Pamper her with love.

Pamper her with love.
Pampering your wife is a win-win situation.  By serving her with a little love and specialized attention, she is sure to feel refreshed and relaxed.
 

Reconnect at the end of the day.

When you come home from work, find a special way to reconnect with your spouse.  Whether it's a big kiss, eating a light snack together, or going for a stroll, find a way to make their heart melt into yours.

Throw a party.

Find something about your spouse that you can celebrate. Whether it's a new job, a new pet, a finished project, the conclusion of a volunteer position, or a special anniversary,  any reason to celebrate is a good reason to celebrate!

Make dinner together

Nothing builds a relationship like a little team work.  Team up in the kitchen for the creation of a fabulous meal.  One person can prepare the ingredients while the other cooks.  Have fun and enjoy the meal you make together!

Make fun plans

Make fun plans to look forward to in the future.  Check out local event listings for upcoming concerts and shows, or if your are the outdoor type, check out the local state park's event calendar.

Dress to impress.

It is important to dress in a style that is pleasing to your husband or wife (at least once in a while).  They will appreciate it, and you'll love the positive attention that you get from your sweetie.

Determine the Save v. Give ratio

Discuss with your spouse  how much money you both can allocate towards your savings as well as your donations to a non-profit. A very popular method is the 80, 10, 10 method. A couple agrees to live on 80 percent of their income where they save 10 percent and donate the other 10 percent.
