12. Plan a date for the two of you and don't tell her what any of the plans are. (Check out our great list of 50 fun and cheap date ideas for inspiration.)
13. Make a list of things you love about her, write them on sticky notes, and hide them all over the house so she'll continue finding them throughout the week.

15. Notice something she has mentioned needing to replace or been wanting and get it for her.

29. Recreate your first date or other memorable moments during your courtship.
30. Put the cereal back in its place after breakfast and your clothes away at the end of the day.
31. Come home early from work one day with dinner in hand. (If you can't come home early, let her know beforehand that you've got dinner taken care of.)
32. Thank her often and verbally for being a wonderful wife and mother. Mention specific things you appreciate.
33. Take the trash out before she asks.
34. Find and frame an old photo of your early dating or married days. Give it to her for her nightstand or desk.

48. Go on an extra fancy date to the orchestra or something out of the norm.
49. Take a picture of her on your phone when you think she's being cute with the kids or any other time.
50. And, because it bears repeating: TELL HER you love her.
