Don’t tell us you forgot – it’s Husband Appreciation Day tomorrow!

How are you going to celebrate?

Just when you thought tomorrow was just another ordinary day, think again. Tomorrow – Saturday April 21 – is Husband Appreciation Day, a very special day to honour the man you married.

Unlike Father’s Day, this is a day especially for married men without kids. For married men with kids, there is Father’s Day, the creators of this day reasoned – whoever they are (nobody really knows).

The day is celebrated on the third Saturday of every April and before you ask – yes, there is a Wife Appreciation Day too. It’s on the third Sunday of every September.

So back to the blokes. Tomorrow is a day to celebrate the many, many husbands out there who are fantastic partners.

Husbands who rub your feet, make you breakfast or have your favourite wine waiting in the fridge when you come home from work. Husbands who listen to you, support you in the choices you make and laugh at your jokes.

Husbands who make no judgement on the trashy TV shows you watch, or even watch them with you. Husbands who bake, dance, shop, hold your hand when you go out together or make an effort to get along with your mother. Husbands who save your life!

Husbands who make you feel special, and long may they be a part of our lives.

So, how to celebrate? Make him his favourite dinner, bring him breakfast in bed or at the very least, tell him how much you love him.
