Fun Ways to Show Gratitude in your relationship


Gratitude is something that can carry your relationship far. When you feel grateful for the life you are living, good things happen. However, it is important to not only follow gratitude with actions but also with words.

If done correctly, expressing gratitude in your relationship could lead to the growth of your romantic bond and overall happier life (because everyone wants a happy relationship).

Here are some fun ways – or at least uncommon ones – that you can show gratitude in your own unique way:

1. Write them a love song. You don’t have to be Beyonce or Bruno Mars to come up with lyrics about how much you love them! If anything, this will express exactly how they feel without having to put those three words into a sentence!

2. Leave them random notes with treats hidden in an envelope. This will be a big surprise that says, “Hey, I’m thinking of you!” without having to put into words what’s on your heart.

3. Put together a photo album or scrapbook of memories. Not just ones of you two, but also memories you had individually growing up and how they led to the relationship you’re in today. We can all admit pictures are worth more than 1,000 words – so show them precisely why they mean so much to you!

4. Make their favorite meal one night (or baked goods!), even if it drives you crazy. It’ll be worth it to see the joy on their face as you present them with their favorite dish!

5. Take them on an unexpected date night to somewhere fun. It doesn’t have to be expensive, just something they wouldn’t normally do! 

6. Put together a small gift basket with some of their favorite treats and candy (like conversation hearts, which can be used to start meaningful conversations
