Who knew that January 26 was a day dedicated to marriages and spouses! Wow, how pleasantly surprised I was to find out that there is actually a national holiday for spouses to celebrate their spouse: National Spouse’s Day.
Just what does this day mean? and why should you be happy to celebrate National Spouse’s Day?
You have heard the saying “those closest to you go unnoticed faster” (well maybe not a saying but you understand where I’m going with this) and this is so true when it comes to our close relationship, marriage. Sometimes our spouse can feel unappreciated due to the busyness of our lives and taken for granted. This holiday forces us to focus on our spouse and show them that they are special and important in our lives.
Use today to really “spoil” your spouse. Today is a great day to be intentional in speaking your spouse Love Language.
Ways to celebrate your spouse
- Surprise your spouse with a small token of appreciation
- Do that one thing they have been asking you to do for MONTHS
- Give your spouse the night off from dealing with the kids
- Give your spouse a massage
- Go out of your way to surprise your spouse with random acts of service
Today, is just a reminder of the things we should already be doing. Treat today as a birthday celebration. Our spouse birthday is special and a way for us to celebrate them. Well today, National Spouse’s Day, is just that: a day we can celebrate our spouse.
Enjoy your day and your spouse!

No I did not know about national spouse day. I should not have any trouble remembering its date because it is six months away from our anniversary date.

Pam says
I didn’t know about national spouse’s day, but I did know that it was important to make your spouse feel special. It’s easy to get into the routine of things and stop treating each other like you both deserve.
Debbie Denny says
I did not know about it. I do try to do something to show mine how important he is to me tho.

I don’t think I’d previously heard of National Spouse’s Day. It’s a neat idea but to some degree, shouldn’t we be celebrating our spouse every day? Thanks for sharing!

Lexie Lane says
I gave my husband a coupon book of things he could ask me to do throughout the year. The deal was that I would or could not complain if he decided to use them. Stuff like … having man cave time, etc.
