I am not a relationship expert. However, I have talked to quite a few and it turns out, young people have got it all wrong. When it comes to relationships, we often get confused by grand gestures and often neglect the most important things in life. It is not the grand gestures that count, it is the millions of tiny ones that really do, and say 'I love you' without actually saying the words.
And that is what parent blogger Amy Betters-Midtvedt recently shared her blog post on Facebook. It resonates with many women who have been in a relationship for a long time, and everyone, including Amy, says the same thing - it is easy to spot if your husband is going to uphold his 'till death does us part' end of the bargain.
