I try to remember
There’s no such thing as a perfect relationship. Life isn’t all sunshine and buttercups. You remember the feelings you shared when you first fell in love - when it was impossible to look at each other without smiling. Just spending time alone together was the perfect night, and the animal attraction between the two of you was white hot.
You were happy together once. And if you were happy once, you can be happy again. Love expressed is when you give your attention, your time, your focus to someone.
Words of Affirmation
Verbal compliments, or words of appreciation, are powerful communicators of love. They are best expressed in simple, straightforward statements of affirmation.
Quality Time
Looking at each other and talking, giving your undivided attention. That twenty or more minutes of time will never be had again: we are giving our lives to each other. It is a powerful communicator of love.
Receiving Gifts
A gift is something you can hold in your hand and say “Look, she was thinking of me,” or “She remembered me”. The gift is a symbol of thought and the thought remains not only in the mind but is expressed in actually securing the gift and giving it as an expression of love.
Acts of Service
Doing things you know your spouse would like you to do. You seek to please her by serving her, to express your love for her by doing things for her. These acts require thought, planning, time, effort, and energy.
Physical Touch
For some individuals, physical touch is their primary love language. Without it, they feel unloved. With it, their emotional tank is filled, and they feel secure in the love of their spouse. The touch of love may take many forms. Don’t make the mistake that the touch that brings pleasure to you will also bring instant pleasure to her.
"Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don't yell at her because you know it would hurt her feelings."
