We all want to show our love to our partners, but sometimes it’s hard to find the right way to do it. These five tips will help you show your love in ways that mean the most to your partner, improving your relationship and strengthening your bond.

Quality Time

The only thing better than a date night is quality time spent together. Whether you spend it curled up on your couch with a mug of coffee or going for a walk in your neighborhood, you’ll never go wrong by spending time with your partner. Even if it’s just for 15 minutes, make an effort to be present when you’re together and listen to each other. You might be surprised by how much goes unsaid between you two.

Doing Things For Them

The simplest way to show your love is by doing things for them. It could be something as simple as making their coffee in bed, or cooking dinner on a night when they’re especially tired. The important thing is that you do it with no strings attached: do not ask anything in return, nor complain if they don’t take care of you later. Just remember, it’s all about showing how much you care and without expecting anything in return.

Physical Touch

A study conducted by Harvard Medical School found that when people touch more, they experience more happiness and less depression. Next time you’re with your partner, go ahead and hold hands, give hugs, or stroke their arm while you’re talking. Also, make it a point to initiate regular date nights and keep each other close in public (put your arm around each other). A little physical affection goes a long way toward showing how much you care about someone.

Giving Gifts

It’s amazing how a small gift can turn around your partner’s day. This doesn’t necessarily mean spending a lot of money—chocolate, flowers or little tokens will do. Even without money to spend, you can find ways to make small gestures: like giving someone you love some extra time in bed in the morning, bringing home their favorite snack, or dropping them off somewhere instead of parking right by the door.

Thoughtful Gestures

The best way to show your love is with thoughtful gestures that communicate how much you care. These are some of my favorites • Leave a love note for them in their car or on their pillow when they're not around. It's a simple gesture, but it makes them feel special and loved! And, let's be honest: Who doesn't like getting cute notes? You can also leave little reminders around their house so they don't forget why they fell in love with you in the first place. (For example, if you know they like flowers, leave a fresh bouquet on their counter.) This will make them smile every time they see it!
