When you have been in a long term relationship, things can become very routine and the "I love you's" start to sound the same. All the while, saying it can be ever more important as your lover needs to hear re-assuring words noting you care about them--through good and bad.
The words start to loose meaning. We get it! You're busy and life takes over, but that's no excuse. Here are a couple of ideas to show your lover that you care and love them.
Usually poems are used in the beginning of relationships for wooing but they can also be used as a great tool to remind someone that you care for them and love them just as much as you did in the beginning.
Need help getting some inspiration for that special poem? Start with the qualities of your partner you love the most and go from there! Or a simple, "roses are red, violets are blue" can work too. It's not about the quality of the poem, but the effort and love behind them.
#2 Pack them lunch
No you're not in grade school any more, but a packed lunch is still a cute and loving way to show someone you care. Pack a homemade, delicious and nutritious lunch and add a little note to boot! It will surely brighten their day and make them feel special. Plus, who doesn't love a partner who can cook for them?
#3 Do the laundry
If you and your lover do your laundry separately, every once in a while do it for them to help take some burden off of their to do list. They will love the extra time it saves them and they will most likely use that time to be with you. Doing chores in the house is especially essential for those who are busy. They need help! Doing the dishes or laundry is an excellent way to give love.
#4 Buy them their favorite candyWhen you allow yourself to indulge in your favorite candy you feel like kid again. Allow your lover the same happiness. Buy them their favorite candy just because. It will brighten their day and make them feel cared for.
#5 Let em' relax
When you know that your lover is having particularly busy week secretly plan a quiet night. Make dinner or grab take-out! Rent a movie that they've been wanting to see or put in their favorite movie. Having all of their creature comforts in addition to knowing that you care will put them at ease. Letting your significant other know you care with RAL (random acts of love) is an important aspect of long term relationships. You don't have to plan crazy extravagant things but put some thought into it. It's the little things in life that makes us happy.
