Remember Why You Fell in Love

   Schedule quiet time together. Whether you drink your morning coffee together before the kids wake up or stay up 15 minutes later than usual, setting aside quality time with your wife every day will remind you of the little things you love about her. Do not talk about work, the kids or doctor appointments. Focus on the two of you.

2. Recreate dates by eating meals in the backyard, porch or living room. Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images

   Revisit your dating years. When you first starting courting your wife, you gave her flowers, bought little trinkets and took her on dates. You dazzled her with your humor or cooking skills and showed her you were a gentleman. Recreate those dating moments on a daily basis. Leave little notes by the coffee pot, her car windshield or other visible place she will find them. Write your own or use famous love quotes. Leave a message on her voicemail each day reminding her that your love her. Feed her bites of food from your dinner plate and savor the look on her face. Watching her responses to your courtship will remind you why you married her.

3. Look at pictures of the two of you when you were dating. George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty Images

   Keep your eye on the bride. Place pictures of your wife on your work desk and around your office. Scan a picture of the two of you from your dating years and make it your screen saver on your computer and cell phone. Carry a picture of her in your wallet. Every time you see her, you will remember the event the picture was from.

4. Play your music CD whenever you take her out on a date. Thinkstock/Comstock/Getty Images

   Play your song. Playing music that reminds you of your wife will pull at your heartstrings. Set your wedding song for your house as the ringtone on your cell phone. Set the song you first danced to as her cell phone ringtone. Compile a CD or MP3 playlist of all your favorite love songs throughout the years and play them while you drive home from work every night.

5. Helping your wife will make you appreciate all she does. Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images

   Help out. Help your wife with domestic duties every day. Tuck the kids into bed, make breakfast or dinner, do the dishes, take out the trash or vacuum and dust. Your wife will be grateful for the help. You will feel proud to help your lady and you both will have more time and energy for your daily quality time together.
