#7. Give them unexpected hugs and kisses
Once a relationship reaches the point when both the people are physically comfortable with each other, and understand each other’s body language – be sure to show physical affection whenever you can.

A gentle hug or kiss when they are working or doing something, will instantly make them smile.
#8. Send sweet textsÂ
Take some time of your day to send a sweet little text or a wholesome meme to your partner. It’s hard to spend time away from each other when both of you are at work, so sending a text shows to your partner that you are thinking of them and missing them.
#9. Be a part of something they enjoy doing
Every person has something they really enjoy doing and sometimes it happens that their partner doesn’t enjoy the same thing. Occasionally take some time to be a part of things they enjoy: be it sports, dance, shopping, or anything.
#10. Listen to their problems and be supportive
Every person goes through a difficult time in their life, be there for them, hold their hand and listen to their problems. Offer to help them if you can, and do something that they need you to do. Most important thing is to that you are present when they need you, and even if you find yourself unable to help then least you can do to reduce the burden on your partner by doing some tasks for them so that they feel better.
