   • For her: “Hey beautiful—just letting you know I’m thinking about you now, as I always am.”

   • “You treat me so well—thank you, my love.”
   • For her: “Thanks for driving me to work yesterday. I’m really grateful to have you as my girlfriend/wife.”

Show your partner how special they are in your eyes by giving them some kind words of affection. Shoot them a text or send them a note saying something like:

   • “You’re brilliant, intelligent, and wise—just talking to you makes so happy.”
   • For him: “Something I admire about you is that you’re a deeply responsible man. You take of yourself, others, and me so well.”
   • For her: “I’m constantly amazed by how kind and perceptive you are. It’s an honor to be able to call you my girlfriend/wife.”

   • “In all my life, you’re one of the best things that’s ever happened to me.”
   • For him: “I never hoped that I’d meet a man as decent and beautiful as you, and I never expected how much this love would change me.”
   • For her: “You’re the woman that’s inspired me to be a better version of myself, just so I can try to deserve you.”

   • For him: “Are you secretly Liam Neeson? I’m taken by you.”

   • “Remember when we went to the beach? I don’t think I’ve ever been happier than when I got to watch the sunset with you.”
   • “Just passed by that Italian place we went to for our first date. I was so nervous! And then, so, so happy.”
   • “Do you remember our first night together? It felt electric, and I don’t think that feeling has ever gone away.”
