Appreciating The Superstitions

"Kissing my husband goodbye before he goes to work."

"I read somewhere that men who kiss their wives before leaving for work live five years longer than those who don't. So even if I'm not a morning person, I drag myself out of the bed to make sure that I give him a kiss before he leaves for work. It might or might not be true, but I wish to do everything I can so he could live longer because I kinda like him."

"I kiss him when he arrives at work. He will live long."

Using Their Love Language

"There are different kinds of love languages aside from saying I love you. Giving gifts, physical touch, doing acts of service or nice things for them, and spending quality time. I think for me, time is such a selfless love language, because you’re showing that person that they are actually worth your time. And it doesn’t have to spent doing anything extravagant."

Small Things

"The best way is to show how you care."

"Eg, you're making a coffee or cup of tea and you make one for them without asking, because you already know they'll say yes if you ask."

"Or they're working outside in the sun and you come out with a cold drink for them."

"Small things that show you're thinking about them."

Chores

"I cleaned out the cat’s litter box so you don’t have to."

– DrFridayTK

"According to my wife... Doing the dishes."

– Doright36

"Came home from work yesterday knowing I had to do laundry."

"In my apartment complex that just means walking up a flight of steps, walking down an outdoor hallway, and unlocking a door to the laundry room. But it's such a pain in because you have to set alarms for yourself and come back out to move the clothes to the dryer and collect them before you even get to worry about folding them."

"So yesterday I came home from work and my bf had done my laundry for me. He didn't fold it, but it was sitting, clean and done, by our bed ready to be folded and put away. No alarms, no trips, just a quick little in-place chore and it was over."

"That to me is love."

– wscuraiii

Well, after all, actions speak louder than words.

It doesn't have to be all about action, however. Just finding a new way to say, "I love you" can do wonders for you and the people you love.
