Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, WA lists several ways husbands can properly and wisely honor their wives in his message, Marriage and Men.
I've embedded the the video below. Click here for the downloadable transcript, notes, audio/video and share/embed options.
I reprinted here some of the ways he says husbands can honor their wives:

    Honor her maritally. Take a wife honorably. Establish right priorities, and be a one woman man—absolutely 
    faithful to your wife.
    Honor her physically. Be strong for your wife, not against her. Be protective of her and present with her.
    Honor her emotionally. Be emotionally present and intimate. Take her on dates.
    Honor her verbally. Speak honorably to her. Speak honorably of her, when she is present and absent.
    Honor her financially. Provide for the financial needs of your family, organize your budget, and be generous 
    towards your wife.
    Honor her practically. Consider her needs and how you can serve her.
    Honor her parentally. Be “Pastor Dad” by shepherding your children (praying with them, teaching them about 
    Jesus, reading the Bible with them, etc.).
    Honor her spiritually. You initiate and lead prayer, Bible, chats, church attendance, etc. Take responsibility for 
    your church.
