Telling your mate how much you care is wonderful. However, it is even better when they can experience how much you care. You can show how much you care without ever opening your mouth.
Let your actions do the talking.
Go beyond cooking dinner, going to work, and paying the bills. Sure these things demonstrate you care, but I challenge you to step outside of the norm.
Here are 9 way to do just that:
- Run her bath water and light some candles. It will show how much you appreciate how hard she works for the family.
- When he’s in the shower, hop in there with him and wash his back. It will let him know you want to be with him just as much as he wants to be with you.

- When she sets the table for dinner, you light some candles and turn down the lights. You have small kids you say. Well, let them experience the glow of a candle light dinner too.
- While driving in the car, rub the back of his neck. Sometimes, all it takes is a gentle touch to say I care about you more than you know.
- Pick up her favorite drink the next time you’re in the grocery store. When she gets in from work or running errands, have her favorite drink there waiting for her.
- Meet him at the door with a kiss and a smile when he comes home in the evening. Let the queen welcome her king back into their castle. Or, vice versa. Welcome your mate when they come home. Show you are glad to see them.
- Walk the mall with her. This doesn’t have to be every time she goes shopping, but sometimes. No rushing or questioning, just enjoy her company.
