How to Express Love to Your Wife
- 1). Say the words. Just saying "I love you," at the beginning and end of the day, after telephone conversations, anytime you can fit the words in, can serve as a verbal caress, reassuring your wife that in spite of all of life's pressures, she still comes first in your eyes.
- 2). Listen when she speaks. It's so cliche that it's become fodder for television comedy, but barely listening while your wife is talking says to her that you don't care. After a while, a chill can develop between the two of you -- an iciness that can consume the marriage and create an inclination toward its dissolution. Even if you are not in the mood to focus on every word, show her you are present by asking questions and staying open to her comments.
- 3). Keep in touch. The sense of touch is healing. Though many fathers are quick to show tactile affection toward their children, they may forget to make the same effort toward their wives. A simple pat on the back or rub of the shoulder lets your wife know you are present, involved and -- to coin a common phrase, "there for her." Don't let a day go by without some physical expression of affection.
- 4). Offer tokens of affection. It might seem corny to you, but gifts of flowers, jewelry, clothing, or even her favorite kitchen utensil help a wife to feel appreciated and cared for. Don't wait for special occasions. Surprise your wife with a seasonal bouquet delivered to her workplace. Or leave a personalized piece of jewelry under he pillow one night. These offerings will become part of the lore of your marriage, and will help fortify the bonds between the two of you.
- 5). Remember important dates, such as anniversaries, birthdays and more. Maybe special occasions don't register with you. But mark them on your calendar, because they usually do matter to your wife. Surprise her with a special dinner at a top restaurant. Or book a hotel for a romantic weekend. Even a carefully chosen greeting card will touch her heart in ways you may not be able to imagine.
