If there’s anything we’ve learned from our favorite rom-coms, it’s that love isn’t perfect. There are hiccups, breaks, and plenty of other things that just make it hard. What’s harder, though, is missing out on someone who’s actually worth it all, that's why it's so important to show your loved ones these little gestures that let them know you truly love them.
If you feel your relationship has become too routine, here are eight ways to remind your partner that you love them.
1. Satisfy their sweet tooth
If you’re great around the kitchen (or not), take some time to bake your partner’s favorite! Whether it be a quick, three-ingredient box of their favorite brownies or a homemade treat you know they’ll adore, it’ll be a great way to remind them how special they are. If you’re not super confident in your baking skills, a fun date idea could be doing this together. Couples that bake together stay together, right? (And it can make for a fun story when you almost burn down the kitchen)
2. Leave notes for them
If it seems you guys just can’t get on the same schedule, leave cute little notes all around their space. Write an “I love you” and leave it on their pillow. Tell them how much you love their cooking with a sticky note on top of their leftovers. When communication feels off, these little additions are a reminder that through it all, you’re still trying.
3. Get them flowers
A bouquet for your loved one is more than a sweet gesture; it’s a romantic cliché we all know and love. Even if your love life isn’t a movie, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have those special moments.
4. Spend the day in their shoes
Whether it be playing video games, watching a season’s worth of their favorite show, or trying their go-to drink, it’s important to acknowledge and respect their interests. Diving headfirst into what they enjoy, even if you absolutely hate it, shows that you love them enough to get uncomfortable. And if we know anything about love, it’s that it’s uncomfortable. Who knows, you might just love it, too!
5. Remind (and show) them just how cute they are
If you feel that your sex life’s getting a bit stale, plan a sexy night of fun for you and your lover. Research new positions you’d like to try, sauce up the room with rose petals, or grab some massage oils. Although sex isn’t everything, it’s a huge part of a relationship that can coincide with your partner’s self-confidence. Being more vigilant about having nights of intimacy can be the spark that gets you both back on track.
