"It's weird that we didn't know each other and might not have met at all. I shouldn't have advertised in the paper 'looking for a good person', should I? Although, why not?"

"I'd open the paper in the morning and call you. I would say, 'Hello, were you waiting for me?'"

"And I'd say, 'Where have you been for so long?"

"And where have you been, too?"

Things to do for your beloved:

-If they can come home for lunch, have a hot meal waiting for them and a glass of water ready. This says "I am glad you are here. Come and rest a while."

-If they must remain at work, pack their lunch the night before. Occasionally add in a surprise such as a love note post-it, a special treat, or a small trinket to make them smile. This says "I appreciate all the hard work you do for us."

-If you are getting up to get something for yourself, ask them if they would like anything. This says "You are just as important to me as I am to myself."

-If you have a whim or desire that is easy to achieve or realistic, share it with them. This says "I trust you to make me happy in many ways".

Your actions as a partner or spouse are just as important as spoken words. Take a moment to consider if there is anything else you could do to make your beloved feel special.
