The key is attention—small gestures of love like sweet notes, thoughtful gifts, flowers, and heartfelt words.

Everyone, without exception, needs attention.

Couples who neglect to show love and appreciation for each other often struggle to stay together and experience more frequent crises.

When you give your partner what they need, they feel happy. And when they’re happy, it’s easier for them to bring joy into your life, too.

This makes relationships—whether dating, marriage, or family life—much smoother.

One of the foundations of a happy marriage is emotional closeness and shared positive experiences.

How can you cultivate them?

Love and attention can be expressed in many ways: gifts, compliments, touch and affection, words of encouragement, quality time together, and acts of service.

Want love to last in your home for years to come? Nourish it in different ways.

Many believe love is just a feeling that naturally fills us and inspires romantic gestures. But when that feeling fades, those gestures often disappear, too.

Yes, love starts as a feeling. But if you’re in it for the long haul, you can’t rely on emotions alone—you need to invest in your relationship.

As Erich Fromm once wrote:
"Love is not something natural. Rather, it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and overcoming narcissism. Love is not a feeling—it is a practice."

To maintain love and strengthen your bond, feelings must be supported by actions.

Show your love in ways that speak to your partner’s heart—communicate in their *love language*.

This concept was developed by marriage and family counselor Gary Chapman in his book *The 5 Love Languages*. Here they are:
