However, making some effort can help keep the blues away. This article lists some easy ways that will help you make him feel loved and cared for while he is travelling. 

Plus, it’s going to bring you closer together no matter how often he’s away on business trips. 

1. Communicate Regularly 

This may seem obvious, yet many couples overlook the importance of staying connected throughout the day. Lack of communication can be your biggest enemy when your partner is away from home. A great way to make sure you communicate regularly is by creating a schedule before he leaves. 

It doesn't have to be something special. You can just text each other "good morning" every day, call him on your lunch break, and maybe schedule a Skype call. 

You can be creative and send images or videos of your experiences throughout the day. Send each other lovely messages or amusing anecdotes on social media. But, above all, make it a top priority to stay in touch.

Sending pictures and videos can be a fun way to communicate as well. If you have kids, you can take pictures of any fun activity they might be doing and send them to your husband. This will make them realize that his family is thinking of him during fun times even when he wasn't there. 

2. Surprise Him With a Gift 

Hiding a surprise gift in your husband's suitcase is one of the best ways to make him feel loved and cared for. Finding a surprise gift during a stressful business trip will surely melt his heart. The gift can be anything he likes. You can find a variety of gifts for travel lovers if you search online. It can be anything that is significant to you two or something he is fond of. 

You can get him something as simple as his favorite candy. When he is away from home, anything that comforts him or makes him feel at home can make him feel better. If he has a candy he likes or an energy bar he has when he is at home, you can just pack it in his suitcase. 

3. Do Your Favorite Activity “Together”

A fun way to bond with your husband while he is traveling would be to engage in any activity you like doing together. You can watch a movie, series, or drama at the same time. Reading a book or listening to your favorite music are great options too. 

You can keep this a surprise too. If you plan to watch a movie then you can hide the DVD in his suitcase and tell him about it when you are ready to watch it. The same goes for books. However, if you want to listen to music with him, you can create a playlist with your favorite music and put it on his phone. 

This might be something insignificant but it will create a sense of intimacy no matter how far you are.

4. Express What You Feel

When you and your significant other cannot be together physically for a very long time, maintaining intimacy can be a difficult task. You can keep the spark alive by surprising him with moments that let him know that you are thinking of him. Such as sending a postcard or picture albums of your memorable moments.

During your time apart, arrange for flowers to be delivered to his door. Enjoy yourself because even the smallest romantic gestures will remind you both that "absence really does make the heart grow fonder."

5. Make the Most of Technology 

As we know modern technology was invented to make life easier and bring people closer. Though nowadays it tends to distract us from reality and creates drifts in relationships, that’s not the case when your husband is traveling. Rather, it can help you make small gestures that will make your husband feel loved. 

What you can do is to put reminders on the calendar app on his phone. This will remind him of important dates or even when to call or text you. You can even install Skype or Google Hangout so you can video chat with each other. 

You can send something special from your partner's favorite online store when you know he enjoys receiving gifts. Share images and videos on social media to keep up with each other's daily activities. Handwritten notes can be a great idea too.

6. Be Appreciative

Offering emotional support is very important while your husband is traveling. So when you are talking, make sure to remind him how much you appreciate what he does for the family and that you are proud of him. 

Try saying things in a positive light. When he calls, don’t start complaining or nagging. He might get stressed out if he senses that something is wrong. If there is a problem or an issue, attempt to express it in a more positive and constructive manner.

Being away from your husband for a long stretch of time may undoubtedly cause you to feel you’ve grown apart. However, make the best of the circumstance by putting some effort to keep the flame alive. 

No matter how far you are from each other, follow these tips to make your husband feel loved while he is traveling. You might even realize that by including these tips in your daily life, you and your spouse are coming closer to each other like never before.
