Little things truly mean a lot!\n\nWhen your setting next to him, take his hand and massage it.  While watching TV, sit behind him and massage his back, shoulders and neck.  Leave him alone when he wants to be alone.  Bring him his favorite drink when he's relaxing on the deck.  Don't nag him, communicate with him.  Fix his favorite meals at least once a week.  Give him what he wants sexually.  Listen to him when he wants to complain about a co-worker or boss.\n\nYou know him better than anyone.  There's probably other little things that he enjoys that only you know about.  Use that knowledge and it will bring you both closer to each other.

Well, can only answer for myself, But I would enjoy something or even just a thoughtful gesture from your heart over something thats store baught anyday.  Use your imagination.  Special dinner of his favorite food that YOU have prepared for him, a special evening to just yourselves, make it romantic, make him feel that he is the one and only man that has ever existed in your life.  Remember it is all about him that day.  Start from the time you wake up in the morning till the time you two finally fall asleep that night.  And I'm sure he will be doing something special for you, so be patient and work together so that both of you feel that the plans you have put together have went smoothly and fully.  Good luck and congratulations.

Make her feel special. Personally, I'm not one that wants money or material things - just do little things to make her know that you are thinking about her when  she least expects it. Good luck.

Do everything possible to make her feel special...like she's the only woman on earth you see. Listen to her, and look her deeply in the eyes sometimes. Get her a flower every now and then. Make her feel special.

There are alot of "heartfelt" gift u can give that don't cost alot of money, and women like gift that thought was put into. One gift that is very inexpensive is a scapbook of the life the two of u have shared. Gather pictures of u and her since the beginning of your relationship and put them in a nice scrapbook and write little sayings beside each one on how u feel about her and your relationship, I guarantee she will love it. Keep in mind that with women it's not what the gift "is" but what the gift "says" that means something to us. Good luck :-)

Do something for her that would truly surprise her (in a positive way). Cook her dinner. Make her a card. Buy her 2 dozen roses. Tell her on the big screen of a ballgame. Take her out for a nice dinner, get down on one knee, present her with some sort of jewelry, and tell her how marrying her was the best thing that ever happened to you, and so on. Just be creative. You can do it. You know you're wife the best. You know deep down what she would like. You've just got to sit down and really think. Good luck, Romeo!

Start making a good faith effort to make things go better between you. Then keep making that good faith effort day after day until it pays off. And then keep right on making that good faith effort day after day, or she will feel like you tricked her, and you will be worse off than before.\n\nIn short, there is nothing like a husband who tries hard to make the marriage a good marriage to make a wife feel friendly toward him.

Fix him a nice dinner. Lower the lights, and light candles. After you eat or while you are eating, tell him how much you have enjoyed the time spent with him. Then ask him to play for you and sang some songs if he sangs. Make him feel real special.

If money is really tight, how about a really elegant home cooked meal with candles, soft music, maybe even his music?  Don't watch TV all evening, just cuddle and talk.  Make it a very special occasion you both will remember.  After all the wrapping paper is gone, memories are all that last anyway.  So make a beautiful memory!

I know how you feel... Two of my biggest hits for low-cost heartfelt presents have been: 1. I wrote a "book", which doesn't have to be big, on how they make me feel, the things I love about them, it was like a journal directed at them and about them.  And suprisingly, he loved it... but I think this is for a more serious type of relationship with a mature guy who isn't afraid of feelings.\n2. I created a scrapbook, full of pictures from our time together.  Then I made notes occasionally about how happy I was at that moment, or how great a time we had.  I also included in ticket stubs from concerts or movies... and the little stuff that we keep for whatever reason.  It was a way that we could both look back and see where we came from.\nHope this helps some!

Buy lots of stamps.... Send them little notes in the mail everyday to show them that they are loved and wanted to be around. Hide notes in her/his house for them to find. Hide something that you know means a lot to them, like if they like frogs, buy a stuffed frog, hide it at there place, then the next time they call and are having abad day, tell them where to find it. If they drive a car, put notes on the window at there work or home. Tell them that your life wouldnt be the same with out them. Ask them for help with things. Like painting your room, or there room. A gal of paint is about $10.00, you'll have fun doing it, and lots to talk about during that time. Make a day for just them, take them to their place that they want to go. Call them just to tell them that youre thinking of them.

Well the first thin is is that you both need to be able to:\ncommunicate\ncompromise\ntrust\nbe honest \ngive as well as receive\nbe able to be patient and understanding\nbe able to allow them to have a life away from you as well.\nto want to do things special for one another once in a while. like:\nplan a walk at the beach and have a pic nic\ncall them up on the phone jsut to say "i love you", "i miss you" and/or "I'm thinking aobut you"\nplan a candle light dinner at home\nhave a nice warm bath waiting for their return possibly with( candles, music, oil or bubbles and/or rose petals in tub)\nOn your partners day off, play hooky to spend time with them on cuddling on the couch watching movies and talking.\nIf you two can do this, seek a marriage counselor, counselor will be able to bring up some other importatnt things to thik about, that most people don't seem to think about.

You've heard about how you 'can lead a horse to water'.... You can't 'make' your husband do something he doesn't want to do, no matter HOW much you love him. I do like the idea of the quiet time together with him. If things are to the point of being serious (you said you had been talking about splitting up) then I don't know that being overly affectionate when he comes home is the answer. Nor, is the trechcoat dessert idea (although I DO like that, just not THIS time). I would say go out and get him a card. (not to 'plug' anyone, but I have found some at Hallmark that say almost exactly what I want to express.) Pulling out pictures may be a little unfair.... Give him the card, let him read it, let him tell you (by his words AND expressions)what he thinks and how he feels. If he DOES want to make things work, tell him how much you love him and discuss what it's going to take to make things work. Once that is decided, then work everyday to make those things happen. \n\nGood luck.

The best thing you can do is spend lots of time and attention on her. You don't need anything expensive but something well thought out. Make her know that you are thinking about her. Spend time cuddling, give her a massage. Buy her favorite dessert and feed it to her. Have romantic music on. Dance a little. Spend time alone at home, not out in public. Watch her favorite movie. Read to her romantic poetry about how you feel about her. Spend time kissing her gently and passionately. Have some candles out. Buy her her favorite flowers...you can come up with the rest
