Each year, on Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and other special holidays dedicated to celebrating the significant women in our lives, florists worldwide experience a boom in sales. In fact, statistics show that these two holidays, combined with Christmas, make up roughly one-third of annual profits for florists across the United States. It’s lovely to remind people that you care about them, and it’s especially important during occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and the holidays mentioned above. But what would be so wrong with buying your wife flowers just because? Not because a special day marked on the calendar tells you to, but simply because you want to?
The truth is that one of the most overlooked traits in a relationship (that really turns women on) is the ability of their spouse to make them feel special and appreciated. Most women don’t want to be put on a pedestal by any means; however, they do find it irresistibly romantic and amazing when the man in their life finds impromptu reasons to do little things—like buying her flowers—that make her feel loved, for no real (or forced) reason. Don’t misunderstand; you should definitely have flowers on those monumental days throughout the year (or at least something to recognize her), but why not find other times to show her that you think the world of her? The best part is, you might be surprised how far this simple gesture can go in your relationship and how buying your wife flowers—just because—can improve the overall connection between the two of you.
Why Surprise Her With Flowers?
Of course, if you’re not used to surprising your wife for no real reason, be warned that the first time you buy her flowers, she may be a little suspicious, wondering what indiscretion you’ve made that you’re trying to make up for. This just goes to show that she isn’t accustomed to you being thoughtful for no reason, and that perhaps you have more to offer the relationship than you might think.
So, why should you buy your wife flowers? Check out this list of seven reasons, and realize that if your wife isn’t an arborist or is allergic to flowers, there are hundreds of other small token gifts you could give, like handwritten notes, a favorite candy bar, or even the latest edition of her favorite magazine.
- To make her feel special. As mentioned above, women want to feel special in your life. They want to know that they are your #1 and that you still think of them when you’re not together. Purchasing flowers, or even picking her some roadside daisies, shows her that during your day, you took the time to think about her.
- To let her know that you still love her. The longer you’re together and the more responsibilities you share, the less you may express your love for each other. Too often, couples (and especially men) take it for granted that their wife knows how they feel. Flowers (or any of the other ideas above) can make your actions speak louder than words.
- To apologize. We all mess up, especially in marriage. Saying sorry is crucial for healing. Why not do it with flowers? It takes a little more effort than just mouthing apologies, and it can speed up the reconciliation process.
- To reduce stress in her life. Maybe she’s been having a hard time at work, or her boss is breathing down her neck. Or maybe the kids have been driving her crazy. A flower delivery can brighten her day, renew her energy, and reduce stress. Plus, it shows her that you care about how she feels.
- To reignite your sex life. Send flowers with a saucy note attached, or even the day after some passionate lovemaking. It’s a simple, yet powerful way to reignite the passion between the two of you.
- To say thanks. Thanks for putting up with your underwear on the floor, for cooking dinner every night, or for tolerating (and preparing snacks for) the guys during the football game. In relationships, you can’t say thank you enough. Women want to feel appreciated, and when they do, they don’t mind doing anything for their husband.
- The best reason… is no real reason at all. Just send flowers because you want her to have something beautiful to look at, because you want to see her smile, surprise her, or even catch her off guard. Send them because, in a split-second decision, you decided to make her day and show her how much you appreciate her.
The best part about sending your wife flowers is that there doesn’t have to be a reason. Relationships thrive in environments where partners respect one another and make unselfish efforts to show they are special. Flowers are an easy, inexpensive, and beautiful way to express the millions of things couples run out of time and energy to do.
To make the gift of flowers even more special, put extra thought into it by finding out what your wife’s favorite blooms are or by picking an arrangement in her favorite color. By personalizing the arrangement and the enclosed note, you’ll surely earn brownie points with the woman in your life.
