mommies. how do you still manage tp show your love and appreciation to your husband even if you were together for 10years or more. any tips how make him feel still fresh in our relationship?

I guess, it is quite difficult because I think you know all that you have to rekindle your love and all has turned boring and monotonous between you and your husband, but the fact is that you do not get the drive to set it all back. You actually start thinking the futility of having all that. So, the toughest task is to tell yourself that you want all that love and appreciation that used to rule your life once. But, I think, one should go back to your school days and college days and recall what used to make you happiest the most. How you cherished when your man used to praise your eyes or hair and how you still feel good when you are praised. We generally go out for long walks, go for trekking and stay at tents and sleeping bags. ;p http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/features/rekindle-romance http://www1.cbn.com/family/marriage/Burns_RekindleRomance.aspx

It may sound silly, but we say "thank you" to each other for even the most mundane things. For example, I would thank him for the cup of coffee he makes for me every morning . This may sound "too polite" to some, but it is our way of reminding each other to appreciate these thoughtful gestures and not take things for granted. Of course, we don't say it out of habit, every "thank you" is genuine.

Perhaps you can try an activity that your husband loves but something you wouldn't necessarily try yourself? For example, if he likes football, you can plan to take him to watch his favourite team play live even though you might not enjoy it as much. I'm sure he will appreciate the gesture. He gets his favourite girl and his favourite hobby all at once -- what can be better?

Always tell him you love him and say thank you to him whenever you feel thankful and feel loved. Another way is to write a couple diary e.g.: http://www.amazon.com/Our-Day-3-Year-Journal-People/dp/0770436684 which will help both of you understand each other more and love each other even more.

Married for ten years now. I show love and appreciation by making breakfast at 430am date namin yan sa umaga. Also, i send him encouraging text messages about work, life, as a dad and unending i love you's any time of the day.

Making a special dish, a surprise kiss or message, words of appreciation, a smile, holding hands and cuddling, etc. are some gestures which are never outdated. They always make the spouse feel special.
