Another small thing that goes a long way: preparing the other person’s toothbrush in the morning or in the evening. It’s a gesture that only costs you five seconds of time, but it’ll show your partner that you thought of them, too.
Pillow Talk
Don’t just get to bed and go to sleep. Take some time to talk to each other, whether it’s about your work or more serious stuff like your concerns and plans for the future. Our lives are so busy these days that this is one of the few moments you have to have some undisturbed and relaxed conversation with your partner.
Say Thanks
Gratitude is the cornerstone of every relationship with every human being in your life, so I don’t know why you’d think your actual relationship would be any different. Be thankful for the little things your partner does and let them know that you’re thankful by explicitly saying so.
Spoil Each Other
Instead of looking at what chores your partner hasn’t done, try a different approach. See the things they have done and try to out-nice them. If you turn it into a contest of who can be nicest, you’ll both end up in a much more fulfilling relationship, and it won’t feel like you’re doing chores anymore. You’ll be doing favors for your partner.
