Appreciation

Appreciate!! It’s been bugging me so much that it’s even on my list of things to do, but it’s one of those things that if you don’t make an effort to do it, it will never happen.

Appreciation is required in both professional and personal life. It comes in various forms. It could be verbal, or conveyed with some action or with some reward or a gift. There are just too many ways to put across appreciation.

When it comes to relationships, it is not easy! We often hear people say, ‘Even if I say thank you, it doesn’t seem to matter’. Why is it so??? Appreciating someone who is your life partner is a very sensitive concern (Especially, if you are a guy).

Flattering does not work always. And not all beautiful girls are brainless!! Here are a few ways (NOTE: They are just my personal opinion) those are quite natural and express your appreciation to your girl and I am sure, she would fall head over heal :)

Well, the best way to TELL her is to simply talk to her everyday. Simplest!!! Talk to her either every morning or every night before you go to bed. Tell her that you couldn't imagine your life with out her. That will make her feel really special. I think that actions speak louder than words. So, kiss her goodbye and hello every day :)

Sometimes, giving gifts is also essential. In most cases, flowers and a nice card (make sure you draft your feelings for her in the card) will do the trick followed by a romantic candle light dinner (would be even special if you plan it as a surprise). And of course, lots of hugs and kisses :)

Or even better, get a pet!! Yes, if she loves animals, you can get her a pet and they last way longer than some flowers or get her a nice plant at least.

Write her a letter (For those who can, write about her in your blogs or poems!!) when you are at work and give it to her when you meet her. Girls generally treasure these kinds of memories, nicely tied with ribbon. They love it.

If you are a husband, find something that is important to her. Get up earlier to her on weekends and make coffee, feed the pets and let your wife sleep a little. (She will be ready to jump your bones when you clean the kitchen, if you could do that too). These little things mean so much to her and it says you love her and you care for her and you are concerned about her and that you understand.

Do not point out her flaws and make her feel she is a misfit. It is often observed in some men that they keep pointing defects in their partner. They might be doing it, so that their partners better themselves. But, most of the times it leaves an adverse effect. She might feel you don’t like her; she is your biggest compromise!! So, beware!! If you wish to see some change in her, put it across in a sweet, not so rude approach.


Finally, there's nothing more you can do, really!! Unless you want to come straight out, and tell her that you love her.


Love is all that she needs from you, give it in abundance.

Excellent post...will keep in mind to foster future relationships... but why is it that everything you have said talks about doing this for her. What about she doing things for him.... it works both ways... but yes truly well written and a pertinent point in today's world when we are over burdened with work and have no time for one and another!
