10 Actions that show your love better than saying "I love you"

10 Actions that show your love better than saying "I love you"

Saying "I love you" isn't the only way to show your spouse your affection. Here are some creative and meaningful ways to do it!

Saying “I love you” might seem like  a sweet and straightforward way to express your affection and show your love towards your spouse. However, there are a lot of other ways to show your love without saying “I love you”!

1. A kiss first thing in the morning

It doesn’t matter if your spouse has bad breath or not, a simple kiss right as you’re both waking up just makes the day extra special!

2. Send your spouse a text saying “I miss you”

If your spouse is at work, receiving such a sweet text message would make them even more excited to get home so that you can spend some time together!

3. Spend some extra time with your spouse

Spend the whole day with your spouse this weekend instead of going out with your friends. They’ll appreciate the fact that you chose to spend time with them first instead of your friends, and it lets them know that they’re number 1 in your life.

4. Surprise hugs!

Surprise hugs are always awesome. If you see your spouse feeling down and out, why not give them a nice, warm hug to make them feel loved.

5. Put that phone away and talk to each other

These days, people can easily get distracted, especially because of the internet and smartphones. Why not try ti disconnect yourselves for a bit and just talk about anything under the sun?

6. Hold their hand while walking

It might seem cheesy, or something that young couples do, but holding your spouse’s hand gives them a sense of security and warmth. It also gives them the assurance that no matter what happens, you’ll be there for them.

7. Learn to say sorry

If you and your spouse are in a fight, or you say something that inadvertently hurts your spouse’s feelings, then you need to learn to say sorry and be sincere about it.

Saying sorry shows humility, and a willingness to admit your own mistakes. It shows that you love your spouse enough that you’re willing to admit when you’re wrong and that you want to seek forgiveness.

8. Keeping your promises

Promises are sacred, and they should never be broken. Whenever you promise something, it should always be kept, no matter what.

Keeping your promises means that you want your spouse to be happy, and to know that no matter how hard it is, you’ll follow through with everything that you promise.

9. Be there when they’re sad

As a married couple, you made a promise to be there for each other through thick and thin. Whenever your spouse has problems, or they feel sad about something, it’s important that you’re there to support them and make them feel that you’re with them.

It’s one way of showing your spouse that you care.

10. Be proud of your spouse

Their accomplishments and successes are also your accomplishments, so it’s important to show your spouse that you support them all the way. It’s one way of showing them that you love and respect them.
