You don’t necessarily have to say I love you in order for your partner to feel your affection.
Here are some fresh tips for you to express your love for your partner in a more refreshing manner.
1. Keep any promises that you make.
Remember that mutual trust and respect is always going to be important foundations on which you can build your love on. And with that mutual trust and respect, it’s absolutely imperative that you keep any promises that you are going to make to one another. You have to keep your promise to stay committed to each other. If you say that you’re going to show up at this particular time, then show up on time.
2. Devote a lot of your time to the relationship.
Remember that time is essentially a manifestation of your devotion. The more time that you invest in your partner and in your relationship, the more that you are telling them that they matter to you. In life, we can’t bargain for more time. None of us can. We make the most of whatever time we’re given on this earth. And so it makes sense for us to only want to spend our time with the people and the things that matter the most to us. So if you are spending a lot of time with your partner, you are letting them know just how valuable they are to you in life.
3. Improve your communication game.
Communication is always going to be a very important aspect of any relationship. You can’t possibly have a good relationship if you don’t have good communication habits. When you make it a point to be more open and more honest to your partner about what’s inside of you, you are letting them know that you trust them enough to be vulnerable to them. You are telling them that you are perfectly comfortable with just opening yourself up and letting them have their way with you
4. Don’t be afraid of being physically intimate.
Physical intimacy is very important when it comes to maintaining and building an emotional bond in a relationship. Keep in mind that where the words stop, the actions have to make up for them. You can express your love through your words but you always have to be able to back them up with how you act in your relationship. Otherwise, you’re just someone who is all talk but without the substance.
5. Make eye contact whenever you’re together.
Eye contact means both trust and vulnerability at the same time. You may not be saying it with your mouth, but when you make eye contact with someone, there is a certain comfort and sincerity there that words would never be able to emulate. If you make eye contact with your partner when you’re together, you’re letting them know that you’re focused and that you’ve blocked out all distractions because you’re in each other’s presence.
6. Practice full presence and mindfulness in the moment that you’re in.
Shut out all of the distractions. Let go of all of the noise. When you’re in a relationship with one another, always practice full mindfulness in the present. Sure, it’s nice to reminisce, but you should never let your past dictate how you live your present. It pays to be forward-thinking, but it shouldn’t be taking away from the experience of the present. Don’t take what you have for granted and be grateful for every moment that you share together.
7. Don’t underestimate the value of the little things.
You know that while grand gestures have their place in relationships, you know that great loves are often made up of the little things. You are someone who pays great attention to detail and that’s an effective way of expressing your love for another person. You take a vested interest in the nuances of your relationship because you want to make sure that things can be as perfect as possible.
8. Pay attention to them whenever they talk to you.
Part of effective communication just isn’t about being able to express yourself. It’s also about being able to pay attention to someone. It’s about really opening your ears and mind up to the sentiments of another person. It’s about being able to climb into their skin and walk around in their shoes for a bit. It’s about making a genuine effort to try and see things from their perspective with the intentions of being able to understand them better.
9. Always be kind and sensitive to them.
Kindness and sensitivity can go a long way in a relationship. If you practice being and kind and sensitive towards your partner, it generates a certain affection and intimacy between the two of you that just grows over time. At the base of it all, if you are able to be kind with how you act to your partner and be sensitive with how you communicate to one another, then the relationship is always going to find itself in a good place.
