How to Show Your Partner You Love Them — Because Actions Speak Louder Than Words

For the partner who craves physical touch, embrace for a slow dance and let the dance linger, because what's more romantic than that? Make sure to kiss. That will electrify your love's heart in a good way.

Cuddling, sex, undressing each other: the partner who demands physical touch in order to feel loved will appreciate a lazy day at home just making love. All. Day. Long.

For the partner who wants that quality time together, try a bed and breakfast for a night or even for a weekend. If you can't spend the money, just turn the phones on silent and do breakfast in bed right at home. The time focusing on your love will make him or her feel wanted and needed.
