These 21 Tricks Will Assist You In Becoming A More Caring Spouse (4 of 4)

Not Keeping Scores

Your relationship is your life and not a football match that you have to keep the scores up to date. If you did something for your partner, it’s not necessary that your partner too should do something of the same magnitude for you. Try and understand that it’s alright if your love has been too busy lately and cannot express their concern for you as often as you do. Rest assured, that they will return the favor as and when they get the time to.

Gifting them flowers

There can be no person who doesn’t get delighted at the sight of a bunch of fresh roses or lilies. The scent of flowers has the power to leave one mesmerized and make us let go of any ill-feeling we may be having for the person we are getting them from. If you can’t decide what to gift your special one on their special day, flowers would be the safest option. They can never go wrong.

Discussing the future with them

Your spouse is one person you should unabashedly be capable of talking about anything with. These should be no filters when you two are engaged in a conversation. And never be afraid of discussing your future with them such as the number of kids you want, when you would want them, how you would like to raise them, where you want to buy a house, and the like.

Giving them space

If you are a clingy spouse, get this straight. This person has chosen you to be their companion for the rest of their life. There is no need for you to always be around them or keeping a watch on them. If you don’t give them enough space, you would be only pushing them away from you and making them lose interest in you. At the same, you mustn’t give way too much space making your partner feel like you’re a distant relative.

Doing a chore

Household chores aren’t the responsibility of just one partner. You may be spending more hours in the office, but that is no excuse for your lack of interest in helping your partner with the chores. Don’t wait for your partner to ask for your help. Do it without being asked and do not expect them to be grateful. It is as much your duty as it is theirs.

Saying “I love you”

The impact of these three words on our mood is often underestimated. Remember how you felt the first time someone told you this? Didn’t you get euphoric? It is a widely accepted fact that no one can ever get bored of being told that they are loved. Never miss a chance to say ‘I love you’ to your spouse.
