if you are married, engaged, or in a serious relationship…spend time talking with her. If you are a married man like me, my wife likes spending quality time with me where I am actively listening, without my cell phone on, in my pocket, in my hands or near me. Turn off the tv or video games. Turn the music down low or off if needed and focus. Pay attention to her and listen to her every word. Engage in conversation and grow together. It's the words from the conversation and the listening, the focused listening, that really matter. I work to become interested in what ever she wants to talk about. It takes focus and dedication. I better at sometimes than others, but i Need to remind myself to fill her love tank like in the book, "The Five Love Languages," so she not just hears me tell her j love her, but she feels it. Live is more than words, it's action, and from my experience it starts with listening. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others.
