Give your bae your complete undivided attention when he is talking to you. Get away from that pesky phone, put your laptop away, and clear your head of the day’s stress. Give him the same love and attention that you did when you first started dating. Don’t multitask when communicating with him. Make a point to really listen to what he has to say. Whether you both are talking about something meaningful like your
partner’s insecurities or some other insignificant nitty-gritty – like his dislike for pineapple on pizzas – you should be listening intently and remembering all the information.
2. Do A Little Something Kind For Him Every Day
Remember, it doesn’t really take a lot to make someone’s day. Surprise him and whip up his favorite dish for dinner. Slip an “I miss you” or “I love you” note into his lunchbox. Give your bae a genuine compliment on how he looks. These kind and loving gestures can prove to him that he matters to you.
3. Anticipate His Needs
This becomes easier if you have spent a lot of time with him and are in a long-term relationship. Try to predict what your significant other wants before he even knows that he needs it. This will come from understanding his values and requirements. These don’t have to be big or expensive things – little gestures can mean a lot. For example, if he has the habit of forgetting to take his towel to the washroom, keep it on the hook for him. Replace his deodorant/ shampoo/ soap before it runs out. Do these charming little things that won’t take up much of your time but will mean a lot to him.
4. Affirm Verbally That You Care About Him
Practice verbally affirming your love, respect, and admiration for your partner on a regular basis. If you are past the initial “I love you” stage, make sure you are saying those three magic words regularly. You may feel like you are just stating the obvious, but it is worth reminding your SO that you love him. If someone hears something repeated over and over again, they are bound to truly believe it. The more you affirm that you care for your partner, the more it will stick with him and make him feel secure in the relationship.
5. Know His Language Of Love
Does he like physical touch, acts of service, acts of kindness, or gifts? Learn these little things about your significant other and love him right. If you notice that he gives you regular kisses on the cheeks or plays with your hair, you can try doing the same things to him. Find ways of showing affection that both of you are comfortable with. This will help strengthen your relationship.
