For you if you have partner whose love language is Quality Time.

1. Give 20 minutes of daily focussed attention to each other.

No distractions, no phones, no TV, no kids. Just the both of you. You choose to talk about anything, the topic is anything below the sun. It's time get to know each other at a deeper level.

2. Actively listen and Empathize (Quality Conversation)

When your partner shares her problems and issues, refuse to interrupt and just listen. Ask questions and ask "How do you feel?" Put yourself in their shoes and feel what they feel.

3. Learning to talk (Self-revelation)

Share your emotions and feelings to your partner so that they understand you more and deeper. If you don't know your emotions, write down 3 events a day and what do you feel about those 3 events. Share to your partner.

4. Plan one activity in a week together

This is very doable. Ask your partner what activity does he/she wants to do with you. Plan a time for it, do it on this week itself! Do it, even if you don't like it, because you love him/her.

Note: Make sure your partner knows you don't like to do it yet you're willing to do it, because you love him/her.

5. Document your love

Take pictures and hang them on the walls where you can see everyday.
Collect souvenirs of different places you've visited together and display them.
Keep notes that you've written to each other and read them from time to time.

6. Give gifts that contains your intentions and thoughts

The price doesn't matter here. The gift symbolizes your attention, care, effort and love to your partner. Observe what your partner likes and you'll know what to buy next 😊

If you can't afford a gift, make one. DIY gifts sometimes are more touching. Surprise them by giving gifts at the most unexpected timings.

7. Gift of Self

Be present and stay by your partner's side during difficult times. Your presence tells them that you care, you make time for them, and you love them. Lend them your shoulders if they cry, your ears if they confess and your eyes if they need attention.
