The warm up.
Put her first in your relationship. Make the bed. Help with the housework, do them together. Open the car door for her. Remember how you used to feel when you were dating? Did you get butterflies? Did the hair on the back of your neck stand up? Remember she is the same person. She relates to little things more often than big things. A gentle brush of the hand or a longing look can go far in setting the mood. Always ask her about her day. She does have a life you know. Tell her you missed her. Leave little notes for her around the house or in her car. Linger when you hug her and hug her everyday. Smell her hair, feel the softness of her skin. Brush your lips against her neck when you hug. Hold her hand for no reason other than being close. Look her in the eye when you tell her that you love her and tell her that everyday. Lift her up and compliment her in front of others. Remind her how important she is to you and your children. Try keeping a "remembering" book and share it with her on your anniversary. Include dates and intimate details of "Special Times" together; "Remember that stupid fight we had about... and how we made-up for two days afterwards?" Time and attention are all that is required to do these things and the rewards will last a lifetime.
