38. Look at your partner and tell them you love them

Look at your partner and tell them you love them. Not quickly, on your way out the door. Not half-halfheartedly. Look them in their eyes and tell them with intention.

39. Take on a new hobby together

Taking on a new hobbie together means quality and enriching time together. Plus, you’ll both learn something new! Try cooking, geocaching, or salsa-dancing.

40. Leave them a message on the mirror

The writing’s on the wall! Leave a heartfelt message for your partner on the bathroom mirror in lipstick or shaving cream. Just volunteer to clean it off once they’ve appreciated the gesture.

41. Indulge the sweet tooth

Indulge your partner’s sweet tooth by remembering to pick up their favorite candy bar when you’re at the grocery store or gas station. It doesn’t have to be a fancy box of chocolates to make your partner’s day. They’ll appreciate the unexpected treat and smile at the fact that you recalled what their favorite candy is!

42. Handle the grocery shopping

If your partner generally handles this task, lighten their load by taking the shift for them. Simply ask for a grocery list, and tell them you can handle the rest!

42. Plan a picnic

What’s more romantic than a good ole’ fashioned picnic? Enjoy the process of cooking together, or, prepare the whole thing yourself and surprise your partner by having everything ready to go. You can venture to your local park or natural preserve, or, simply have it in your backyard.

43. Pay attention to the little messes

Pay attention to your little messes. Putting your dishes in the dishwasher might be easy to remember, but what about the table where you eat? Do you tend to leave crumbs everywhere? Stray bottle caps? Do you have a bad habit of leaving the toilet seat up? The small things add up, so becoming cognizant of them can make a change that will be noticed by your partner.
