My husband works so hard for our family and I just love him so much. We have been together of over seven years and each and everyday, he gets up, makes coffee, gets our son his breakfast and in the morning routine…and he even irons my clothes for the day (when he does his!). Life in the morning couldn’t get any better and it becomes so routine that I sometimes forget to reflect on how amazing he is.

We have found that romantic surprises don’t have to be big, but the simple thought behind them can mean a whole lot and have a great impact! Read: How to be best friends with your husband
