Showing Love

The people we are closest to usually know how we feel about them, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't show them love.

from time to time need to be shown (or deserve) that this is shown to them. Unfortunately, in a relationship of any kind, it can mean not always remembering to do this often.

So if you aren't a naturally sensitive person and have to be creative about how you express yourself, or if you're always full of ideas, there are a few ways you can show someone love.

Showing Love Through Rewarding Words

Kind and rewarding words are like little sweets that warm your heart. In fact, they are very important for building self-esteem and confidence. They can be expressed as encouraging words, compliments or even sweet little nothings.

Here are a few aspects you can appreciate in your partner to show him love:

• Notice when he does something good and has spent time on it.
  
• Appreciate his qualities too, what you admire about him and not what you dislike.
  

Showing Love Through Tenderness

To varying degrees, we all need warm contact with another person. It is a vital need. Harlow, an American psychologist, experimented by placing baby chimpanzees separated from their mothers in a room with two mannequins, one made of iron that dispensed food and the other made of fur but without food. The chimpanzees spent all their time with the fur-covered mannequin, even if it meant starving themselves. Warm contact came before the need to eat.

Contact, touch and tenderness play a very important role in a relationship. They allow you to create intimacy and feel loved. If you don't feel comfortable reaching out to your partner but it matters to him, practice it step by step. Take his hand when you walk down the street, put your arm around his neck, and so on.

Showing Love Through the Things You Do

Some people express their love not through words but through actions. Sometimes it is easier to show love by helping others than by saying "I love you". All those little things your partner does without you being aware of it are proof of love.

Be grateful for these favors and thank them whenever you can. Over time, unfortunately, many couples no longer take the time to say thanks for these little things because they consider them normal. But it doesn't take long, your other half likes it and it keeps them going.
