The 'Bobby' star, who has been married to the 'Desperate Housewives' actress for more than 10 years, admits he doesn't give much thought to making loving gestures but did once surprise Huffman by taking her on holiday.
He said: "I bought her a car once. That's the male equivalent of romantic.
"But I also rented a room. I took her away, and it was a complete surprise. I had the room all set up. It was pretty romantic."
Macy also confessed he has no idea what the secret is to a successful marriage.
He added to America's OK! magazine: "I don't know what the secret to a successful marriage is. I'd say 'marry Felicity Huffman' but not everybody can do it. I already did it.
"Never marry someone who is not nice. My wife is really good at talking. Most guys hate talking and I don't blame them because talking leads to communication and once you communicate, you're going to start feeling things, and from there it's a slippery slope because you're going to start experiencing life so I try to avoid it."
The 58-year-old actor has two daughters with Huffman, seven-year-old Sofia Grace and six-year-old Georgia Grace.
