19 Unexpectedly Sweet Ways To Show Your Partner You Love Them

When you love someone with all your heart, it's normal to want to scream it from the rooftops and ensure your partner knows it in every way, too. But as amazing as saying "I love you" can be, these unexpectedly sweet ways to show your partner you love them can be just as wonderful. While these simple ways of showing your love may seem almost too easy on the surface, they can leave a lasting impression on your sweetheart. If you tell your partner you love them, and you show them with each of these little things, it can help them see that your love for them isn't going anywhere, even if they already knew that.

People say it's the little things that count, and when it comes to showing your partner how you feel, that can be especially true. How you go about showing your love can depend on your partner's personality, their zodiac sign, or even their love language. Some people prefer receiving love through words of affirmation, quality time, or physical touch, while others are all about acts of service or receiving gifts. Regardless of how your partner likes to be shown love, there are plenty of ways to show them just how strongly you feel, in addition to saying, "I love you." Here are 19 ways to do exactly that.

1. Leave a little chocolate kiss on their pillow.

2. Choose something they like over something you like sometimes, like toothpaste or late-night fast food spot.
