Verbalize your feelings. Give compliments, let them know how important they are to you through words of encouragement, and of course, say "I love you."

Give gifts. Some people feel very loved whenever they receive a gift and this can be a great way to express your love because it takes time and thought to figure out what they like. The gifts do not have to be expensive. Try giving a coffee mug to your dad, a beanbag to a kid, some flowers to your wife, or some chocolate to your husband.

Give the gift of touch. Some people go for years without being touched once by another human being. Try giving your friends a hug when they seem down or make it a rule to hug your family when you see them.

Give people your time. You don't have to do anything fancy -- just spend a few hours talking at a coffee shop or go for a walk in the park together. As long as you are giving others your undivided attention, they will see that you care enough about them to spend time with them.

Show your love through acts of service. Next time your sister is stressed, offer to help her with something, or take care of the kids for your wife. Easing the burden for others is a great way to show that you appreciate all that they do and you love them enough to make life a little easier for them.
