I show love with a good morning hug, an action that symbolizes my love, support and hope for a beautiful day … everyday.
Beautiful, Rosana. I love the way you express it – “setting up the day” and “everyday”. Such a wonderful feeling of steadfastness and love.
I love starting the day while still in bed, rubbing his shoulders and then he would rub my head and shoulders. Then ask what he would like to Intend for the day and share what I would like to Intend. This way I honor him and let him know I care about what he wants to intend for his day.
I love the honoring and intention, Morgine. Thanks for sharing here.
Even for a brief outing, we always hug before one of us leaves the house.
Hugs are great AND memorable. Thanks for sharing this.
Listen… don’t Fix. I’ve learned (well, most of the time) to listen without judgment and allow my partner to voice how she feels. Most of the time she just wants a sounding board and I need to say nothing. My routine is… Nod, Smile, Hug.
I love the “nod, smile, hug,” Julie and I acknowledge your listening. One of the most special things we can do, especially during those times when we are “chomping” to say something; then know that’s not the intent of the “sounding board” listening.
I show my love each morning before getting out of bed, giving a Metta meditation of compassionate to myself and all beings.
What a great way to start the day, Cindy. Thanks for sharing yours.
I show love by holding hands with my husband in a concert or theatre and by giving a hug when I can.
I show my love through actions throughout every day that demonstrate my feelings. This takes the form of hugs, touches, notes in breifcases or lunchboxes, going out of my way to do something needed and just being alert to opportunities to give praise and express gratitude.
I make it a point to compliment how she looks and acknowledge something she has done well. There are so many opportunities to do this. It’s simple and easy and she knows how important to my life she is.
Our morning snuggle before getting out of bed goes a long way to reassure us both that we’re facing the day together.

Thanks for sharing here, Rosemary, Lorraine and Rick. I’m feeling warm and fuzzy all over feeling all your touches and hugs for/with your partners. I’m also appreciating the blessings you are for one another in your relationships.
I show my love by just being there for my husband and listening. We are celebrating our 25th Anniversary next month and I have always made a point of getting up with him and having coffee before he leaves for work. Sometimes this was at 4am in the morning but now at least we get up at 5.30 am!
I’m in awe of your commitment and dedication in showing your love, Sue, especially with getting up at 4:30 AM. Thanks for sharing here. An early, Very Happy Anniversary. Fully enjoy however you choose to celebrate the milestone year.
I show love to my spouse by really listening. I stop whatever I am doing and engage fully in what she is saying. I then make sure to validate her thoughts/needs by taking action, such as vacuuming without being asked!
I show love by…
Being caring and loving, always starting and ending the days with I Love You, placing sweet notes in his lunch, always hug/kiss before he leaves for work, date nights and hopefully soon I’ll show my love by learning how to cook.
I love this positive blog!
Thanks for the laugh (out loud), Angie – “Hopefully, soon I’ll show my love by learning how to cook.” I’m still smiling. How long have you been married??? Given cooking has never been a favorite of mine, I particularly honor your husband, especially if he’s been cooking and enjoying showing his love for you in that way.
I appreciate your sharing here and your comment on this blog.
We will celebrate 16 years this New Year’s Eve! He’s so great to me.
Glad you got a chuckle out of it lol
Wonderful!
I show love through the small actions in every day life, things like making my partner cups of tea in the morning, packing his lunch (not everyday), a foot rub, going out of my way to the shop if he needs something. He does the same for me. We have always thought that actions speak louder than words so we take every small action we can to share that 🙂
Thanks so much, Jedha, for adding the special touches you and your husband do for each other.
