When we travel, I can't drink carbonated beverages before I get on a plane or I feel motion sickness. My husband usually remembers this before me, and buys me juice instead of anything carbonated. Just shows me he's thinking of me, even when I'm not

When I go get water at work (we work in the same office), I always ask if he needs anything. Not only do I get a chance to see him, but I get to do something nice. When we eat lunch, we go back and forth on who has more time to actually make lunch -- sometimes I'm swamped and he'll do it, sometimes he's swamped and I'll do it. Sometimes we both need a break and we go out

When we eat out, I spot things on the menu he might like to eat. I'm a vegetarian, he's not, but I point out things I know he'd like.

I try to encourage him in general. If I think he is good at something, I tell him. It might seem really simple, but sometimes he feels taken for granted, and by telling him "thank you" or "you did a great job on that" or "you're really good at that" it serves as a reminder that I really am paying attention

There's always things we need to work on, but by paying attention to each other we have a constant reminder that we really are there.
