"The Five Love Languages"
Gary Chapman
Dr. Gary Chapman, Christian counselor and author of The Five Love Languages, writes about the importance of being able to express love to your spouse in a way that your spouse can understand. He calls this type of communicating using the five love languages.
Words of Affirmation:
This is when you say how nice your spouse looks, or how great the dinner tasted. These words will also build your mate's self image and confidence.
Quality Time:
Some spouses believe that being together, doing things together and focusing in on one another is the best way to show love. If this is your partner's love language, turn off the TV now and then and give one another some undivided attention.

Gifts:
It is universal in human cultures to give gifts. They don't have to be expensive to send a powerful message of love. Spouses who forget a birthday or anniversary or who never give gifts to someone who truly enjoys gift giving will find themselves with a spouse who feels neglected and unloved.
Acts of Service:
Discovering how you can best do something for your spouse will require time and creativity. These acts of service like vacuuming, hanging a bird feeder, planting a garden, etc., need to be done with joy in order to be perceived as a gift of love.
Physical Touch:
Sometimes just stroking your spouse's back, holding hands, or a peck on the cheek will fulfill this need.
( SIDENOTE: I occasionally give in to mass chain letters. A little extra luck can't hurt. Right? )

Stranger in the dark.
( SIDENOTE: If I don't get a new tattoo or piercing soon I'm going to have to cut| dye my hair. I can't take this much regularity. )
