Updated on March 16, 2011

For Desiree

A strong love relationship can be a powerful force within a person’s life, but it takes work and a lot of smiling to keep it strong. Here is a list of 101 ways to show how much you love that special someone in your life and remind them just how important they are to you.


1. Write your partner love poetry, no matter how bad you may think it is.

2. Send flowers randomly, even if only digital ones.

3. Cover the bed with rose petals (for no apparent reason other than love)

4. Make time to spend hours just kissing. Kiss until dawn. Make the sunrise special.

5. Make every kiss count. Show your passion and love.

6. Ask your love to tell you about some place that they lived in the past.

7. Hold your partner’s hand in public.

8. Tell your partner that you love them at least once every day.

9. Cuddle and hug while you sleep.

10. Kiss your partner’s forehead

11. Wear clothes that you know your lover likes.

12. Take your partner camping– just the two of you. Stay out under the stars.

13. Involve yourself in your partner’s favorite hobby.

14. Show your appreciation for the things your lover does. Remember to say “thank you.”

15. When you use a photo of yourself online, use one that has your partner in it as well.

16. Write little love notes and leave them where your love will find them.

17. When making love, take it slow. Kiss every inch. Spoil your partner.

23. Smile whenever you are around your lover. Show them how happy they make you.

24. Write your partner a real love letter on paper and mail it to them, even if you live at the same address.

25. Remember all of the days that are important to your lover (birthdays, valentines’ day, anniversaries, first dates, proposal day, etc.)

26. Keep a picture of your partner in an area where you spend a lot of time. Find a way for your partner to find out about it (without telling them directly.)

27. Get the door, pull chairs out for your lover, etc.

28. When things need to be bought (anything from coffee to groceries) have the faster credit card.

29. Whenever you see your lover backtrack on what they’re going to say or change who they are for you, smile, acknowledge it, and tell them that they don’t need to change. You love the person that they already are inside.

30. Dance together. If you can’t dance, take a class together.

69. Tell your lover that they are the only person you want to be with. Ever.

72. Make a point to celebrate family holidays and special occasions with your lover.

92. Go on a road trip together. Just the two of you.

93. Keep a positive outlook on life– at least while you’re around your lover!
