Boyfriends And Husbands Who Deserve A Gold Star
Being in a relationship or a marriage, just like life in general, isn't always easy, but some people clearly make an effort to show their significant others who much they mean to them.
These husbands and boyfriends, through their fun, selfless, and kind gestures, know just how to make their wives' and girlfriends' days a little bit brighter.
Taco 'Bout A Good Man!
This man had never baked a cake before in his life, but knowing that his wife loves tacos, he made it his mission to bake and decorate a cake that looked like a taco for her birthday.
![cake cake shaped like a taco](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-2.30.08-AM-65588.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Her Cheerleader Even When He's Not Around
Her husband headed to work early and she was getting ready to go for a job interview. When she got in her car, she found this note that he left for her.
![got this sign taped to steering wheel says](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-1.58.05-AM-84811.jpg?width=800&height=975)
Seasonings Of Love
Upon getting a new label maker, one woman's husband took it upon himself to create punny labels for everything he could find in their house so that she could have a laugh. These are just the seasonings.
![spices husband puts labels on spice bottles:](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-1.52.04-AM-24069.jpg?width=800&height=533)
She Deserves The Laugh
In the birthing room, this new mom is photographed holding her son while laughing hysterically because her husband, upon seeing their newborn child, immediately passed out and collapsed on the floor.

Apparently, Husbands Aren't The Best At Handling Birth
Her husband was absolutely adamant that he be with her throughout the whole birthing process, even when she was pulled into an emergency C-section. Unfortunately, his nerves couldn't handle the process and he passed out seconds after the baby was born.
![c-section woman laughing in OR while husband is passed out on the ground](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-2.04.25-AM-19957.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Gal Gadot's Husband Knows What's Up
Fans of the superhero know Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman all across the world, but her husband is still her #1 fan through it all. I wonder if he had the shirt custom made.
![wonder woman gal gadot's husband wears a shirt that says](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-1.37.21-AM-36544.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=49&left=0&zoom=0.666666666667)
You're Doing Great, Honey!
His wife is teaching herself how to crochet, and, wanting to be supportive, he tried to act like this tiny square was an adequate blanket. Honestly, I wish someone would hype me up like this.
![crochet man with tiny crocheted square on his knee](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Untitled-design-24578.jpg?width=800&height=1200)
A Relaxation Station Specifically For Her
His wife loves to take baths and likes to watch television while doing so but was afraid of dropping her phone in the water, so he made her a little over-the-tub table to ensure she could fully relax.
![bath stand wooden bath](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-2.33.02-AM-67971.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Love Really Is Beautiful
This couple met each other 30 years ago at university—he was Greek and she was from Hong Kong, though she visited him in Greece before they parted ways.
![love is cool old photos of man and woman in greece respectively and then photo of them together on wedding day as older adults](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-2.38.48-AM-98172.jpg?width=800&height=795)
He found her on LinkedIn decades later and the flame rekindled. He moved to be with her and they have been happily married ever since.
Death Becomes Him
Upon his wife's persistent demands, this husband dressed up as "death"—or the grim reaper—and walked around their neighborhood during a blizzard just so she could snap some photos for a collection.
![death person dressed as grim reaper walking in snow](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-1.48.08-AM-43671.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Even The Finest Art Critic Would Love This Piece
During their first Thanksgiving together in their shared home, her boyfriend fell on the stairs and ended up making a hole in the drywall. Instead of covering it up, he decided to have fun with it.
![drywall framed hole in drywall labelled](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/YnfBMW0-62327.jpg?width=800&height=1067)
They Can't See Each Other In Person
This couple, both working in emergency services, were forced to quarantine separately from each other to avoid the potential spread of the virus. This was the only way they can meet up face to face.
![window Police officer and frontline healthcare worker talk on phone and touch hands through window glass](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-2.08.04-AM-51145.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=87&left=0&zoom=0.847457627119)
I'm Not Crying, You Are
Marriage vows clearly state "till death do us part," but this husband found a way to still be there for his wife even after he passed away by sending her this edible arrangement.
![edible edible arrangement with note: Hi Honey, I made sure our girls will always take care of you. Please let them love you and help through this. Find happiness through our memories, our children, and grandchildren. Don't cry for me. I am waiting for you. Love, Rich](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-2.17.26-AM-53839.jpg?b=0&c=9&width=800&height=533&top=334&left=44&zoom=1.2077294686)
A Lockdown Date Night
Date night out is one of this couple's favorite things to do, but that hasn't been an option since lockdown started, so this boyfriend tried his best to recreate a restaurant atmosphere in their apartment.
![date recreation of restaurant atmosphere in apartment](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-10.33.07-AM-34491.jpg?width=800&height=533)
He Said She Had To Come Home Late
One frosty winter day, one woman was trying to finish up work to go home but her boyfriend insisted that she come home later. It turns out that he had spent hours trying to DIY a Christmas tree.
![christmas tree stack of books with string lights to look like a christmas tree](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-2.44.42-AM-35041.jpg?width=800&height=1233)
This Man Knows What A Woman Really Wants
His wife was having "one of those days," so he managed the kids in the morning so she could sleep in, brought her breakfast in bed, started up a bath for her, and left her flowers and an iced coffee.
![wife WOMAN in bathtub with coffee and flowers waiting for her](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-1.27.34-AM-80770.jpg?width=800&height=1378)
He Treats Her Daughter Like His Own
When her daughter had to have an IV put in at the hospital, this woman's new boyfriend, who used to be an army medic, sat down and showed her how it would work step by step and offered to get one put in too so she wouldn't have to do it alone.
![hospital man holding hand of young girl in hospital bed](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-2.46.18-AM-76037.jpg?width=800&height=533)
I'll Never Let Go, Jack!
This couple was trapped up on a mountain when a sudden snowstorm engulfed them and they were forced to navigate the treacherous weather together. He held her jacket the whole time because he was afraid to lose her.
![storm two figures in snow storm](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-2.49.58-AM-86266.jpg?width=800&height=533)
There's A Reason They Call It "Falling In Love"
Her husband was tasked with raking up the leaves in the backyard, but when she looked outside, she saw this. They've been married for 28 years, but he still finds new ways to tell her he loves her.
![fall leaves in backyard raked specifically to read](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-9.17.58-AM-69584.jpg?width=800&height=479)
It's No Mystery—He Loves Her
His wife was in an accident two months before Halloween and suffered a severe brain injury. In order to lift her spirits, he and a couple of friends found a costume that she could feel very involved in.
![scooby four people and dog dressed as gang from Scooby Doo. woman dressed as velma has her wheelchair decorated like the Mystery Machine](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-10.19.29-AM-35804.jpg?width=800&height=1060)
The Perfect Way To Her Heart
When getting a woman a piece of jewelry, it's important to know what she really likes. This husband gave his wife, who works as an ER nurse, a slightly different style of heart necklace because he knew she'd love it more.
![heart heart necklace shaped like anatomically correct heart with inside showing the chambers of a human heart](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-9.21.36-AM-14919.jpg?width=800&height=796)
Fort-Building Skills Are On Point
This husband convinced his wife that they should build a giant blanket fort together and spend New Year's Eve watching movies together with their son until midnight hit. In my opinion, he couldn't have planned a more perfect night.
![fort blanket fort](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/h45y0e5o0r721-36692.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=0&left=0&zoom=0.666666666667)
Love Goes Long After Death
In order to lay his late wife's ashes to rest, this husband flew over 2,500 miles on a plane, drove for two hours, hiked for six hours, and finally came to the place he knew she'd be at peace.
![ashes man dropping ashes in icy river](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-10.14.32-AM-91696.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Even The Royal Couples Have Fun
Queen Elizabeth II was just walking around the grounds of Buckingham Palace when one particular guard stuck out to her. She's photographed here trying to control her laughter upon realizing the "guard" is her husband dressed up as a prank.
![GettyImages-57098573 GettyImages-57098573](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/GettyImages-57098573-60660.jpg?width=800&height=1121)
How Happy Was She To Receive It? Priceless
His wife wanted a table that looked like this, but it was retailing at a price that was just too far outside their budget. Seeing how much she liked it, this husband decided to make it for her himself.
![table grey wood modern design table](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-10.11.17-AM-67401.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Keeping A Tradition Alive
Every year, this couple makes an effort to find a photo booth and take a set of pictures together. This year, the booth was a little more crowded. I hope they keep this up for the rest of their lives.
![photobooth several photobooth films of couple and one with them and a baby](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-2.15.10-AM-66793.jpg?width=800&height=533)
If That's Not Love, Then What Is?
All we can hope for in this long, winding road we call life is to meet a partner who loves us so much that they would awkwardly prop themselves up on the passenger car door to feed us ice cream.
![spoonfeed elderly man feeds wife ice cream through passenger car door](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-10.23.11-AM-17434.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This Was Taken Moments Before He Proposed To Her
There's something completely wholesome about this photo. She's just spinning around while walking around the streets of Harlem with the man she loves, and he is staring at her knowing she's going to be his whole future.
![harlem man stares at woman lovingly while twirling her](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/ypmcwup6gm751-94770.jpg?width=800&height=1200)
He Told His Wife He Was "Working Out"
This boyfriend told his girlfriend that he was going to go work out in the basement. She heard the treadmill running for a while and went down to take a peek. This is what she saw.
![treadmill man playing with toy truck on treadmill](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/oDGSQmG-32068.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=117&left=0&zoom=0.666666666667)
An Accurate Dedication
Loving, caring, and paying attention to another person can take up a lot of time and effort and maybe detract from our personal projects on occasion, but it's undeniably worth it.
![dedication book dedication reads: to my wife Marganit, and my children Ella Rose and Daniel Adam without whom this book would have been completed two years earlier](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-10.28.29-AM-73067.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=82&left=89&zoom=0.754574608564)
She Asked How Cat-Sitting Was Going
When his girlfriend was heading out of town for a week, this boyfriend offered to cat-sit for her. When she asked how it was going, he sent this picture. I think he's doing great.
![cat sit cat at table with dice and yahtzee score sheet in front of him](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/azpovqn0b4151-57397.jpg?width=800&height=533)
He Looks Fabulous
After setting up everything in preparation for a maternity photoshoot, this photographer's client failed to show up. Her boyfriend, not wanting all her work to feel like a waste, decided to model a bit.
![maternity collage of man posing in traditional](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/stp88rv7pi551-40588.jpg?width=800&height=800)
She Really Loves Dino-Nuggies
Let's make one thing clear: there is no age limit on loving dinosaur nuggets. This husband, knowing his wife's affinity for them, decided to make a cake that looked just like one.
![dino cake shaped like giant dinosaur chicken nugget](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Screen-Shot-2020-07-27-at-3.13.43-PM-85204.jpg?width=800&height=1048)
He's So Pretty!
This boyfriend doesn't normally dress like this, but when his girlfriend adopted a rescue dog with a bad past that has trouble trusting men, he agreed to dress like a woman until the dog started to like him.
![drag man dressed up as woman](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Screen-Shot-2020-07-27-at-3.32.51-PM-85427.jpg?width=800&height=1038)
He Just Wants To Hangout With Her
While stuck together in the house, this husband was feeling a little lonely while his wife was working in the other room, so he tried to lure her out to see him using her favorite things.
![hangout line of items on ground including cheetos and the ingredients to make a moscow mule](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Screen-Shot-2020-07-27-at-3.27.15-PM-10442.jpg?width=800&height=1065)
He Says She's Absolutely Gorgeous
His wife, who is 30-years-old, recently started chemotherapy treatments to help battle cancer. She didn't want to watch her hair fall out, so he helped her shave all of her hair off.
![shaved woman with shaved head looking in mirror](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Screen-Shot-2020-07-27-at-3.37.35-PM-65617.jpg?width=800&height=938)
She Might End Up Having To Share
In order to make it easier for her to work from home, this husband built his wife, who works as a voice actor for advertisements and audiobooks, a little sound booth. Unfortunately, the kitten thinks it's for him.
![voiceover microphone with area surrounded in foam and a cat sleeping in it](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Screen-Shot-2020-07-27-at-3.43.08-PM-73111.jpg?width=800&height=611)
Photograph Me Like One Of Your Icelandic Girls
The man who took this photo wanted to capture the image of his wife on an Icelandic beach at sunrise because he thought she looked absolutely stunning in the light.
![iceland woman in hooded cape looks ethereal during sunrise](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/qoppmr9d35c51-37660.jpg?width=800&height=533)
He Does Not Stay Idle
Due to trying times, this husband lost his job and was unable to find another. Instead of just wallowing around, he decided to build his wife a nice bookshelf and desk space like she'd been wanting.
![bookshelve enormous wooden bookshelf and desk unit covers whole wall](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Screen-Shot-2020-07-27-at-3.46.57-PM-77756.jpg?width=800&height=533)
He's Just So Amazed She's His Wife
This couple only got married a month ago, but this husband is absolutely smitten with his wife and couldn't help but share this photo where she looks absolutely radiant despite their dog photobombing it.
![bride photo of smiling bride with dog between her legs](https://www.thecouplething.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ary1cc863y451-95189.jpg?width=800&height=1200)
