13 Wonderful Ways To Cheer Up Your Husband When He Feels Blue

Life is unpredictable and often quite stressful. Life can feel hard and unpleasant at times and when we are feeling down, we need the support of our partner and their unconditional love to get through things and flourish. Being supported by a partner is such a great gift. However, seeing them in similar distress can be very tough. And it hurts even more when you can’t even take them out of pain and discomfort. But there are several techniques and things you can do to get your husband back to his happy place. In this article, we’ll share some suggestions for lifting your husband’s spirits when he’s having a bad day.

1. Compliment Him 

Compliments are a great way to make someone feel better and can help someone feel uplifted when they’re down. Giving an honest compliment will make your husband feel seen and appreciated and he’s sure to value a surprise compliment from you.

2. Go Nostalgic

Give your husband a reason to smile by reminding him of some of his favourite moments in life. Surprise him with a handmade painting of your wedding day to remind him of that happy and special moment and your love for him. You can also go an extra mile and recreate the entire moment by reciting your vows, your first date, or just simply talking about those moments. 

3. Take A Stroll With Him

When he’s stressed, suggest going for a walk together since it’s a really effective way to relieve pain and stress. Your partner will feel more connected to you and in tune with his own health when he’s away from places that have affected his mental peace. Also, he will feel relaxed and stress-free when you hold his hands and walk with him. 

4. Give Him A Tight Hug

Warm hugs are magical. You can instantly soothe your partner’s pain with a long and tight hug. He will feel relaxed and protected every time you give him a big hug when he returns home from the office. As psychologists suggest, a long and tight hug for at least 20 seconds can alleviate stress instantly. 

5. Talk To Him

Communication is the key aspect of a relationship. The way you communicate determines your interest and love for the other person. When your husband is feeling low and depressed, the best thing you can do is talk, since nobody wants to abandon their confidant. Talking to him will let him vent his thoughts and concerns, which will certainly alleviate his pain.

6. Go On A Long Drive

Going on a long drive will help your husband in several ways. Firstly, he’ll get a break from people and work that disturb his mental health. Secondly, he’ll be able to find his best version. Also, a long drive can feel refreshing and calming if done on a nice scenic route.

7. Cook Him Delicious Food

“The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” You can easily lift your husband’s spirits with his favorite meal or snacks. Whether he’s had nasty arguments with his brother or having issues with his manager at work, a selection of favourite snacks or his favourite meal would instantly boost his mood. What counts in the end is your effort and the gesture. 

8. Plan A Weekend Getaway

Planning a weekend getaway can help your husband battle temporary mood swings and depression. Whether he likes a beachfront resort or a cottage in the hills, take it into your hands to plan the best weekend getaway for him and you to enjoy together.  

9. Take A Day Off to Spend Together

Make yourself available to your husband when he needs you. If it’s possible, take a day off and spend time with him. Give it your best shot to understand his life’s issues and accept if he chooses to deal with stress alone. We all deal with things in different ways but it’s important to be available to your partner if he wants to talk things through. 

10. Sing A Song For Him

Music can be very comforting and, if you have a good singing voice, you can sing a calming and beautiful song to your husband to help soothe him and make him feel more relaxed and comforted. Perform it live or record it for him on his phone.

11. Tag Him On Memes

An amusing way to bring a smile to your husband’s face is to tag him in memes. When he returns to his desk from a tiresome meeting, he’ll be delighted to see himself in a meme since you always tag him in romantic posts. You can also send him funny video clips or existing memes that you know will make him smile or laugh.

12. Run His Errands

When you can see that your husband’s life is getting to hectic, take some pressure off his shoulders by helping him with some errands or other things on his to-do list. A great way to cheer up your husband is to offer some help in finishing their most important pending jobs. 

13. Surprise Him With A New Plant

Most couples spend some time apart – when working or even living in different places. If your husband works out of the home, give him a gift that he can enjoy at work and that will be a nice reminder of you. An eco-friendly gift that offers several mental health benefits would be a potted plant. A plant can help calm his mood and reduce stress levels as well as remind him how important self-care is.

Final Note

Life is full of ups and downs and this can cause us to feel stressed or low. To get through tough times, we need support from the people we love. If your husband is feeling down, make sure you show him your constant love and support. The above ways are some great ideas to be there for your partner and to make him understand how much his happiness matters to you.
