As couples, we express love through our everyday actions -- our gestures of kindness, our generosity, our attention, our touch,our gaze.our expressions
We say, "Drive safely." "Take an umbrella." We kiss each other goodnight.
And our spouse hears,"I love you," in a way that touches more deeply than words.
We all have our favorite ways to show love. Here are some of mine:
1. Do the stuff neither of you wants to do. Someone has to call the plumber, resolve the mystery charge on the credit card,pay the bils. Go ahead. Be the one.
2. Cut your partner some slack. We all forget things, lose things, or screw things up. Why rub it in?
3. You're never too old or married too long to make it clear that the two of you have still got it going on.flirt
4. Be patient. Like it or not, sometimes you just have to patiently wait. Skip the time checking or foot tapping that says, what took you so long? Take a few deep breaths. Relax.
5. Pay attention. As in full-on and undivided. Not every minute of every day, but show up when it counts,when needed.
6.Keep two feet in, especially when things are difficult. Commitment is about staying with your challenges long enough to make things better.
7. Let down your guard.
8. Receive and acknowledge your partner's acts of love. The happiest couples are those who notice and respond when their partner reaches out. A thanks or a smile is all that it takes.
9. Stop a fight in its tracks. One of the most loving things you can do is stay calm when your spouse is getting worked-up
10. Leave enough gas in the car, enough hot water for a shower, enough milk for coffee.
11. Make dinner. You don't have to be the greatest chef,Simple is fine. Just give it your best shot.
12.Hug back. Kiss back. Smile.thats a great way of saying "I LOVE YOU"
13. Stay in touch. You're busy. I'm busy. No one is too busy to text or even call your loved one
14. Be the first one to reach out after a fight. Don't think for a minute that the first person to give ground is admitting fault. Marriage isn't a game of chicken. It takes courage and kindness,tolerance,patience to yield.
15. Make your relationship a priority.You need to spice up your mariage for it to stay sweet, year after year. Have a date night preferably valentine,a weekend getaway, keep work hours within bounds. And for goodness sake, when you're together, turn off your phone.
16. Think your spouse deserves a standing ovation? Tell someone how talented,beautiful,smart, loving, gracious she is. How patient he is with the kids. How he makes the world's best pie crust. Make sure he overhears you.
17. Keep in mind that life is short. Don't waste time holding grudges or focusing on petty upsets that, in the big picture, mean nothing. Focus, instead, on the ways that your marriage is loving and good
