For those who are reluctant or are downright scared to utter thoughtful words to your significant other, Valentine's Day offers a perfect opportunity to get in practice. You will be amazed at how easy it is once you get the hang of it. Here are some helpful starters and sometimes your actions speak louder than words. In these difficult financial times, it is good to know that these do not cost you one red cent, but they pay tremendous dividends.

1. Tell her/him how much you love him/her every day.

2. Listen to him/her for two minutes without interrupting.

3. Be patient.

4. Focus on the positive.

5. Say please and thank you often.

6. Greet each new day as a fresh beginning of your life together.

7. Respect his/her need for privacy.

8. Respect her/his need for quiet time.

9. Remember that you cannot solve her/his problems.

10. Remember that in all of your human relationships, she/he comes first.

Every day will not run smoothly, that is when she/he will need your support even more.
