Since we moved to a different area our schedule has changed a lot. So my husband likes for me to go to work super late so that way we are all able to spend time together as a family. This usually means that I don't go to work as soon as he gets home like I use too. Instead he keeps our daughter busy while I finish up supper and then we eat supper together. Spend time together before our daughter has to go to bed. Then we watch a movie and then I go to work when he goes to sleep. That for me makes for a long day but that is a small way I can show him my love since he wants me to do that.

Those are nice things that you do and it shows how much you care for him. It is great when we have to be a little creative in what we do to show our love. Because sometimes we don't have the money to buy things. I'm hoping to be able to think of a neat basket to get him as a gift. I'm still thinking of different things I would like to put in there.

That is so sweet. I am single and I am wishing that I could feel that too. Now I am beginning to think like I am in a fantasy world. The last time I show my love to my ex boyfriend is when I did draw something on images from Adobe Photosphop. All sleepless night just to create beautiful images just for him, but he didn't appreciate it. Maybe he's not artistic like me. He does not know all about arts or maybe he didn't like it. He doesn't even like anime. There is nothing I can do about it.

Sorry to hear that your ex boyfriend didn't appreciate what you did for him. That would be frustrating. Sometimes my husband can get that way when I buy him things. He would just complain and say that I shouldn't be using the money for those things. So I just have to do something else that doesn't cost a lot because otherwise he will not be able to appreciate it since he is always so worried about our financial situation.

I send funny love text messages when i am at work. 
not on a regular basis though just to surprise him. or whisper naughty jokes in the middle of the street.
actually, there are a lot of small ways one can do or say. it's always, always sweet to do these things. after a long marriage, monotony could set in, but it can be remedied, and what better way is to show him or her in small loving ways that he or she is loved.

I agree with you. It is good for us to do these things. Yes life and marriage can seem to be the same old thing after awhile. So it's good for us continue to strengthen our relationship with our partner/spouse so that they know we still care about them and view them as an important part of our life.

Since my boyfriend is so far away, it sometimes gets hard to show love because we aren't able to see each other for months. What I usually do is send him nice messages every once in a while so when he wakes up he can have something nice that I said to him. For his birthday and for Christmas I sent him packages with gifts inside so he would have things to open up.
Even if it's not much, I try to do what I can to let him know that I'm still here at home waiting for him and that I love him.

Showing our love towards those who deserve it is an art. When you know it's real, or maybe pure enough to be shown you have to show it. When you love someone just be yourself. Don't play roles and don't try to act like a cliche lovers you've seen in movies or shows. Show your love to others by showing your love for what they really like or or to what interest them.

I agree with you. It is good for us to be ourselves. To show interest in what they like and want to do. This definitely does show that person how much we care about them. I hope to be able to continue to do different things to show my husband that I love him.
