How to Bless Your Wife This Easter!

Share The Mental Load This Easter!

Men, be honest—do you have any clue what’s happening for Easter? Do you know what the kids are getting in their baskets, where you’re eating Easter dinner, or what the family’s schedule looks like? If not, perhaps consider asking your wife if she’d like any help with the mental load this Easter?

Easter is one of those holidays that tends to fall squarely on her shoulders. The meal, the outfits, the egg hunts, the church plans, the decorations—she’s juggling all of it, while you might just be showing up. But this year, let’s change that.

Here are practical ways to step up, lighten her load, and make her feel truly appreciated this Easter season.

1. Take Some of the Easter Planning Off Her Plate

Your wife is likely already carrying the weight of making Easter meaningful for the whole family. But why should she be the only one responsible for that? Instead of waiting for her to ask for help, take the initiative.

Ways to Help:

• Ask her directly what still needs to be done. Don’t just say, “Let me know if you need help.” Instead, say, “Hey, what’s left on the Easter to-do list that I can handle?”
• Handle the Easter baskets. Ask what the kids need or just take over completely—either buy them pre-filled or use existing baskets and fill them with small toys, books, and treats the kids will love. Here’s some ideas from Etsy to get you started that will show her you’ve done more than just bought the first random things you see!
• Offer to handle the grocery shopping. Whether it’s for Easter brunch or the big dinner, step up and grab what’s needed.
• Set up and clean up the decorations. Don’t wait until Easter morning to realize there’s nothing festive around—help her out by decorating the home before she has to do it herself.

A little planning and effort on your end will lift a huge burden off her shoulders.

2. Make Sure She Gets a Break

Between cooking, cleaning, and managing the kids, when does she actually get to enjoy Easter? If you’re not intentional about making sure she gets some downtime, she’ll be too busy making the holiday special for everyone else to actually experience it herself.

Ways to Help:

• Give her time to relax before Easter Sunday. Offer to take the kids out for a few hours on Saturday so she can do whatever she wants—nap, shop, or just enjoy some quiet time.
• Step up on Easter morning. Make breakfast, get the kids dressed, and handle the chaos so she can focus on enjoying the morning.
• After the big meal, take charge of cleaning up. Don’t let her do all the work while everyone else lounges around.

This small act of acknowledging her efforts and ensuring she gets rest will mean the world to her.

3. Surprise Her with a Thoughtful Gift

Gifts aren’t just for kids on Easter! She deserves something that makes her feel special, too. It doesn’t have to be extravagant—just meaningful.

Great Easter Gift Ideas for Your Wife:

• A bouquet of her favorite flowers to brighten up the day. Check out these with FREE SHIPPING from Farmgirl Flowers!
• A heartfelt letter or handwritten note telling her how much you appreciate everything she does.
• A small piece of jewelry like a delicate cross necklace or an engraved bracelet.
• A devotional book, journal or Faithbox to encourage her faith journey.
• A spa day or massage gift experience so she can unwind after the holiday!

A little extra effort on your part will make her feel seen, valued, and appreciated.

4. Take the Lead on the Spiritual Side of Easter

Easter is about more than just eggs and candy—it’s the most important holiday in the Christian faith. As the spiritual leader of your home, this is a perfect time to step up.

How to Lead Spiritually This Easter:

• Organize a devotional date night leading up to Easter Sunday. The team over on Far From The Farm have the perfect FREE printable Easter devotional and date night guide to get you started!
• Pray with her and for her. Thank God for her sacrifices and ask for strength and peace over her life.
• Encourage her to take time for her faith. Offer to watch the kids while she has quiet time to pray and reflect.
• Lead by example. Be engaged in church, initiate spiritual conversations, and set the tone for how your family celebrates Easter.

Taking an active role in the spiritual side of Easter will be a blessing to both your wife and your family.

5. Show Her Love in Small, Intentional Ways

At the end of the day, it’s the small, intentional acts of love that mean the most. Easter is a great opportunity to show her that you see her, value her, and appreciate all she does.

Simple Ways to Make Her Feel Loved:

• Wake up early and make her coffee before she even gets out of bed.
• Tell her she looks beautiful before heading out for Easter service.
• Hug her, hold her hand, or give her a kiss to remind her she’s cherished.
• Tell the kids to thank her for all she does to make the holiday special.
• Remind her she is loved—not just by you, but by God.

These aren’t huge, complicated gestures, but they’re meaningful. And they make a lasting impact.

The Takeaway: Make This Easter About More Than Just the Kids

Your wife does so much to make holidays special. But she deserves to enjoy Easter, too. By stepping up, handling some of the planning, and making sure she feels appreciated, you’ll bless her in ways she won’t forget.

Take a few of these ideas, put them into action, and make this Easter one where she feels truly loved, supported, and cherished.
