As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I often see couples really over complicating relationships, especially around this time of the year. So here's the thing. You do not need to do any grand, elaborate, expensive gestures to make your partner feel loved. Often it's the small daily things we do that have a much bigger impact. Here are a couple of simple, free and easy things that you could do today. See something throughout your day that you think would make your partner smile. Take a picture of it and send it to them. Maybe you see a beautiful sunset or a vintage car or a really cute dog. Send them the picture and let them know you hope it makes them smile. Write a little love note to them on a post it note and leave it somewhere they'll find like in their sock drawer or on their bathroom mirror. Cue up their favorite movie or a TV show they've been dying to watch and surprise them with a phone free at home movie or TV night. Is their bedside table messy? Does their car need a wash? Is the laundry piling up? Pick something that is normally on their to do list and just do it for them. These small acts of kindness and appreciation are easy to do, but they make a huge impact on your relationship.
