Listen ~
Give your mate your full attention and your eyes when he or she
wants to talk with you.  Put down your agenda for a moment.

Overlook ~
Overlook little irritations and idiosyncrasies.
We all do human and even stupid things sometimes.
  However, if necessary, talk about it.
Don't "stuff it,"  if it is important, but respect vulnerabilities.

Value ~
How?  With your time, love in your face, words, and touch.
Honor your mate both in public and private.
 

Encourage ~
Give your mate sincere and appreciation.
Help build in your mate
a healthy self concept.

MAKE SHOWING LOVE A PRIORITY
