We can tell our loved ones that we care until we are blue in the face, but sometimes, it makes more of a difference when we show it. The trick is to demonstrate actions, not just words.

1.Kiss him in the morning when you wake up to get the day going, and in the evening before you go to sleep.

Embrace your partner whenever you see each other again after being apart. Kissing doesn't always have to lead to sex, but it will always reinforce the feelings between you.

2.The more nonsexual touching you do, the nicer your relationship is going to be.

It will also improve your love life. Always remember to touch your partner in a way that feels good to them. It's not about you, but about the other person, and the more you give, the more you'll receive.

3. Call his parents and tell them what a great job they did making your mate into the wonderful person he is today.

This gesture can make a big difference in your family dynamic. And if the parents are no longer around, just writing a thank you note to your partner can have a similar effect.

4. Always compliment him, even if he's having a bad hair day.

The more you can make your partner feel good, the better your partner will make you feel about yourself and your relationship.

5. If you've made a misstep, make an apology as soon as possible.

The longer you let it go, the more painful it will become for your love and the harder it will be for you to find the right words. It has to come from your heart, pure and simple.
