      Think of your happy moments together, time when you both did silly things for each other, etc… Once in a while, tell your spouse you miss/love him/her (with sincerity please)…how many people actually do that at least once a week?

        Hi,


        Try to start with dating. Weekly dating will let both of you relive those dating days…and slowly but surely, you will find that the lovely dovely feeling back…

        Hope it helps!

          Me! Sweet talk is minimum effort with maximum return. My dh always said I'm all talk only while he ends up with all the actions (house chores) :evil:

          He likes my sweet talking anyway, despites what he said :love:


          By the way, just to qualify, I do lots of house chores too

            I tell my spouse I love him and he looks at me and just nods. He is a good man, just not expressive. Sigh.

                  My husband travels 85% of the time so our relationship is maintained via sms, whatsapp, email, Skype …so thankful for technology.

                    Ya, need to be trained…I have been reading 5 languages of love and leaving the book around and trying to love him in his love language so far he is loving it but still not saying I love you but I guess I have to accept it. At least he is a good man.

                      Wah..very hard to maintain but you both make so much effort, sometimes its really true that absence also makes the heart fonder but I know for myself, if my husband travels so much, I will find it very hard to maintain a close relationship so really :salute: you
