- Communication
Talk about everything and anything, and do it every time in every imaginable way. It could be calls, texts, emails, comments on social media, etc.

With your partner, set time aside every week to create your own special activity. Think simply and nothing extravagant.
- Give each other genuine compliments
Make sure to link your compliment to something you genuinely feel. Be authentic and specific with your compliments.

Words of affirmation are just positive words and phrases that are used to uplift someone. So if your loved one is feeling low, offer them affirming thoughts.

Always shower your loved ones with gifts and small gestures, be it on an anniversary, birthday or any special occasion.
