Telling your man what you love most about him is a good start. It’s so easy to make him feel good by giving him a simple compliment…

The way he smiles or takes care of you when you are sick. Guys love to hear compliments just as women do.

We often forget the little moments that would benefit from honest praise. This is easy to fix and a simple way to make him feel appreciated.

2. Watch your actions

Watch what he does for you that makes your life better and easier. When you take the time to notice the simple things, he’s likely to reciprocate those little acknowledgments.

This is very important, as “taking it for granted” is a common argument for couples.

3. Quality time

It’s very important to make time just for the two of you. That means turning off your cell phone and paying attention to it.

A really cool way to spend quality time together is to plan weekly date night. You can choose to spend the night at home or go out for a nice evening at a place you like. It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money!

4. Show your support for him

Supporting you is very important. We all want our partner to be our biggest support. Be the woman he can count on, no matter what.

5. Do little things that show you’re thinking about him

It’s those everyday things you can do for him to say “you are important to me”. If you’re going to make a coffee, for example, bring him a cup.

If he’s had a bad day, offer a massage. This is sure to be something that will make you very happy after a day at work.

6. Listen to him when he wants to tell you something

Listen when your partner shares their opinions or decisions. He needs to be heard before you can offer an alternative idea or opinion.

Do not criticize their decisions or disregard their opinions. He needs you to respect him, and in order to do that, you need to really listen to him first.

We all have a habit of already wanting to give the answer while the other person is still talking.

Listen first, respond later. This will help both of you feel heard, so you can come to a better conclusion.
