Never underestimate what a simple compliment can do to help your better half feel better. 

Once in a while, tell them, “You look so cute, honey!” or if you’re trying to be more specific, highlight a feature about them that you love so much. For example, if they’ve been working out more often, tell them how amazing their arms/legs/body looks. 

It’s specific to them and it makes them feel special. 

The key here is to make jokes together, not about each other. Not only does it help you guys bond, but you’ll also be really happy. 

This one can be a little tricky but, if you’re able to keep it a secret, it could work. 

While you’re out and about, make it a point to touch them once in a while. Whether it’s on their arm, their thighs or if you’re feeling cheeky, on their butt, do it so you can maintain that level of playfulness and cheekiness in the relationship. It keeps things exciting and fun too. 

Even if you’re out with friends (especially if these friends are yours and not his), make it a point to include your other half in conversations and let them know they’re important and special to you through subtle cues. 

Whether it’s a subtle brush of their thigh or a longing look, these little actions send loving messages to your other half to let them know that they’re important to you. 

Every once in a while, give your other half a little kiss on their face to let them know how special they are to you.
