Mother Teresa once said that the greatest disease in the world is not cancer or diabetes or AIDS, but being unloved and rejected. She could be right. All of us regardless of our economic status in life need love and affection. We all wish to be love and appreciated for our own worth as persons, despite our imperfections. Some of us are uncomfortable in expressing our love.

A psychologist give you tips how to show you care to your spouse the practical way.

1) According to a guidance counselor apply the three Cs. The three Cs stand for Complement, Commend and Congratulate. Try to be attentive and generous with your affection, and remember to tell him anything nice that someone else had said about him. Tell him how much you appreciate his efforts in providing for you family's needs in spite of the hard time. He will love you more for being thankful, kind and understanding.

2) Learn to listen. According to psychologist learn to pay attention. Make your partner feel that what comes out of his mouth is important to you. Lend him your ear and stop whatever it is you're doing. In other words, be more sensitive and read between the lines. When your man is upset about something, let him express his feelings freely. Don't interrupt or refute his logic. Just sit there and just listen. Speak only to seek clarification on matters you don't understand. Furthermore, the psychologist cited that make eye contact with your spouse. Look straight into his eyes and ignore outside interference. Encourage positive comments by behaving positively, too. Most of all, listen with the eyes of love. Through your loving gaze, your partner will know how much you care for him and how much you enjoy his sharing his thoughts with you.

3) Help with the house chores. This is most applicable to the male species. Most wives work outside the house to help their husbands, and also to augment their income since a child or two might be in college. But then, when the wife comes home from work, she would feel resentment if she still does all the household chores. It's quite not fair while she work and her husband spend time with his friends, playing cards or worse getting drunk. There should be fair division of labor so that the wife should not feel so exhausted with all the homework. So dear husband, doing household does not make a man a sissy or a softie; rather, it is his expression of his sense of responsibility in life and his way of showing sympathy and love for his working wife cited a renowned author.

So next time, if you want to show how much you care - do it the practical way.
