5 Overlooked romantic gestures your spouse will appreciate

Grand displays of affection are nice and all, but what ever happened to the little things?

While they tend to get overlooked in favor of bigger, more glamorous displays of affection, the little things still mean a lot in a marriage.

These are some of the most overlooked little romantic gestures that your partner will appreciate. Try out the entries on our list, and bring a smile to your loved one's face!

Breakfast

The best way to win anyone's heart is through their stomach! Try surprising your partner with a specially prepared breakfast.

It can be in bed, it can be on the counter —just surprise them with the most important meal of the day! This isn't just a sweet romantic gesture...it's delicious

Ban phones at the dinner table

Nobody likes having a conversation with a brick wall. Couples who fiddle with their phones at the dinner table are robbing themselves of great intimate conversations and quality time together.

Make a promise with your partner to ban phones at the dinner table and have a nice romantic meal with each other. It may sound silly, but this gesture helps strengthen relationships!

Handle the boring stuff

Roll up your sleeves and put in some extra work! Handling the arduous and monotonous tasks around the house will make time for you to spend with your partner, and will eliminate tasks that they had to complete.

Your spouse will appreciate all your effort and hard work, and who can't appreciate the gift of not having to work?

Make them a mixtape

Realistically, you can't call it a mixtape since you won't be using a cassette tape. But, it's the thought that counts.

Music lovers will especially love this overlooked gesture! It's a great way to share new and old music with your spouse. And a great way to keep you on their minds!

Make a playlist of your favorite shared songs and bring some musical joy to their life with this one simple gesture.

Little love notes

Surprising your loved one with a simple love letter or note can make their day.

Imagine having a rough day at the office and finding a simple affectionate note hidden in your briefcase or bag. It sounds simple, but small gestures like this will make you appreciate your partner more than you already do.
