RELATIONSHIPS TAKE WORK, YET SHARING LOVE WITH YOUR MAIN SQUEEZE IS SIMPLE! HERE’S HOW.
Love is designed for the everyday. It’s not to be reserved for anniversaries, birthdays or holidays. Or when you feel like taking those little steps to show him love. Yet sometimes, our complicated lives distract us from what’s most important: each other!
This means instead of showing patience to your boyfriend, partner or spouse after a frustrating day, you may become uncharacteristically aggravated or short-tempered. Perhaps you’re both preoccupied with career choices, finances or finding a healthy balance when working towards a new life goal. Maybe you just feel like you’re running around in circles with the ups and downs of your daily routine.
In my mind, a successful relationship is based on mutual respect and selflessness. Selflessness being the key—putting aside our own personal wants to care for the other. If you’re both doing this, you’re both being supported, encouraged, and loved to the max!
And even if your relationship is the strongest it’s ever been, you’re simply wanting to connect deeper with your special someone and make him feel special, these 53 (incredibly easy) ways to show him love will absolutely make his heart go pitter-patter!

What are your favorite ways to show your man you care for him, love him, and never want to leave him? Share in the comments below!
These are really sweet ideas. My boyfriend absolutely loves it when I show interest in his video games. They are really not interesting to me but he gets so cute and excited when he talks about them that I’ll happily let him tell me all about them. That’s what loves all about right?
Yes, that is absolutely what love is about! And I know we love and appreciate when they listen to us spill about our day or whatnot, too. 😀
