chores belong to whom. Take the garbage out belongs to the husband. Mowing the grass, husband. Clean the garage, husband. Fixing meals is the wife's responsibility. Laundry is the wife. Cleaning house, wife. It's no different than at a job. Without a distinct responsibility being established who knows if the task ever gets done or not. Simply acknowledging what is your responsibility then satisfying it, can be a real heartfelt expression of love.

6) CLEAN UP BEHIND SELF: This one is especially targeted at the husband. I never really associated with the jokes about men never cleaning up behind themselves until I evidenced it myself. I couldn't believe this man, my brother-in-law, conducted his affairs this way. He was the classical messy husband cartoon. Clothes all over, bathroom a shambles when he was done, dirty dishes left behind wherever he used them. It was pitiful. Guys, just take care of what you create. You will go a long way in expressing your heartfelt love for your wife if you do that one little thing.

5) NOTICE DETAILS: Pay attention to each other. Hair cuts, hair dos, new clothes, new make up, jewelry, shoes. Whatever is different about your mate you need to pick up on and acknowledge. Comment on how nice she looks today or how sweet she smells. Nestled your nose in his chest hair and breath in his manhood. Let him know what that does to you. What color are her eyes? What is her favorite perfume? Where does she have a mole? What brand of makeup does she like the best? What cologne does he wear? Keep an eye on each other and acknowledge the little things.

4) REMEMBER DATES: Anniversary, birthday, first date, first kiss, Valentines Day, remember them and acknowledge them. I know she isn't your Mother but she is the Mother of your children. Mother's Day is her day; show her it is. If you have to make yourself a list of important dates and carry it around.

3) DO LITTLE THINGS: My wife is constantly doing little things for me without even asking me if I want her to or not. We sleep upstairs in a three-story house. When my wife finally comes up to be she quite often brings a snack up with her. She always brings me a snack also. She will bring me out a glass of iced water when I am mowing. If I am sitting there watching television she will stoop in front of me and slip my feet into a pan of hot water, wash them ad trim my toe nails. She just does it; she does it out of love.

2) CASUAL TOUCHES: When you walk by your mate slip your arm around her or him. Rub your partner's shoulders a bit. Grab their hand and squeeze it. Give them a peck on the cheek. I have been known to grab my wife's face, one hand on both cheeks and plant a big one square on her mouth because I can hardly stand it. I see her and I need her. I want her to know that. I want her to feel as loved as I do.

And the number one way to express your heartfelt love for your partner?

1) SAY I LOVE YOU: That's right. Just tell them. Say it over and over again. Say it wherever you are, in front of whomever and under any circumstances. Three little words, I Love You. Whisper it in their ear, say it to their face, yell it across the room. I especially like saying it while our lips are touching. I have her say it back to me at the same time. We hear the love, we feel the love and we smell and taste the love, all at once.

Whatever method you choose to express your heartfelt love for your partner just make sure they always know how you feel. It's important not only to love but also to know you are being loved in return.
