Keeping it fun is key — we know this. So here are 7 ways to show your love to your partner that will make you both smile.
1. Create a “Love Receipt”
Print or draw a fake receipt listing “services” like:
- 1 back rub: $0
- 1 terrible pun: $0
- Eternal patience with your snoring: Priceless
Then hand it over dramatically like you’re billing them for your affection.
2. Leave Notes in Weird Places
Stick post-it notes with cheesy compliments in shoes, the fridge, or their wallet:
- “Your butt still looks great in these jeans.”
- “You’re the peanut butter to my irrationality.”
- “This is your daily reminder that I tolerate you. With love.”
3. Spontaneous Dance Battles
No warning. Just bust out some interpretive dance while they’re doing the dishes. Bonus points if you wear socks and almost wipe out. Declare yourself the “Love Dance Champion.”
4. Ridiculous Nickname Roulette
Start calling each other nonsense names like “Snuggle Wombat” or “Captain Crankypants.” Change it weekly. Act shocked when they don’t respond to “Sir Hugs-a-lot.”
5. DIY Awards Night
Make trophies out of random household items and host a mini awards show:
- “Best Blanket Hog”
- “Most Dramatic TV Binge Reactions”
- “Loudest Sneezer in the Tri-State Area”
6. Text Like You’re in a Spy Movie
Send secret agent-style texts during the day:
“Mission: Dinner. Codeword: Tacos. Rendezvous at 1900 hours. Wear socks.”
7. Over-the-Top Compliments
Act like everything they do is epic:
- “You just folded laundry? Oh my god. Is there a Nobel for that?”
- “You chose what to watch on Netflix? Visionary.”
- “You refilled the Brita? Marry me again.”
