Do you do it through words?
How often do you express how much you appreciate your spouse?
Though we're not yet married, my partner really isn't the sweetest guy in the world, I guess he's not really a words person but he tries to show me he appreciates me. When he came over here a few months ago, I cooked a special meal for him and my family. He didn't really express in words that he appreciated the good meal, neither did he say anything about the food during the meal.
But after the meal, on our way to the coffee shop to meet our other friends, he leaned over and kissed me telling me that dinner was great. It really felt good. 
So, how do you show your partner you appreciate them? Do you do it often?

That was sweet of him to think about it later on and make sure to tell you. He may be a bit shy with words...?
On a daily basis I tell my husband I appreciate the things he does, even if he does something everyday. For example, he makes coffee a couple of times a day, pours me a mug, and even puts the amount of sweetener in it that I like, all without saying a word (sometimes I don't even ask for coffee!). I tell him every time he does this that I appreciate him making coffee, and getting it ready for me as well. I'll also remind him on a consistent basis how much I appreciate the things he has changed for me so we could have a good future.
Usually each week at least one card, one email, or one note is left for him to remind him as well. Both my husband and I cook, and we cook at least three meals a day between the two of us. No matter who cooks, it never goes unappreciated. Even when one of us does our "designated household chores" the other usually says something in appreciation. It really keeps both of us reminded constantly that we are appreciated, and because of this, we have a very special and happy relationship. Nothing goes unnoticed between the two of us, even if it really doesn't make us go out of our way.
Best of luck to you and your partner!

This is such a nice thing to read first thing in the morning. Makes me want to just hug my partner whenever I see or read that a relationship is doing well. I just hope that this continues for the rest of your lives and everything wouldn't be or feel routine.
Best of luck and God bless both of you. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

Hi laydee
You know I do appreciate my husband. I will have to say that I am probably quilty for not telling or showing him enough how much I do appreciate him. I think that will be something that I will work on this week. The things that I will do is to give him little sweet cheek kisses, an unexpected hug, and the thank yous for working so hard to keep us living.
Thanks laydee for sharing and pointing out to me that he is a special person in my life.
Have a great day. Keep smiling.

Hi, Laydee!
I show him in every way I can -- words, deeds, thoughts, and anything else that occurs! He deserves all that and more!

It's cute when partners still show that they love each other after several years married to each other. I'm just glad you do that to your husband and he appreciates you for it (for sure!). I hope you continue being sweet with your guy and him to you.
What does he do to show you that you're appreciated?
Thanks for the response, have a great mylot experience ahead!
