Women certainly appreciate a grand gesture of love. You could buy your special lady some jewelry or a designer handbag to show her how important she is to you. But in reality, it’s the small things that count the most.
So save the grand gestures and expensive gifts for special occasions, because we’ve got some everyday alternatives that are not only more thoughtful but will probably mean a lot more to her, too.
No matter her love language, these tips are sure-fire ways to show her just how much she means to you:
1 – Try to Remember Details When She Tells You Things
Yes, she may talk in circles and perhaps takes too long to get to the point of a story. But it’s up to you to be attentive or at least try to be, listen, and pick up on the important details.
She might be telling you how annoyed she was when you left the toilet seat up again; or how she really enjoyed spending the day going hiking with you.
Either way, it’s important to take note of the small things. They’re little clues that you can use to improve your relationship.
2 – Communicate Your Feelings
In the same way that it’s important to listen to her, it’s also important to communicate with her. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Just be careful that your delivery and tone are appropriate so that you don’t offend or hurt her unintentionally.
Be thoughtful about the way you say things, but don’t avoid sharing the bad just to protect her feelings. Doing so can cause resentment, which can ultimately destroy your relationship.
Keeping the lines of communication open ensures both partners get to give and receive useful information about keeping the relationship healthy.
3 – Hug Her Daily
Never underestimate the power of a good hug. Hugs are a simple form of connection that makes a woman feel safe and protected.
There’s something about being in your partner’s arms that makes all the worries of the world seem a little less harsh.
Hug her when she’s upset, when she’s happy, or just because. The fact that you initiate the hug conveys more than you think. It builds trust and tells her that you’re looking out for her.
4 – Cook Up a Special Little Something
It’s one thing to feed her, and it’s quite another to cook for her. Yes, ordering in is still appreciated. But actually going through the trouble of preparing a whole meal is a completely different level that will earn you tons of brownie points! And you can’t even use the fact that you can’t cook as an excuse, because most grocery stores have ready-made meals that you just have to pop in the oven. Plate it up and set the table, maybe with some candles, and she’ll be happy as a clam.
