Saying, \u201cI love you\u201d, bringing home roses, getting a card\u2026 those are some of the more common ways to show your special someone that you love them. But there are SO many more ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are just as many ways to show someone you love them as their are people in the world to love. You can use words, touch, small gestures, gifts, time, or routines. Showing the one you love just how much they mean to you can be done in little ways or big ways. But all the ways add up and can really show you care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 50 more, simple, ways to let your significant other know you love them…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Hold hands.
\nWhile you\u2019re in private or in public. It shows the person you’re with and the world that you love each other!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Take them out on real dates.
\nSet aside date nights. \u201cThis gives you an opportunity to express your love and affection,\u201d says dating and relationship coach, Kemi Sogunle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Plan to stay in.
\nTake a break from having to go out. \u201cThis trend is everywhere from the Nordic idea of hygge (to get cozy) to Netflix and Chill,\u201d says Romance and Lifestyle expert, Anne Chertoff<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Choose them over your friends.
\nNothing says I want to be with you more than your significant other choosing you over their friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Ladies, clean up after yourself.
\n\u201cGet those gross hairs out of the drain. Guys hate that,\u201d says Stacey Greene<\/a>, Author of \u201cStronger Than Broken.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Guys, clean up after yourself.
\nWash those whiskers, toothpaste, and anything else your girl doesn\u2019t want to see first thing in the morning down the sink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Choose an experience as a gift.
\n\u201cGive a gift that can be shared, such as tickets to the theater or a wine tasting class,\u201d says Chertoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Share your dreams.
\nYour dreams are something powerful and personal. \u201cOpening up about them to your partner shows you trust and love them,\u201d says lifestyle blogger, Amanda Maxwell<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Initiate more sex.
\nDon\u2019t just do it when you\u2019re feeling in the mood, work harder on helping your lover get in the mood. It shows you\u2019re dying to get intimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Unplug when you’re together.
\nFocus on your loved one and not your phone. \u201cIf that\u2019s too difficult for you, mutually decide on one photo\/moment for the evening to put on social. Then fully focus your attention on each other,\u201d says Chertoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Share words of appreciation.
\n\u201cSend a love note, a text during the day just because, express acknowledgment, and give appreciation,\u201d says Rebekah Beneteau<\/a>, a sex and intimacy coach<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Give her flowers.
\nRoses are the most popular, but there are so many other varieties. \u201cTry tulips to surprise her. They are just as colorful and beautiful,\u201d says Chertoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Give a handmade gift.
\nThis is a timeless trend that comes straight from the heart. Handmade gifts will always be treasured because of the time and energy you put into the gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Leave an encouraging note in their lunch.
\nJust like mom used to do for us when we were kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Call or text throughout the day.
\n\u201cLet him or her know you are thinking about them,\u201d says Sogunle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. Always say “Honey, I’m home” the moment you walk in the door.
\nOr whatever your equivalent is. \u201cThose little things show they aren’t being taken for granted,\u201d says Greene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. Make their favorite meal.
\n\u201cKeep the menu simple; add a great bottle of wine, candles, flowers, and music. It’s about the effort!\u201d says mother-daughter matchmaking duo, Janis and Carly Spindel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18. Schedule a workout together.
\nA couple that sweats together stays together, so plan a run, workout class, or hike together. Perhaps even a series or a one-time dance class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19. Wash your spouse’s car without being asked.
\nWho doesn\u2019t like watching someone they’re into get all wet and sudsy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20. Get sexy gifts.
\n\u201cGifts such as sexy lingerie (you can even buy them for yourself and wear them as a surprise) are always a fun and unexpected way to spice things up,\u201d says Spindel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21. Go out with their friends and family.
\nNothing says I love you like voluntarily making plans with your S.O. and their family or friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22. Bring home their favorite food.
\n\u201cEven if you’re a vegetarian, buy her favorite meat when it’s your turn to shop,\u201d says Greene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23. Start a savings account together.
\n\u201cThis lets them know you want a nice long future with them,\u201d says Greene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24. Support them as they pursue their goals.
\n\u201cAsk them questions about how their goals are going, ask how you can help,\u201d says Laura VanderDrift<\/a>, relationship expert and assistant professor of psychology at Syracuse University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25. Show appreciation for the little things.
\nGive a gift of love no matter how small it is. It can be anything from a single rose to a favorite candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

26. Surprise them.
\n\u201cYou can plan a weekend getaway or a trip as a surprise,\u201d suggests Sogunle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

27. Go for a drive.
\n\u201cMy wife is a stay-at-home mom, so she really enjoys getting out of the home, especially going for long drives,\u201d says husband, father and entrepreneur, Ben Fremer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

28. Make a photo album.
\nPrint out some of your favorite memories together and put them into an album. Something that you can always flip through and something that always says, I love being with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

29. Make her\/him a priority.
\n\u201cAnswer your partner’s texts no matter what you’re doing. Make time for them first,\u201d says relationship expert, Mary Jo Rapini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30. Help with the kids!
\n\u201c[Faith] is our young daughter. I guess my wife feels more loved the more I am involved with our daughter,\u201d says Fremer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

31. Show gratitude.
\nSay thank you every day for even the littlest of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

32. Make breakfast in bed.
\nNot only do they get to stay in bed and enjoy your fabulous breakfast but you can, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

33. Do at least one thing each week that you don’t necessarily love doing but your partner loves.
\nThis is called sacrifice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

34. Host an event together.
\nIt can be as simple as having friends over to watch a movie. \u201cHosting an event together is a fun way to play Mom and Dad,\u201d Maxwell says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

35. Prepare a bath.
\nImagine how your significant other will feel seeing a nice warm bath waiting for them after a long day at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

36. Spend quality time together.
\nPlan a romantic date doing something you both enjoy like a picnic or a walk in the moonlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

37. Give physical gifts.
\n\u201cJust make sure it’s something you know your partner wants,\u201d says Beneteau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

38. Listen.
\n\u201cNo matter how small or insignificant their conversation may seem. You don’t need the answers… you just need ears,\u201d says Rapini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

39. Touch them.
\n\u201cThis can be non-sexual cuddling, a caress on their arm as you walk by, or a light massage,\u201d says Beneteau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

40. Book a spa night.
\n\u201cAs a date: co-ed massages are sexy and relaxing,\u201d says Spindel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

41. Send them surprises at work.
\nIn the midst of emails and meetings, who wouldn\u2019t love getting a special delivery from their special someone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

42. Get tickets.
\n\u201cTake your S.O. to the new show\/movie that they’ve been hinting about,\u201d says Spindel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

43. Be vulnerable.
\n\u201cWhen you love someone you trust them with your soft side. If you’re guarded or defensive your partner feels rejected,\u201d says Rapini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

44. Share your passions with them.
\n“Ask them if you can join them doing something you know they love,\u201d says VanderDrift. Or invite them to join you doing something you really enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

45. If you’re religious, pray with each other.
\n\u201cI think my wife and I both know that our evening prayer is like a way to affirm our marriage commitment each night,\u201d says Fremer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

46. Ask how their day was.
\nAnd listen to the answer. Do it everyday to show you really care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

47. Celebrate their success.
\nWhen they\u2019ve had a success, even if it’s just a good day or completing a project at work, celebrate it. It shows you’re in it together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

48. Do the chore that they hate.
\n\u201cI personally HATE breaking down cardboard boxes and my boyfriend knows that and will always do it for me without me even having to ask him,\u201d says Maxwell. Now that’s love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

49. Find things to do together that are new for you both.
\n“Experience them for the first time together,” says VanderDrift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

50. Write each other love cards.
\n\u201cWhen we fight and want to make an apology or just are feeling the love in our relationship, we like to document it in writing with a cute card,\u201d says Maxwell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
