10 Ways to Show Your Spouse You Love Them

Автор: Joseph Kirby 22.05.2022

After the honeymoon, marriages inevitably settle into routines. Here are some ways to add romance and spice to life.

Daily life consists of routines, duties and work. While these are all necessary, they can drain the joy and spontaneity from a relationship. Wise couples will work on adding to and maintaining the spark in their marriage.

Ways to Show Your Spouse You Care

Everyone needs to feel loved. Here are some simple ways to show your husband or wife that you care about them:

  • Surprise them by doing a household chore they are normally responsible for and don’t like doing. This may be anything from vacuuming the house, polishing shoes, packing school lunches or taking the trash out.
  • Give them a shoulder rub or foot massage as they watch their favorite television program. A man doing this for a woman could use her favorite body lotion.
  • Buy tickets for a football game or sport your man likes – and go along with him and show some enthusiasm even if you don’t understand the game.
  • Leave romantic notes where your spouse will find them. Tuck them into their lunch box, tape them to the bathroom mirror, fold them into clean underwear or slide them into a book they’re reading.

Fun Ideas of Things to do Together

Dating couples normally have endless ideas of entertaining things to do together. Marriage and children can inhibit spontaneity but with some planning and effort, husbands and wives can fit fun outings into their lives. Here are some ideas of the type of things to arrange:

  • Spend a day at a theme park or funfair and go on all the rides. Buy candyfloss, scream like a kid on the roller coaster and let your hair down for a day.
  • Play a round of mini golf and have ice creams afterwards.
  • Try an adventurous activity together such as rock climbing, parasailing or caving. Many places offer a first lesson at a reduced rate and you might discover something you would like to pursue as a couple.

Really Romantic Dates for Married Couples

Marriages often slump into a list of tasks and duties with little time for romance. Sex becomes a duty for the woman and the sparkle fades. Romantic outings will add value to the marriage and keep love alive. Here are some suggestions for romantic dates:

  • Arrange to have dinner at a restaurant that holds meaning for both of you. Make it a special occasion by arranging for flowers to be brought to the table or a special song to be played and dedicated to your spouse.
  • Ask your spouse to accompany you on a walk and take them to a romantic spot. Depending on where you live, this could be a secluded country lane, a quiet beach or a mountainous viewing point.
  • Make a list of 10 things you love about your husband or wife and read it to them by candlelight, late at night, with passion and a genuine heart.

Couples should always remember that marriage is a work in progress and paying attention to the romantic and fun side of it can be of enormous benefit.
