50 Sweet & Simple Text Messages for Your Husband
Oh, my poor husband.
We all know communication is key in a marriage. And I like to think we’re pretty decent at it. But most of the text messages for my husband are from a harried, stressed-out wife.
Plus, he often hears more from me when we’re hashing out the business of being mom and dad.
Can you relate?
A look at my texts shows lots of messages like this…
- “Where did you put the charger?!” (I can never find that dang thing!)
- “We need to ___________ (fill in the blank with 100 different parental responsibilities).”
- “Can you schedule that?”
- “Your son is showing a lot of attitude lately.”
- “When should I make dinner around our night activities?”
These aren’t awe-inspiring texts to always get from your wife.

How Can I Make This Better?
Text messages can be a fantastic way to connect and keep your relationship spark strong. And who doesn’t want to make their partner smile?
The problem is that on a day-to-day basis, it’s hard to remember. So, I’ve put together positive texts to send. And even some ways to ask more about his day.
The Right Ones For You
But first, I’ll be honest.
I find a lot of stuff towards husbands to be cheesy.
We’ve been married for 15 years and have 3 kiddos. So, the crazy romance doesn’t make an everyday appearance anymore.
If I text him “you take my breath away” or “I’ve thought of you every second of today” he’s going to wonder what’s wrong with me.
But maybe you like the more romantic language, and that’s ok! If you do, add them in too!
