It's so simple to show your spouse how much you care, but it's also so easy to let the business of life get in the way of your marriage. As a spouse, you hold all the secrets about your partner — his fears, his failures and his insecurities. From that privileged place, you also hold the power to either lift him up or tear him down. Both husband and wife share a responsibility to bring out the best in each other. You can do that with just a few perfectly simple acts each day.
