7 Best Ways To Show Your Partner How Much You Appreciate Their Love and Support

Let’s face it – your partner’s awesome and they need to be told this more often! Sometimes when you’re with someone romantically for an extended period of time, those little ooey-gooey gestures of appreciation are often the first things to go. Is it because you stopped loving or appreciating the wonderful things your partner does for you? Of course not! So why is it that these very important announcements of appreciation tend to fall to the way-side?

Whether you’re not the affectionate type, or you’re just being plain lazy, showing your partner a daily dose of love and appreciation can do wonders for your relationship! Whether you’ve been together for 10 months or 10 years, if you’re in a long distance relationship or you’re already married, there are plenty of ways to show your partner how much your appreciate their love and support, all-around.

# Cook them dinner

This one works for either gender, and is so exciting when you are still a new couple. What better way to show your special someone how awesome you think they are than to say it with food? Cook up a fancy meal for your lover, complete with a starter, an entrée, and a fancy dessert – all made by you! Tingle their tummy with this expression of love and gratitude.

# Leave post-its hidden in his room

Guys love games, so make this one he’ll never forget. Write out 10 things you appreciate about your guy on a set of pink, heart-shaped post-its *alright, so the color and shape isn’t exactly a requirement – but it definitely adds to the cute factor in this!* and hide them all around his bedroom or apartment for him to find.

# Ask about their day

It seems silly, and a little sad that something as small as asking your partner how their day is going can be something taken out of your daily repertoire, yet it happens to couples of all kinds. Many people love being in a relationship because of the stability it brings, as well as the reminder that someone cares about both the big and small aspects of their day. Show your partner you’re listening by asking about their day, every day. Not only are you showing them you care, you may even get some juicy gossip out of the deal!

# Have more oral

Let’s be real: it is extremely likely that your partner loves receiving oral. Nothing shows your partner you appreciate their listening, working hard, and support for you quite like treating them to an evening of self-indulgence. Remember this is about them, so just this once, don’t expect any reciprocation.

# Greet them when they come home

No matter who comes home first, make sure you greet your partner at the door when they get in. While this is obviously a circumstantial show of love, your partner will no doubt appreciate seeing your smiling face first thing when they get home.

# Start his car when it’s cold outside

Does your man head out to work before you do? While he’s showering in the morning, do him a wifely solid and get out there and brush off and start his car. Some cars take forever to heat up, especially in the winter months. Your man will love you to pieces for doing this simple favor.

# Start your day with a text or video saying what you love about them

Odds are if you’re in an LDR, then you’ve spent a lot of time talking and a lot of time listening to your partner, meaning you’ve gotten to know them quite well. You might say you’ve even gotten to know them quicker and more intimately than you would have if you were in person!
