Listen closely to your partner’s words, actions, and moods.
Allow your true feelings and vulnerabilities to show.
Admit to your partner that you haven’t been as romantic as you would like to be and that you’re committed to changing. Ask for help if you think you’ll need it.
Ask friends and family about what they know that makes your partner happy.
Do something to re-create one of your partner’s cherished memories.
Offer support, encouragement and help when your partner is down and overlook mistakes and flaws. Celebrate your human-ness.
Do something to improve yourself: learn time management so you have more moments together, join a gym, or quit smoking.
Give of yourself in an uncharacteristic way: if you’ve never written poetry, try some. If you’ve never given your partner something hand-made, or cooked a home meal, give it a shot.
Try expressing your love the way children do, such as with a dandelion from the back yard.
Do things just to make your partner happy without expecting any sort of reciprocation—especially sex.
