- Got a surprise for after the kids go to sleep. Let’s move up their bedtime tonight!
- You are on my to-do-list today.
- How many hours until I get to see you again?
- I woke up happy today, and it’s all your fault.
- Can’t wait to kiss you later.
- I love being together. Miss you!
- Have a great day at work – I’m counting the hours til you get home.
- I hope you’re thinking about kissing me as much as I am thinking about kissing you.
Trying something new can bring you closer and bring your relationship to a whole new level!

We make date night an important in our relationship! It is important to spend time together and to do things as well together that aren’t business or work related. I love your sticky note ideas what a great way to randomly find notes.
What sweet ways to keep the fire burning! My husband and I love sending notes to each other. This is our way of communicating when things get too busy. I have to get that KY Love for our next date night.
How cute are these ideas. I’m sure he reaaaaallly likes the text message that you send. lol It’s so great that you’re actively taking interest in keeping your relationship from getting boring. Wife of the year!
I love leaving notes for my honey. I leave them in his lunch box or on his mirror in his truck. I haven’t done it as much lately. Thank you for reminding me that I can never be too busy to show a little love.
These are such cute ideas. I like leaving notes in unexpected places, especially if I am leaving town for a day or two. I think it is important to have these constant reminders of each other.
I do 2 different kinds of love notes with my sweetie. First, I have the sweet and sentimental ones that usually include ‘I love you.’ Most recently, I used a packet of liquid paint markers that I was reviewing to leave a bold statement on the bathroom mirror. Secondly, I print out humorous celebrities and gag photos of him (his head on another body) and leave funny inside-joke messages with them.
I’ve been looking for ways to get the romance back into our relationship. These love notes are a great idea. We use to do things like that when we were dating but since we had kids things changed.
I love doing small things like that for my boyfriend as well. It really keeps the spark going! Your posts honestly gave me a lot of nice ideas. I particular like the post-it heart on the car.

I’m 76 and hubby is 83 and it’s very difficult for him if I ever leave for even short day trips. All our life together I’ve always left love notes everywhere I knew he would access at home for when I was away at business. Now, I need to leave for two nights and I’m writing many of your good ideas here t o post around the house and car and garage until I return. I’d forgotten how he enjoyed them and know it will help him again until I get back home. Thank you
Oh my, I just love this! I hope I will still be able to leave my husband love notes when we are in our 70s and 80s.
Wow, that’s a great post with excellent example of text messages. Flirty messages are very important to add spice in a relationship and also to make bond stronger between couples. Men like it when women try to be flirty with them. Even though most men don’t show it, such flirty texts from their loved ones will make them smile and he will instantly start missing you.
It’s such a sweet idea to surprise your spouse with love notes! It’s a simple gesture that can really make a difference in a relationship.

It’s a great way to remind your spouse that you’re thinking of them and that they are loved. Thanks for sharing this idea with us!
