"Simple acts by your partner can brighten your day! A question was posed online: "Women, what can a guy do to brighten your day instantly?" Here are top responses!"

SCOOP BIG HUGS

"My husband's hugs melt my anxiety away. They help me breathe and feel safe. It's a small thing, but means so much."

FOREHEAD KISSES

“A kiss on the forehead. All kisses are great, but there’s just something about a kiss on the forehead that makes you melt.”

MUTUAL GRATITUDE

"Praise my unpaid efforts for our family. Mutual gratitude in striving for the best is key to our happiness."

THOUGHTFUL COMPLIMENTS

“An actual, genuine, thoughtful compliment will make my day and week and year probably.”

SAYING GOOD MORNING AND GOOD NIGHT

"The affection in 'Good morning' or 'Good night' texts shows they're thinking of me. It's small but lovely, yet possibly creepy if not dating or flirting."

PICTURES OF CUTE ANIMALS

“My husband knows I love animals, so If I’m having a rough day, he sends me cute animal videos and pictures to make me smile.”

THE LITTLE THINGS

"The little things matter. A kiss, doing chores unasked, or buying me a puppy for my dream chihuahua army."

COMPANIONABLE SILENCE

“Companionable silence is so underrated. Just existing in the same space, doing your own thing. It’s pretty nice no matter who you are.”

FLOWER BOUQUETS

“Flower bouquets always make my day. Nothing crazy; any flowers at all make my heart so happy. Random hugs always make me feel nice, too. Compliments but only genuine compliments.”

VALIDATING EMOTIONS

“Validate my emotions, even if it seems silly. Don’t offer solutions unless I directly ask for them.”

POLITE TREATMENT

“Just treat me as an equally valuable human being. Not as potential partners, not as an object. Just like any human being. Be polite, don’t hit on me. Easy.” 

A BIG SMILE

“Give me a big smile and a fist bump or hug, depending on how well I know them.”

MAKE ME SOME FOOD

“Make me some food. Anything, breakfast, a cake, dinner, a dessert, or grab me a drink without me having to ask.”

MAKE ME LAUGH

"Had a rough day at work, but a coworker's dramatic farewell from our team call, sliding out of the camera with just fingers waving, made my day better."

MAKE COFFEE FOR ME

“Make a pot of coffee. He doesn’t drink it, but it tastes better than mine!”
