Sneak a card or note into his lunch, briefcase, coat.....wherever he will find it when he is away. Add a favorite treat along with it (but make sure it won't melt. lol!)
If he listens to the radio regularly, call the radio station that he listens to and make a request for a song to be played for him.
Light some candles, turn off the TV or any other distractions, lay down together ......and just talk...talk...talk about everything. Reminisce about things.
Sit under the stars together.
sign up to learn something new together.......take dance classes, exercise together, join a book club, a cooking class, even trying a new food. Commit to doing something -that is new to both of you-together at least once a week.
One thing that I would love to do with my family is research different places all over the world, then find recipes to make a meal and dessert from each place. This would be something to do once a week (or even once a month) if the two of you both like to cook.
Dh and I do the same things.. Us time. While he works during the day, I work on our business making up crafts, etc. cleaning house but quitting time for me is 2pm when I make dinner and have it ready for dh when he comes home. We spend a quiet evening having dinner and watching TV together or sometimes going outside in the yard. It's important to let your spouse know how important they are to you. We also talk to each other during dh's breaks, he'll call me on our cell phone and we each share what's happening in each others day.
Hope this helps.
Anna

Anna, How have things been going since you became a stay-at-home-crafter? Good. I hope!

Some great ideas here. I was just in hospital for 3 1/2 weeks and one day I rang dh and invited him to dinner the next night. Then I ordered a meal for him also, and we sat at the table in my room and ate dinner together. It was the best I could manage and dh appreciated that I had thought of him (even though he came in at least twice every day!!)

We have been married for 15 yrs. now, and I am out of creative ideas for our aniversary. I have done many of the suggestions that have been posted on a frequent basis, so any new special idea for a very tight budget would be great.
I am glad that hemlynne is doing well, and that was a good idea about dinner.

How about kidnapping him to a Bed and Breakfast?
If that is too much for the budget, how about a scavenger hunt with liitle gifts hidden for him?
Or.......a love basket picnic with his favorite foods?
Marriage is a huge comittment, one that has many ups and downs. Get support and advice here.
