When I leave home and my wife isn't in the home, I only lock the door knob. That way when she gets home she only has to unlock one lock to get inside. If she's in the house when I leave, I lock both the door knob and the dead bolt behind me.

I often walk up to him randomly and just give him a hug and kiss. There are lots of other little things we both do regularly to show our love. He makes our bed every morning which I greatly appreciate. I typically cook a healthy dinner every night as a way to show him I care about him and love him. Sometimes I'll surprise him with a special treat from the grocery store. Sometimes he'll offer to pick up dinner when he knows I've had a frantic work day. Lots and lots of little things that add up.

Small physical affection throughout the day, short notes or little stickers in his work bag sometimes, get his clothes ready for work, make sure his phone is charged, tell him or text him that I love him, text him funny things..

When he is telling me about his day, I stop whatever I'm doing and really listen. I try not to criticize, judge, or give advice unless he specificially is asking me my opinion. This is hard for me to do, it takes a real efgort on my part. LOL.

I still occasionally bring home some flowers for my wife, for no particular reason at all.

I normally wake up first so I arrange her slippers to be facing away from the bed so she can just slide her feet in instead of moving them around with her feet to walk out of bed.

Flowers for no special occasion really.

Hiding silly notes that don't necessarily have to be about romance. For example, we like chocolate-covered raisins and I make fun of her because of how she opens the jar, punches through the paper lid instead of taking it all off, and starts eating them. I playfully asked before "So who's the one who opened this?" we just laugh about it. One day we ran out of that snack so I bought another one and wrote a message on the paper lid and then put the cover on it back so when she took the metal lid off she would read "Aha! Gotcha! I knew you would be the one punching a hole in this paper lid! Look around. I am recording you with a hidden camera...just kidding. Punch your way in there and enjoy them. Luv U"

I pack her lunch in the mornings before we take off to school/work so there are times when I will hide a note in her lunch box. It could be a romantic note or just a silly one. I got a napkin and wrote something like "A gorgeous girl will be wiping her pretty lips with this napkin".

Surprise visit her at work or school with her favorite drink.

Random acts such as writing " I love you" on a post it, and sticking it on the windshield of her car/ bedroom window. Being intuitive, and knowing if it's a conversation where I should just listen. I always keep my hand on her, whenever she sleeps, in order for her to feel safe in her dreams. I have done that ever since I was jarred awake because she was having a nightmare.

When I can tell she needs to take one, I will surprise her by setting up weekends away. Now we do it every month. Even though I fought against doing it, I have come to appreciate the pampering you get from a Spa weekend. Couples massage, facials, mani/pedicures, great healthy meals with great wine, the ability to fully relax, always makes her month.

When it is cold, snowy and nasty out he drives me to work so I don't have to deal with parking and walking in it. I always appreciate it!
