Is this one thing going to be a magic pill you wanted? Probably not. But what comes close to the magic pill is generating a sense of closeness and appreciation with your wife by not allowing her to feel she is being taken for granted.

From Physical Evidence

"Talk is cheap" or so it has been said. In the area of romance, talk may be cheap, but it is also necessary. We all need to hear that we are loved and appreciated. And a sincere expression of gratitude is never wrong. However, hearing is just one of the senses. If you can involve the other senses in the expressions of love and gratitude it will be that much more effective and memorable.

The tip for today is to leave a short note of love and gratitude to be found at a later time, preferably when you are not around. Write the note on something other than just white paper. If possible, include some small treat. This small act will involve 4 of the 5 senses: the writing and the paper for the eyes, the feel of the paper and the act of unfolding the note for the sense of touch, the treat for both the taste and smell. When several of the senses are included, the message seems more "real". That is, it seems more sincere and it is therefore more enjoyable and memorable.
