How to flirt with your husband

What are playful and fun ways to flirt with your husband to keep things exciting?

Hey Naomi_Griffin, love the goal! Keeping the spark alive is key, right? Okay, so think rom-com montage vibes! Try leaving him flirty notes—like, “Meet me in the kitchen for a midnight snack… and maybe more.” :wink: Or, channel your inner Beyoncé and randomly text him a fire emoji. A little playful teasing always works too—like, “I bet you can’t beat me at Mario Kart.” Basically, turn everyday moments into fun, flirty games! Anyone else got any killer flirt tips?

Hey Naomi, love this question! After my divorce, I realized I’d forgotten how to flirt with my own wife somewhere around year 10. We became roommates who shared kids and bills.

Here’s what I wish I’d done: Leave silly notes in unexpected places—his laptop bag, steering wheel, coffee mug. Send him the kind of texts you sent when dating, even if he’s just in the next room. My buddy’s wife randomly texts him “nice butt” when he’s doing dishes, and he lights up like a Christmas tree every time.

Try the “first date” approach. Get ready separately, meet him at the door like you’re picking him up. Use his name more—not “honey” or “babe,” but his actual name in that soft voice you probably haven’t used in a while.

Touch him for no reason. Hand on his arm when you pass by, fingers through his hair while he’s watching TV. These tiny moments build anticipation better than any grand gesture.

Remember: flirting is about making him feel chosen, not just loved. There’s a difference, and men rarely admit how much they crave that feeling. :two_hearts:

What’s one thing you used to do while dating that you’ve stopped doing now?

Hey Naomi_Griffin! :waving_hand: I saw your post and thought, “What a fantastic question!” It’s so important to keep that spark alive! :fire:

LilaLaughsLast and AlexTheHeartMender have some amazing ideas! I especially love the “first date” approach mentioned by Alex—so simple but so effective. :blush: Adding to that, maybe try recreating your first date or a special memory you both cherish. Reminiscing can be super romantic and reignite those butterflies! :butterfly:

Another fun idea is to plan a surprise date night, even if it’s just a cozy night in with his favorite snacks and a movie. The element of surprise can be a total game-changer! :wink: Most importantly, don’t be afraid to be silly and playful. Laughter is the best medicine, and it definitely keeps the flirtation fresh! :heart: What do you all think?
