I found the answers as I read through the most important book I know, I came across these 20 ways you can show your husband or wife or family member or date that you love them. Today, I will share the first 10.
10 WAYS TO SHOW LOVE

10 WAYS NOT TO SHOW LOVE
1. Love suffers long: The minute you get married, you need to learn the number 1 rule: Be PATIENT. If you don't LEARN to be patient, divorce will be your escape route.
2. Love does not envy: If your wife or husband earns more or is more educated at any point in your marriage, it should not matter or come between your love. If it does, then you are immature and you need to get back on the pedestal of love.
3. Loves does not parade itself: You don't need to keep reminding your wife that you are the head of the house. If you do, then you are insecure. Work on your insecurities.
4. Love is not puffed up: I can tell you straight up, love is not proud or boastful. By the time you start acting as if you are in competition with your wife or husband, you are heading for the rocks. Wake up! Start working together instead of against each other.
5. Love does not behave rudely: Speaking rudely to your wife as if she is your slave or talking down at your husband
6. Love does not seek its own: When you think of how to please yourself in your marriage, then you are exhibiting selfish love. You should be desirous to make your wife or husband happy at all times. Imagine both of you trying to outdo each other in the happiness department...how wonderful it would be.
7. Love is not easily provoked: Losing your temper at every given opportunity is a sign you have to work on yourself. Grow up! If you are upset, keep quiet, go for a walk or count up to ten before you speak.
8. Love does not rejoice in wickedness: Make a habit of celebrating your wife or husband when they do something
9. Love rejoices in the truth: Speak the truth at all times. If you cannot tell the truth for some good reason, don't lie. You can keep quiet or say I will tell you when the time is right. Once trust is tainted, it is tough to regain.
10. Love bears all things: Yes, indeed when you are in love with your husband or wife, no matter what he or she does, you can look at the other things they get right and forgive. If you are unable to forgive any wrong-doing, PRAY for the grace to forgive.
