How I did it: Without realizing it, I got lazy and complacent.  I didnt even see that I wasn't making my wife feel loved and appreciated as much as she deserves.  When it finally hit me that small reminders here and there would mean the world to her, I finally wised up and put some effort into our relationship.  Once I started doing that, we both were able to grow closer than we had been in a really long time.  Thanks to experienced individuals, I learned a few little things can make a significant difference.  I love my wife so Im willing to do whatever it takes.

Lessons & tips: Put your spouse's needs before your own, take advice from people who have been married happily for many years, and work on improving communication until you die.
