Remember when surprising your partner could involve something steamy or at least a cheeky text? (Laughs.) But since you keep telling your confidant how overwhelmed you feel, how about giving your husband a good dose of shock and humor? Here are five playful statements that will get his heart racing and remind him of your unpredictable side…
1. “We’re going to homeschool!”
While some people excel at homeschooling, you know that patience isn’t your strong suit. Instead, you have a quirky sense of humor. So, leave a stack of books on ancient civilizations and dinosaurs on the kitchen counter and announce that you’re quitting your job to start homeschooling the kids tomorrow. Get one of the kids to capture his priceless reaction on video as he tries to tactfully suggest this might not be the best idea.
2. “Ever thought about inviting your mother to stay with us?”
This question will make him wonder if you’ve lost your mind, found a new spiritual path, or are setting a trap. Then, follow it up with, “Oh wait, I remembered you and your mom would be at each other’s throats in less than a week.” He’ll relax, but that little thrill will linger throughout the day!
3. “I admit, I do go a bit overboard with spending!”
Create a meticulous budget in Excel, tracking every cent. Start brewing homemade lattes instead of hitting up the local café. Refuse to let him buy new socks and instead, get crafty with needle and thread (you might want to check where those supplies are sold first!). Mention that your birth control pills are a financial burden, so maybe it’s time to “see what happens” with a potential fourth child. Talk about adding some spontaneity!
4. “I had a chat with your boss’s wife about your workload.”
He’s always wanted you to connect with her, but you’ve consistently said no. Now, drop the bomb that you finally met up for coffee and shared your honest thoughts about how hard her husband works you. He might not find it funny right away, but the shock value will keep him entertained.
5. “My sister and I are spontaneously heading to Vegas for a week.”
He’s always suggesting you should relax a bit more. Tell him he was right, and off you go for a week—without worrying about childcare. You’re sure he can manage something for that work trip he has planned. He’ll get a good laugh once the initial panic subsides!
Remember, a little unpredictability can breathe life into a relationship! Use these fun ideas to add some excitement to your marriage, and though he might not thank you directly, he’ll appreciate the thrill.
