He fed the baby and let me sleep a few minutes more.
He made the coffee so I could shower.
He did the dishes so I could help our eldest with her homework.
He took my out for lunch, just because.
He did some laundry, so I could clean the bathroom
He picked up our daughter from school, because it would the only time they would spend together that day
He did the grocery shopping because I couldn't find the time that week
He is my hubby. He is my friend. He is the glue that holds our family together.
How would you say thank you to such partner?

I fear the United Association for the Advancement of the Wife's Issues is going to be coming to your door with tear gas. Can't have you praising your husband. Nope! Gotta keep looking for something else that needs doing so you can complain they never do anything. Sorry, it's the only way. The UAAWI insists.
Seriously, I think it is nice you can say such positive things about your spouse. Appreciating the assistance of your spouse is a healthy thing for the marriage, I believe.

Wow! This is just so beautiful, you sure should try your hand at poetry! Yeah, its rare to have such a husband as most guys will agree. Let me tell you such a man will want from you: you should appreciate big time every time he does something that makes you feel good - which happens to be everything! I mean really appreciate.
Never ever get used to him doing it and have this 'its-what-he-always-does' attitude, I do not know his character but you never know how he might take it.
Try and go out of your way to do things for him which he doesn't expect - which aren't many i agree. Find things which he does and which he thinks its his duty and do them.
Throw him little surprises at every opportunity. Like write a small love not (or love poem) and place it in his shoes. Use his neck-tie to make a heart (love) and put it on top of the briefcase he carries to work every day. Place love notes in the pockets of his trousers and jackets. Go out and buy love cards and mail them to him at the local post office, to be delivered at his work place. There are so many ways of saying it, be creative.
Above all thank God for him and pray for your family. Find time for him and tell him how much you love him.

Appreciation is also the first thing that came to my mind as I read the discussion. A good thing to give is a compliment to people like that. In that way, he will continue doing it and knows that what he does is appreciated.

You are very lucky to have found such a great man. You could take him lunch at work. you could give him a massage after the kiddo's go to bed(who knows where that will lead hehe). There are so many little things you could do to show him how much you appreciate his help and nothing needs to be extravagant. It really is the little things that matter.

Hold that man each and every day and praise him up and down and let him know how much you appreciate him. Shower him back with all the love and respect that he shows you because he deserves it and it will keep your love alive. You are a very lucky lady and he too is lucky to have a wife that notices and appreciates his efforts.

Sounds like a keeper to me! Where do I sign up? *LOL* Mine will pull his weight when things get overwhelming when they aren't on his days off he's on the couch... *sigh*
Hmmm..... just cute lil notes tucked into his pockets? Maybe buy him his fav treat? Make his favorite meal? Bring him lunch @ work? Do something for him that he's been meaning to do but hasn't yet done.... like I have tons of pics (darn digital cameras, seeing everything before they are printed & endless memory) I'd so love if he developed a some for me so I can put them in albums before I forget what they were even about ;)

You're truly blessed to have a wonderful hubby like him.. i guess the best way to say thank you is to show how much you love him( write him sweet notes, prepare sumptuous meal(his all time favorite food), give him nice massage, etc)... i'm blessed to have a fantastic partner in life too.. he's always been there to support me, he never fails to make me smile/laugh, he pays for our rent, he gives me surprises and many many more.. space isn't enough to write them all down.. i couldn't ask for more..

Well, Just letting him know everyday that you love him and appreciate him and maybe leave little notes in his pockets or briefcase that say I love you..or I am glad your mine. or just thanks for being there for me. He does what he does because he loves you and you got lucky on finding one who does things for you like that. He is a Keeper..maybe even that in a note would be good.

You are truly blessed to have this kind of husband. Not many out there from what I hear.
From my perspective your answer would be very simple. Walk up to him with a big smile, give him a big hug, and tell him just how wonderful you think he is. And that glue that holds the family together? Don't you dare leave that out. He will love it.
If he does all these things there is no doubt how he feels about his family. You and your children are everything to him.

That is wonderful. I have a great husband like that too. I think he knows how much you love and respect him. I would thank him by having a nice dinner together with candles lit or take him out if you can.
