Ways to show LOVE to your Mate

• Show affection to her – hold my hand, hug me in public or just sitting on the sofa, stroke my hair, rub my back, hold me
• Show affection without having sexual intentions
• Share your feelings with her
• Tell her about your day and challenges
• Ask her about her day and challenges WITHOUT fixing them
• Talk to her without harshness, guardedness or grunting
• Talk with her while not looking at the newspaper, computer, text messages or TV
• POWER Listen to her
• Be a gentlemen…open the doors, let her go first through a door, open the car door for her first, etc.
• Tell her how much you appreciate what she does in your relationship and for the family
• Admit when you are wrong and sincerely apologize (use the apology process we taught you in the training)
• Be the spiritual leader in our home (Men...this is the #1 most requested thing from believers and non-believers (women) in our couples training and with couples we coach)
• Don’t look at or comment about other women…including on the internet, walking down the street, in the restaurant
• Wear your wedding ring to show you are “taken”
• Don’t bring up the “D” word (Divorce) or anything that sounds like it EVER
• Verbally support & honor her in front of others -- even when she isn't around
• Praise her for what she does
• Ask for and value her opinion
• Talk with her in a LOVING tone
• Tell her you love her
• When trying to resolve problems do 3 things: Be friendly. Be friendly. Be friendly.
• When she is talking ASK her if she just needs you to listen or fix it.
