It’s important to find the small ways throughout each day to make your partner happy.
—
We all want to feel loved, appreciated and happy in our intimate relationships. When we feel like our partners truly understand us and our needs, the good vibes and positive energy are infectious.
It’s usually just the little daily gestures of love that mean the most.

It is easy, however, to forget the small things that make our partner happy. Most people overcomplicate this concept and try to think long and hard about what they should do to please their other half. Although putting time and effort into planning something big and exciting is always appreciated, it’s usually just the little daily gestures of love that mean the most. Here are 15 simple ways to make your lovely lady happy today.

1. Send her a nice message.
Send her a cute text in the morning. Tell her good morning and tell her she’s beautiful. By wishing her a wonderful day first, it lets her know that she is top of your mind. My partner tells me every time I do this that it makes her day.
2. Buy her flowers.
If gifts or physical gestures are what make your girl feel appreciated–flowers are great! Something as simple as buying her flowers will make her smile and feel loved. If you want extra credit, stop and pick them from a field. It will show that extra effort you put into it.
3. Bring her lunch.
If she is working today, and you can get to her work around lunchtime, surprise her with food that you know she loves. Just like us guys, food is always a great idea. She will love being able to see you and not having to leave and get food during the busy lunch hour even more!
4. Tidy up the house.
If you are at home today there are some things you can do around the house that she usually does, do them. Cleaning the bathroom, cleaning the kitchen, picking up around the house will surely make her happy.
5. Give her a call.
Giving her a quick phone call to tell her you love her and that you hope she is having a good day will make her instantly smile.
6. Plan the evening out.
Taking ownership of a night out is a great way to switch things up if you usually don’t as well as build some excitement for her. Leave a dress or outfit you love on her next to a note on the bed that says something like ‘I love this dress on you–put it on and be ready to leave for our surprise date night at 7pm.’ Guaranteed massive brownie points.
7. Make her coffee or tea.
One of my favorite things to do for my partner is to make her coffee in the morning. I love bringing her a cup and seeing the big smile of appreciation on her face. Just make sure you know how she likes her coffee/tea–for months I thought I knew exactly how to make coffee until I found out she poured out the cup when I wasn’t looking, and she never said anything because she didn’t want to burst my bubble.
8. Make her breakfast before work.
If she enjoys breakfast in the morning, while she is getting ready for work, you can be in the kitchen whipping up her favorite dish/cereal. She will absolutely love that you went through the effort to make her breakfast when she didn’t have the time or didn’t have to herself.
9. Make her feel special by greeting her.
Whether she is coming home from work, or you are coming home from work and she is at home, make the first greeting special. Go up to her, make her your full attention and greet her with a genuine compliment and hug and kiss. Show her you are excited to come home to her.
10. Run her a bath.
Running her a regular bath or bubble bath will make her instantly happy. You can go the extra mile by putting her favorite magazine/book near the bath and making her a cup of tea to enjoy while relaxing.
11. Set out her toiletries for after her bath.
Setting out her toiletries that she uses before she goes to bed is something so small but will show that we’re thoughtful. Setting her toothbrush out with toothpaste already on it or setting her face wash out ready to use, is something small but thoughtful that you can do to make her happy.
12. Compliment her on something and be sincere.
Whether you are complimenting her on her appearance or how her hair is today or you are telling her a nice thought you had about her, be sincere. It will make her feel good about her herself.
13. Do the laundry.
When you get time to spend together after work, spend it WITH her.

If you have time and see that the laundry needs to be done, do it. Just doing that small chore and folding her clothes after it is done, will make her feel less stressed and happy that she has you there to help her when she needs it without her having to ask.
14. Spend time with her when you are home together.
When you get time to spend together after work, spend it WITH her. Focusing more on spending time with her and not with other distractions will make her feel happy.
15. Cuddle with her.
You may not be a big cuddle person, but sometimes you have to suck it up and cuddle with her. It makes her feel safe and loved. So just do it! It will make her happy.

From my experience, these things can be done with everyone’s busy schedules. The important thing is to find the small ways throughout each day to make your partner happy. It will strengthen your relationship tremendously.
