10 Ways to show her/him you care

Let’s face it, most of us could use a little jump start now and then when it comes to relationships. That’s why we’ve included this section. Simple acts of kindness are a great way to say, “I care about you.” Date nights are great, but when life gets busy, sometimes all that’s necessary are little reminders!

SHOW HER....

1) Sit on the couch with her or outside on a warm day and just talk.

2) Try not to make sudden changes without discussing them with her first.

3) Allow your wife to share her opinions without being defensive.

4) Try not to argue—be sure to let go of the small stuff.

5) Be sympathetic when she’s sick or has had a long day.

6) Go out for a fun adventure— without the kids.

7) Share the responsibilities around the house.

8) Value and inspire her individuality.

9) Challenge yourself to complete all 10 ideas in each issue. Don’t just focus on the easy ones!

10) Express your love by choosing her over hobbies and buddies.

Don’t refuse to say sorry or ask for forgiveness—don’t let the little issues turn into big problems—talk.

SHOW HIM....

1) Allow for quiet time. Just sitting next to each other is enough. Enjoy your time together.

2) Do not be critical about your partner’s habits, especially in front of others.

3) Brag to your mother about something he’s achieved recently.

4) Encourage him to spend some time enjoying his favorite book or hobby.

10) Encourage him to spend time having fun with his children.
