Is your relationship on the edge of an abyss? Is the woman you love threatening to walk away once and for all? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to change the future and fight for your relationship?

The good news is that you don't have to dig down deep and give your inner Al Bundy the old heave ho. A few small changes on your part will have her looking at you the way Peg Bundy hasn't seen Al in several decades.

Bring Home Small Tokens of Affection

You don't have to rob the chocolate shop or begin a revolving charge account with your community florist. But bringing home the occasional small gift brightens her day and makes her feel like she really is the center of your world.

Show Her How Much You Need Her

Women, above all else, NEED to be needed. Just as you enjoy words of flattery and hat look she gets in her eyes, she enjoys feeling like your life functions well because she does her part to make it work. Tell her just how much you need her every once in a while.

Take the time to tell her how much you appreciate the things she does around the house: making your lunch, keeping things tidy, and nurturing your children. These are the types of things that make a huge impression and that ultimately melt her heart.

Be There for Her — Really There

There is one thing your woman WANTS from you more than anything else. She wants this more than she wants you to spend money on her buying gifts or living in a big house. She wants your time.

Not just time you spend in the Lazy-boy with your head glued to the television, tablet, or computer.

She wants your time and attention. She wants more than for you to simply be in the house. She wants you to be PRESENT in conversations and interactions with her.

It doesn't cost money, but it will require you to change the way you do things. The rewards, though, are worth giving up a little bit of “veg out” down time at the end of a long day of work.

You don't have to go too far above and beyond the call of duty in order to make your girlfriend or wife feel like the most precious things in your world.

Mastering the art of doing these things can even be the difference in working things out so you can get your ex back or adjusting to life without her in it.
