Men want to be appreciated and respected. Even if you are in a relationship where both of you work, he still needs to hear that you appreciate how hard he is working.

And if he does something around the house, let him know that you noticed and are grateful for his help and support. The more you let him know that you truly appreciate all he does for you, the more he will be willing to do. Make sense?

Men especially need to feel needed. This is particularly true if you make more money than he does.

Men show affection through their actions more than by an outpouring of romantic words. You can do the same for him. Yes, tell him that you love him but also show him.

Make him or order in his favorite meal, every once in a while. There is a reason they say that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Just like providing for you is hard wired into him, the idea of a woman cooking a meal still has universal appeal. There is something very loving about providing a meal.

If he has a particular passion show an interest in it. Buy him the fishing pole he has been eyeing or actually sit down and watch a game with him. Let him know that you have been listening and actually care about what interests him. And if he is going through a tough time, listen and support him.

Showing a man that you love him means just that. Love letters and proclamations of love may be the way to your heart but a back massage and a well cooked steak may be the way to his.
