Maybe Valentine's Day isn't till next year, but that doesn't
mean you can't show your partner some special attention now. In fact, I implore
you to start this experiment. The plan is to show your love for your partner in
a small and different way each day for a whole month and see what magic
happens.
Here are a list of 33 things you can do to express your love. If things aren't good between you and your partner right now, this might be just the thing to slowly melt the ice between you both. If things are already good, this will strengthen your relationship further. By the way, there is nothing expensive on this list so there is no excuse not to give this a shot.

1. Offer a back massage with some good
smelling lotion.
2. Write a poem. Then use Google Translator to translate a poem
into either French or Italian. Then handwrite it out with the translation on
the back side. Or better yet, greet your partner at night and read it to them
with passion and then hand them the translation.
3. While in public, declare "I love
you, Sandra!" (not Sandra, but your partner's name.)
4. Make a CD with a few songs that are
meaningful to your relationship.
5. Invite him to take a bath complete
with bubbles, champagne, candles, and maybe a little Barry White. (the music,
not actually Barry White in your tub.)
6. Surprise her at work and take her
out to lunch, maybe take-out food or
maybe to a little diner, for a midday romantic break.
7. Put together a little gift on his
pillow: chocolate and a note that says "Your love is like chocolate: sweet
and delicious."
8. Dedicate a song to him on the radio
and send him an email telling him when to listen.
9. Cook a special love meal of your
partner's favorite foods. Play his favorite music and turn the lights low for a
romantic dinner.
10. Give your partner a pedicure and
foot rub.
11. Send a text message or email that
says "I love you!"
12. Mail a card and inside write down
the top 10 things you love about your partner.
13. Give him a picture of you for his
wallet that says "I love you."
14. Leave a love note in her car
telling her to have a great day.
15. When your partner least expects it,
give him a great big kiss, even if it's in public!
16. Go see a romantic movie, sit in the
back row, hold hands, and cuddle.
17. King for a Day/ Queen for a Day.
Declare that you will dedicate a particular day just to your partner to do
whatever they want. Maybe start with breakfast in bed.
18. In the midst of talking about how
your days went, the chores that need to be done, etc. interrupt and say "I
have something important to tell you. I love you and here's why." Then
list 5 things (or more) that you really appreciate about your partner. Finish
with a kiss and say, "Ok, so you were talking about the plumber."
19. Write an old fashioned love letter
and mail it. Be romantic and lavish. Have some fun with it.
20. Blindfold surprise. Blindfold your
partner and drive them to the place where you had your first date, and have
that date all over again!
21. Write a love poem for her.
22. Make an early valentine. Cut out
some paper in the shape of a heart. Write something sweet on it in red and put
it in her purse or his briefcase.
23. If your partner is going on a
business trip secretly hide a love note inside their luggage.
24. Invent a meal and name it after him
or her.
25. Record yourself reading a romantic
love poem for your honey. Then give your partner a CD and tell them to play it
in the car on their way to work.
26. Keep a box with special cards,
letters, photographs, and other mementos. On your anniversary or on Birthday take
a little time to share fond memories together as you review the contents.
27. Create a mindmap of
all the things you love about your partner and make it into a card.
28. Take a walk on the beach together.
Run up ahead and write a message in the sand, and then call your partner to see
what you "found."
29. Say "I love you" often,
slowly, and with feeling.
30. Make little "I love you"
posters with either crayons, markers, collage, paint, whatever. Post them in
surprising places: the bathroom, the closet, the car, under her pillow, on her
pillow.
31. Complete that chore or favor that
your partner has wanted you to do for a long time.
32. Be super kind for a whole day. Act
like you would with a new love, a child, or a frail person. Show lots of
kindness, generosity, and love no matter what for a whole day.
33. Take an interest in your partner's
interests. For a woman it might be watching a football game with your guy. And
for men it might be going to see a chick-flick. Do it with a spirit of
enthusiasm and love. Have fun.
Print this out and do one each day. Make up your own. You don't
have to tell your partner that this is something you are doing. Just do it. Who
knows, maybe you'll establish a positive habit of expressing your love on a
daily basis.
