If you’re married and still do these 7 things for each other, your love is highly unique

We all crave to have that special bond in our marriage, don’t we?

But sometimes, amidst the hustle and bustle of life, it feels like the magic is fading.

You might even question whether your love is as unique as you once believed it to be.

Feeling that way? You’re not alone.

Many of us often overlook the subtle gestures that indicate our love is still quite unique.

In fact, you and your spouse might be nurturing a unique kind of love without even realizing it. The signs aren’t always obvious.

So, today, I’m going to share with you seven things that, if you’re still doing for each other, prove your love is highly unique.

This might be a wake-up call for some.

Remember, my aim here isn’t to judge your relationship. If anything, I want you to see the beauty in the mundane acts of love.

Perhaps, after reading this, you’ll find that your love is more unique than you ever imagined…

Shall we find out?

1) You still surprise each other

In my own marriage, surprises have always held a special place.

It’s not about grand gestures or expensive gifts.

Sometimes, it’s as simple as my husband cooking my favorite meal on a busy Monday when I least expect it. Or me arranging his workspace just the way he likes it.

These little surprises remind us that we’re thinking of each other, that we care about each other’s happiness. If you and your spouse still surprise each other now and then, trust me, your love is unique.

And while you try to fill each other’s time with thoughtful surprises, you also respect when one of you needs some time in solitude…

2) You respect each other’s alone time

This one is so important yet so often overlooked.

We live in an age where ‘being busy together’ is romanticized. But in my experience, respecting each other’s alone time is just as crucial.

My husband and I ensure we have our ‘me’ time – he likes to read in the study while I enjoy watching reruns of my favorite shows.

This doesn’t mean we love each other any less; instead, it nurtures our individuality within the relationship.

So if you and your partner value your personal spaces while being together, your love indeed stands out.

This respect for each other’s needs and space goes further — when you respect each other, you also know how to put your pride aside…

3) You apologize when you’re wrong

Saying sorry isn’t always easy.

People tend to avoid apologies because they fear it may make them appear incompetent or weak.

Yet, when you’re married, it’s different. Owning up to your mistakes and genuinely apologizing form the building blocks of trust and understanding.

If you and your spouse can put your pride aside and say ‘I’m sorry’ when you’re wrong, it speaks volumes about the uniqueness of your love.

Saying ‘I am sorry’ is immensely important in a marriage. But there is another three-word statement that can’t be overlooked…

4) You still say ‘I love you’

My husband and I have a little tradition.

Before we part ways in the morning and before we go to sleep at night, we always say ‘I love you’.

It’s not about the words; it’s about the emotion behind them.

It’s a simple reminder of the love that binds us together, that no matter how tough the day was or what challenges tomorrow might bring, we’re in this together.

If you and your spouse still take a moment to express your love for each other every day, believe me, your love is exceptional.

And as you express your love to your spouse, do your hands meet? 

5) You still hold hands

It might sound like a small gesture, but holding hands is a powerful expression of love and comfort.

You see, it’s not just about the physical touch. It’s about the silent promise that you’re there for each other, through the highs and lows, the joys and sorrows, the triumphs and trials.

If in the midst of life’s chaos, you find your fingers intertwined with your spouse’s, it’s a testament to the enduring strength of your love.

As you go through life holding hands, it’s important to remember that each of you is still an individual with their passions and interests…

6) You care about each other’s interests

In my marriage, I’ve learned that love isn’t just about sharing common interests; it’s also about caring for what the other person loves.

My husband is a huge fan of vintage cars, something I knew nothing about when we first met. But over the years, I’ve found myself learning about different models and accompanying him to vintage car shows.

He, in return, has joined me in my yoga classes even though he was initially skeptical.

If you and your spouse take an interest in each other’s passions, that’s a beautiful indication of your unique love. Moreover, if you are a cheerleader for your partner’s goals, it is yet another sign of a wonderful marriage…

7) You support each other’s dreams

One of the most beautiful aspects of being in a marriage is having someone who not only knows your dreams but also supports them.

Having a supportive partner can significantly boost your chances of achieving your long-term goals.

In my own life, I’ve seen this play out. My husband has been my rock, supporting me when I decided to start my own business — from late-night brainstorming sessions to being my first customer.

If you and your partner are each other’s cheerleaders, it’s safe to say your love is one-of-a-kind.

Conclusion

Every relationship is unique, and these points are not a checklist but rather a reminder of the small yet significant things that make your love special.

So if you’re still doing these seven things for each other after being married, give yourself a pat on the back – your love indeed is highly unique!
