You as the wife set the mood in your home. Make your husband's arrival at home something of significance. It's take so little effort from you, but does so much for him! It tells your husband that he was missed, that he's appreciated, and that he's important to you. A man's home is his safe haven...his castle...his domain. If he comes home to the ice princess or to the arctic zone of ZERO warmth...it quickly dispells his eagerness to get there. If he walks in to a home that is too busy to notice or care if he's there or not...he feels unnecessary.
When we walks in the door, make a point to greet him with a "Welcome home babe", or a hug, or a quick kiss...and let your children see it! Teach them that it's important to acknowledge the contribution dad makes. You're also teaching them to respect and honor him as the head of your household!
Want a bonus challenge...this welcome would NOT be one for your kids to see...;) but spice it up a little every once in a while, maybe during a particularly stressful time at work for him, or at the end of a week you know was especially trying for him, Welcome him home in just an apron perhaps? Get creative, you can come up with something special I'm sure but the most important take away is the daily greeting, the "welcome home special" is just a bonus! :)
