Take about 15 minutes today and give your husband a facial! He works hard throughout the day: working at the computer screen, talking to people, hearing information, processing how to lead our families- so allow his eyes, mouth, nose, ears, and mind to relax at your fingertips. Massage his eyebrows and rub in a circular motion around his temples. Use your nails to gently comb your fingers through his hair. Pray for each of his senses while you caress him.
A nice scented oil or aromatherapy will also aid in the facial, if you don’t have one, try Aveda’s Blue Oil balancing concentrate. (this is a UK link, but also sold in the US)
show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. -Song of Solomon 2:14b
Thanks for reading!

I like the idea and the intent, I just don’t think my husband would ever go for it!
All of my suggestions are just to aid you in your creativity to encourage and uplift your husband. If you don’t think this will work, purpose to think on other ways you can bless him. Perhaps bring up this blogpost in a conversation with him and ask him how you could minister to him in a similar way. Every man is different, so it is expected that different men will like different things- but that is the beauty of it; you only have to figure out how to please your husband!
I’m certainly working on it! My entire blog is about thinking of ways to please my husband and be a better wife.
