Words of affirmation - Do be generous of your kind and loving words and compliment your partner as often as you can.
These will inspire your other half and will keep him or her glued to you.
Quality time - Spend your free time together.
Whether just in the house or outdoor, what's important is you are there to be with your partner.
Make sure to set a "we" time each week away from distractions.
This way, you can savor your precious moments that will allow you to be more connected than before.
Receiving gifts - Although there's a saying that it's better to give than to receive, receiving gifts from your spouse can boost one's confidence and feelings of love.
Acts of service - Couples need to share their responsibilities as much as possible.
In the house, doing acts of service, notably on the part of the husband, is a great way of expressing one's love.
One should do this without being told what to do.
Physical touch - While verbal expressions of love should not be forgotten, physical touch is as important.
It should go beyond the bedroom.
Some people may not be the touchy type but if you learn to share those caresses, hugs and pats on the back with your partner even just in the home, they could go a long way in keeping your marriage alive.
