He probably won’t even notice. That’s OK – you’ll know that you wore something just for him.
Maybe it’s a shirt he’s given you a compliment on, or the necklace he got for your birthday.
What’s his favorite color? If you have a shirt in that color, that could be your project for the day. Revel in the fact that you’re the only one who knows you’re doing this just for him.
Prayer for Today
Dear God, I pray my husband knows he’s special to me in every way – that he is worth the extra effort.

Is your husband a sports fan? Maybe the sexiest thing you could wear is a t-shirt with his team’s logo on it.
Your Project:
Wear something just for him. You can go buy something, or pick an item you already own. He doesn’t need to know what you’re doing – you know and that’ll change a little something inside of you.

Today, you’ll be coming along side your husband to get the job done.
It could be as simple as taking out the garbage, cooking dinner, or washing his car. Offering to do a job with your man is a great way to get the job done, and have some fun along the way.
Prayer for Today
Dear God, let my husband feel he has a partner in me. May he be blessed and supported by me everyday.
Getting Creative
Make it fun and get “his” work done so you can both play.
- Does he enjoy cooking? Maybe he’d appreciate a prep cook for the day. Let him perform his sauté magic while you chop, clean and do whatever it is that will let him release the Rocco within.
- If he’s one of those clean car freaks (we don’t have any at our house, but I‘ve heard they do exist) use your Handyvac skills to clean the inside while he works on the outside.
- Would he rather work alone? Get him a cold drink or a hot chocolate to let him know you’re grateful for the things he does.
Your Project:
Help him with one of his regular jobs or thank him for what he already does.

It’s food again, but this time it’s all about setting.
Maybe it’s doing a tailgater at a football game, or going to his favorite coffee shop and reading the paper with him on a Saturday morning. Donuts in bed? Whatever would be fun for him is the plan for the day.
We have a fire pit on our back patio. While our kids like to do s’mores over an open flame, we are more about cheese and fruit next to the fire.
Prayer for Today
Dear God, teach me to create places of celebration – no matter how small – in my home and for my husband.
Getting Creative
No need to get super fancy here. If he simply enjoys popcorn in front of the TV, that’s OK. Remember, just for this one little project, it’s all about him. Some other ideas?
If he enjoys being outside, how about dinner in the back yard? I have a friend who doesn’t have patio furniture, so she actually drags her wooden breakfast table and chairs outside. It’s not about resources, it’s about creativity.
One thing our family has done on several occasions, especially when the kids were little, was to have a carpet picnic. Spread out some quilts, watch a movie and enjoy the great indoors. (This would be a great night not to serve soup.)
For a more grownup encounter, how about a shower or bath with chocolates…
Your Project:
Make it food and make the location fun. Really, that’s all it is.

Just a reminder, ladies…each week there’s a Bonus Project, to be completed at the time of your choice within the next seven days.
How’s your lingerie wardrobe? Was the last teddy you bought a week before your wedding?
One night this week: Wear something sexy to sleep in. It doesn’t need to be one of Victoria’s sweet nothings. Perhaps just a silky nightshirt or a lacy camisole; the goal is to dump the Nike t-shirt you normally sport.
It’s your job to make sure that sleep is not all that happens in your pretty new nighty.
Make the extra effort to feel great about yourself – you know that some of that mood will rub off on your husband.
Prayer for Today
Dear God, sometimes I see sex as a burden instead of the gift it is for our marriage. Please help me feel confident in the area of our sex life.
